Hey everyone, my name is David, I’m from Austria (not Australia 
) and this is the beginning of my capstone project for the Launch Your First App program.
I started in the IT back in 2011 as a web and java developer while I was studying business informatics. I graduated 2016 as Master of Science in Engeneering and began to work as an Application Manager (2nd to 3rd lvl Support). I’ve been learning iOS for 3 months - one of em with CWC+.
Ultimately, my goal for learning iOS development is to become an indie app developer besides my job as an Application Manager.
I’m looking forward to updating this project log as I progress to completing my capstone project!
If you have any questions. Feel free to ask.

App idea
A very big hobby is (american) football and I already did some API calls to fetch data from a sports API in the assignments and I’ll extend them and create a football app.
You will get to view
- the teams, their rosters, their coaches/staffs, season schedule, game infos (with time delay / no live ticker feature at the beginning) or some pregame data
- the player infos and statistics
- a daily transaction ticker, where you see contract extensions, releases or trades (maybe paid feature)
Furthermore I could app the following features later:
push notifications for favorite teams/players or scores in games
predicting the matches and gathering points if correct - social feature
game live ticker (paid feature)
draft overview (and maybe mock draft)

Day 1
I know, most of the people are designing their icon later but I’m annoyed of the default app icon when you run it on your device or in the simulator.
So I made a first draft of my app icon.
What do you guys think about it?
Day 2
My first Figma view. The app entry’s list view of teams. The background color should change according to the teams “home” colors, the name according to the teams name and the logo according to its logo.
i set the opacity of the background to 0.7 but it darkens the whole view. In reality, only the background and the tabbar at the bottom should have an opacity of 0.7 and 0.5 - the rest an opacity of 1.
What do you guys think?
