I (this guy) was accountable for most of the app that you simply get to play with starting today. So, if there’s anything you don’t like about it (or something you do!), be happy to jot down on my wall.
I simply needed to speak a bit about the app itself (and its uses!) in addition to a few of the product decisions that went into it.
A local mobile experience.
It’s very easy to take an existing internet experience and shortly port it into a cell one. But I don’t actually imagine in that method. After all, you already use your telephone very otherwise out of your computer. Usually in small short bursts, with one hand, on a much smaller screen.
I looked on the potential of what Pinterest would seem like if it was designed for the cellphone from day one. And that’s precisely what I did. I didn’t want the cellular experience to feel like a companion app, however fairly an independent expertise (and maybe even the first means you employ Pinterest).
Pinning on the go.
I like having the ability to see people’s wonderful tastes within the things they share from around the web. I’m actually excited by the chance to see what people can uncover and share with Pinterest on the go.I’ve used it to share amazing meals I’ve had, crazy trying buildings around my neighborhood, and well-known landmarks around San Francisco, and I can’t wait to see what everyone else uses it for.Less tapping more pinning!The usage patterns of mobile apps are very totally different from these on the web. It's more likely to fire up Pinterest whereas in line at the grocery retailer or whereas taking public transport to work. I built the app with that experience in mind.The app is extraordinarily quick to load, and I put a variety of effort into making the app easy to use with only one hand. You may go from your feed, to a pin, to a person, to a board, to a pin, and beyond… with only one hand (while your different holds onto your groceries, for instance).Much less is more, and for the app that means that much less tapping means more browsing and pinning. And who doesn’t like more shopping and pinning?!
In addition to typing a remark or description, the entire app is very simply browsable using both hand. You possibly can like and repin pins from the feed with a single faucet, and you can browse your entire dwelling feed with zero.
I spent a number of time designing the filter choice interface. It’s extremely fast and you don’t must tap every filter to attempt it out. Rather, you possibly can swipe between the entire filters (even whereas they course of) and faucet as soon as to decide on the one you want best. It’s super slick.
