Hello!
My name is nana. I work at a small architecture office in New Jersey. I love learning new things – so when I was in college I took a lot of psychology and scripting courses besides architecture. Right now I’m on my journey to find my future dream job that will let me further explore all of those fields!
Three Things I didn’t know until I read the Android Design Guidelines.
1. Definition of activities, task, and intent.
2. Double touch drag lets you zoom in or out centered around your gesture. I didn’t know about this feature until now and I’ve been an android user since 5 years ago.
3. Attempts at politeness (use of sorry, thank you, please) can annoy the user!
And here’s my first attempt at map app and wireframes.

Hey Nana,
We talked about this in class but when you invite, could it be worth getting any other information besides location? They would probably want some context of who is inviting them and for what, especially because their current location may not be where they’ll be at 8:30 tomorrow night. It’d also be nice if the invitees didn’t need your app to be able to participate. Maybe that can be just done on the web.
We also talked about this in class: using a real map seems like a good exercise since approximating location and being aware of things like travel time with public transit, etc., will need to be considered for the app to be really useful (in New York at least).
Is there somewhere I can see my pending invitations? Can I remind people if they’ve forgotten?
For recommendations, can I filter in any way? At very least by meal/coffee/drinks?
After something is planned can I look at it again in the app? With the invites, just sending out calendar invites for people makes sense, but it might be nice for the organizer to make a change to the invite or things like that.
Facilitating easy communication and connection to existing calendaring and communication tools will be very necessary.
I don’t think there’s any need for 5.0 archive. Maybe you let people favorite places, but even that doesn’t seem super necessary.
