Convert any file just by dragging it with Shift held.
Thameem built Tangerine, a Mac app that turns file conversion into a single gesture. Hold Shift, drag a file, and a circular menu pops up with hundreds of options for images, video, audio, PDFs and documents.
It can also crop, compress, trim and merge files, all locally on your Mac, with nothing uploaded to a server.
My take as a designer: great UX doesn't add another screen, it hides the feature inside a gesture you already make.
We're not standing still at Reliqio either. We're currently building the world's first app configurator: choose what your app needs and see the cost, team and timeline in minutes. See the first components.
