Design Decisions

  • It’s not easy to talk about design. Every problem has 'n' number of potential solutions.
  • It was difficult choosing a best among these infinite solutions.
  • However by following good UX practices and focusing on users' need I was able to win on the challenges.

How to present feeds?

Horizontal Scrolling

During testing majority of users did not liked it and found it fatiguing. They found it hard to put the feed in the center of screen.

vs

Vertical Scrolling

Users immediately connected to vertical scroll because they are accustomed to similar pattern found on Facebook, Pininterest, SnapChat, etc.

Kill the hamburger?

With hamburger menu

After user testing I found that hamburger filter menu was not easily discoverable, less efficient and not glanceable.

vs

Without hamburger menu

Users found this approach intuitive, more efficient (reduce by one click) and easy seekable.

Condensed saved feed view

Expanded view

There is little difference between current clip view and saved feed view. It is redundant to show all the information again since user has already viewed it while saving it.

vs

Condensed view

Gives more clean view on its items. Active and expired ads helped users easily find what they want.
