Prototypes
See Pancake/Prototyping for rational. User testing sessions:
Feature Notes
Notes from feature implementation discussions we've had. These are living, and therefore loose, specs. What we've outlined here are hypothesis on the best way to address user stories. They will probably evolve in response to prototyping.
- Layer Navigation: "I want to understand where in the app I am, and how to navigate within it".
- Search View: "Help me find x. I want the results to be easy to understand".
- Type-ahead Search
- Clips & Boards "I want to save something I've found", "I want to share things I like"
See Pancake/French_Toast/UX for design rational and a list of all UX sub-pages.
