Toastapp
Just for fun
The definitive app for your chilling.
Toastapp is the result of years of researches during not-so-well organised parties. It’s a project I started with a friend of mine – who was the UI designer – but we never developed. However, it still does seem a cool project to me.
Tools:
Sketch
Paper
Pilot V7
What makes it so cool:
BYOB and single budge parties
Best car route
Bad blood mode
The process
Highlighting problems
The first thing we did was finding out that the main problem of people when they were organising parties were three:
- Who brings what?
- How much we spend?
- Who goes in the car with?
What users want
We experienced in our day by day lives what we really wanted.
We didn’t need something that would change entirely our chat experience. We wanted something that would augment it.No chat
We designed an app without chat but with a “share that” function: in the sharing screen, people would be allowed to import their item list inside the app with just one tap.
Sketching
These years at Napier University have been important for the design of Toastapp. At the beginning I put two tabs to switch between different type of parties. However, I learnt a lot about familiarity. I changed to a better view, with three tabs and a filterable list.
Interaction Design
No more: “Are you coming with me?” type of thing
Do not manage who goes with in the car. Let Toastapp do it, efficiently and easily.
“Wait! Is my ex coming?”
Any ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend in the group? Are you really sure you want to be stuck near them in the same 500 with other two elephants?
No? Great! Here’s the solution: set a bad blood. If someone doesn’t stand someone else, don’t force it.
