Weekly newsletter summing up our publications and showcasing app developers and their amazing creations.

Welcome to this week's edition of our newsletter.

Last week, we teased K.I.T.E. UX, a benchmark tool that aims to make spatial ergonomics more measurable, comparable, and actionable, promising more details soon.

This week, we’re excited to finally share that the first version is online and you can explore it here:

K.I.T.E. UX — Prototypes that fly into space.

Indie App of the Week

Biscuit Camera

In photography, composition is everything. The rule of thirds, symmetry, and leading lines all exist to guide the viewer’s eye deciding what they notice first, how their gaze moves, and what emotion the image leaves behind.

Biscuit camera, developed by Daniela, makes composition a playful and essential part of taking a photo, creating an experience that feels simple yet carefully crafted. Instead of cropping later, you start with a shape like a square, a circle, or a custom frame and place it where your eye naturally goes, choosing what belongs inside before you click. A dynamic color samples from the photo background live from the camera feed, filling the space outside the frame in real time and turning composition into a thoughtful, almost romantic gesture, as important as the shot itself.
