Adding a new feature to an existing app!
Another tiring but exciting week at Ironhack“s been over.
On the 2nd week, I worked on the projectĀ ā adding a folder option to WhatsAppā.Ā
Initially, I was confident and comfortable about my solution and was thinking I would finish the project in two days... I WAS WRONG.
When it comes to add a new feature to an existing app, there are several considerations to be considered such as the location, the UI pattern , user accessibility, user needs. It is also quite important not to break existing appĀ“s current flow with the new feature as this might decrease user engagement.Ā
It does not end here, when a designer finds possible solutions, the idea goes through a critiques session where the solution/ solutions are presented to peers, who are also potential users, designer collects several constructive feedback. According to feedback, solutions are re-considered and revised.
I could complete the project on its 4 days ( full 4 days) and I“m proud of myself to be able to take further steps on my UX/UI Designer path. I“m excited to learn and study on more projects on the upcoming days.
If you read up until here, sending you all my <3
