Milestone 2.2: Concepts
Milestone 2.2: Concepts
With technology quickly evolving and especially becoming more addictive, people are losing motivation to accomplish their goals. Instead, individuals are opting to spend their time on manufactured entertainment apps such as TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram, a condition defined as social media addiction. This can lead to many symptoms including but not limited to disrupted sleep, depression, and decreased work performance. By providing an application that will encourage self-improvement, we hope to guide users to a positive and fulfilling life.
Our product is a smartphone application for IOS or Android. Through the use of instant gratification techniques as well as a minimal user interface, it will encourage productivity and motivation. This will be done by using smartphone haptics for a physical, tactile response for task completion as well as a bright UI to promote a feeling of positivity. For the application backend, we will use list and sorting algorithms to ensure that prioritization is applied to inputted tasks. The resulting application will make task organization simple and convenient for all users
Milestone 2.3: Concept Selection
Milestone 2.3: Concept Selection
Use of only one page for entire app
Use of bubble shape tasks management
Use of varying size bubble tasks to show priority
Use of haptic feedback to provide rewarding feeling of completing a task
Use of some sort of progress tracker
At the moment, these are preliminary ideas that may change depending on how the chosen software works and what is deemed to suit best. Additional feedback from non-bias testers will also help finalize ideas or give inspiration to new ideas.

Milestone 2.4: Design
Above is a mock design of our first rendition of the app. Functions of the app still need to be clarified as well as UI design elements. This visual is simply to present the rough starting idea in a visual medium.

Milestone 2.6: Test Plan
Milestone 2.6: Test Plan
The team's test plan will be to create a simple, beta version of the app and then release it to users by late March to test and give feedback on the app. The team will then take this feedback and implement improved or new features as well as bug fixes. The team will repeat this process and continue to improve the application.
