Week #5920 December 2015

We check our phones approximately 150 times a day, according to a recent study. No notifications, but we still check our phones or browse through what we saw about an hour ago. Doctors tell us that we shouldn't look at our phones before bed for better sleep quality, but we still do it anyway. We look at our phones all the time.

This week, I wanted to design something simple that minimizes the time we spend on our phones. The idea is simple: users sign into their accounts, and the app collects highlights from the accounts each week based on trends, interests, likes, comments, etc. Of course, most social networks out there would favor this kind of app, but it's not wrong to imagine stuff, right? ;)

If your Christmas holiday has just started, I hope you have an excellent break. And I wish you all a Merry Christmas.

It collects all the stuff. You ease your addiction.

The app collects highlights for the week and curates them based on what's trending, popular, mentioned, commented on, etc.

Connect to selected networks to collect highlights from your accounts. This would also be covered through an onboarding experience.

Highlights ready

Once all the highlights for the week are collected, users can view them at the end of the week. Anything unread will be kept within this timeline.

Viewing highlights

No need to tap around. Scrolling is all you need to view the highlights.

Essentials still there

The basics are still provided. The like icon also changes based on the network.

Instead of doing detailed sketches for screens, I started with a bit of ontology to organize my thoughts this time.
