I intentionally try not to have technology play any role in my parenting philosophy … I would never just sit them in front of the tv or give them an iPad and walk away.
After some user feedback, we decided to modify our original home screen design to make it more functional and better address users' needs. We really liked the first screen visually - it leaned into our principle of 'playful.'
However, the app's primary function is event-finding, and so users should be able to find events as quickly as possible. The original home screen also linked to many basic library functions, but since these were aspects of the digital community that libraries were already doing well on their own websites, we decided to focus our efforts on the underlying function of this app: events.
After focusing our design a little bit, we decided to build out the event flow (these are the wireframes I specifically owned), an onboarding flow, and the flow to find a library branch. We initially included a flow to get help from a librarian, but during our pivot we decided to consolidate that into the 'find a branch' flow.
This app would be really helpful for me to find events to go to at both the Brooklyn and Manhattan branches. I would use it, and probably go to more events!
