Solo Project 04 Weeks 11/2022
For this project, I had to choose an app that exists and try and identify a way that it could be improved with a new feature. I chose the New York Times app. After research and user interviews I found that one issue that was common amongst those who stay engaged with the news was spikes of anxiety and existential dread. I decided to design a feature where users could filter for positive news stories so that they could stay informed on positive global developments and stories.
What am I trying to solve?
I began by analysing the good and bad parts of the app to try and spot a gap where a new feature might be useful. I broke my observations down into positive and negative
What exists?
I noted the existing features to see what they are already implementing.
To gain insights into how other companies were addressing the UX processes of news delivery systems, I studied the systems of NYT competitors.
What am I trying to solve?
How will I solve it?
I created a user journey to map out where my solution will fit into the existing flow
Jobs to Be Done and New Feature storyI listed out the key functions of my new feature and how it will help the user to better define my idea.
