Posterous using clever guesses
There are lots of new features to explore but my favourite interaction is the new way to add photos to your posts. I add a photo in every post, because I tend to comment on screenshots of UI's. My general process is: take screenshot, save to dropbox, open dropbox on phone and save photo to my camera roll, write post on iPhone app.
So, when I loaded up the new Posterous app to write a post and went to add a photo, I was pleasantly surprised to see the option to choose the latest few images from my camera roll from the same screen.
Historically, this has been done by loading a second screen that displays your photo library and navigating to the photo before choosing it. However, the designers have cleverly guessed that a majority of users might be attaching the latest photo in their camera roll and designed a quick way to do so for those people.
There is still the opportunity to navigate your photo library as before, but I am yet to need to.
This is a great feature as it will save a good majority of people some time and mental effort, while still providing the same backup solution for everyone else.
How can you make your audience's life easier?
