User testing
Feedback
Task 01
The Home page displays 'My ladder' where users can add tasks and track progress using progress bars in each rung for motivation, based on user testing feedback.
Progress Bar
To edit a rung, document a task, or contact friends about a task issue, users can just tap on the rung to access these three options.
Task 02
Tap on rung
All user-uploaded task documentation, including pictures, videos, voice notes, notes, and mood tracking, is stored here, by date for easy access at any time.
Task 03
Archive
Users can easily reach out to friends for help with specific tasks, triggering an automatic group chat with the relevant friends.
Task 04
Chat
Users can check their friends' ladders, view their task progress and what they’ve documented, and leave messages for them if they’d like to!
Task 05
Friends
User experience flow
Iterated concept
After user testing, we revised the wireframes and created high-fidelity prototypes based on the feedback received.
