- An intimate social media space for a friend
Made for the course Interactive Design and the Internet, the website that allows friends to leave notes to my friend Myra and allows her to replay those notes as meows from her favorite cat memes based on the length of the notes.
The class challenged us to make a tool specific to one person in our life. So I looked at Myra's interests and what she wants from a social media platform, as she does not use social media. I then studied other social media platforms and how those could apply to my project.
Myra wants to keep in touch with her friends who she sometimes does not see as much, as it’s difficult to keep up with all that goes on at Yale. Functions similar to Snapchat/Instagram Stories, but also sort of like a group chat - exclusive to who Myra gives her password out to.
Myra wants a private social space outside of social media, as she wants to know what happens with her friends privately. Through testing, it was shown that friends used this space like an extended group chat, sending out updates and notes to Myra.
The emphasis is then making this a comfortable and private space for Myra and her friends.
