Spoon is a dating app concept aiming to make online dating more efficient, and fair. The concept has the following main characteristics: 1) Gender equality ⁠— the app decides who makes the first move; 2) Time efficiency — no need to put in hours of work to meet somebody; 3) Incremental steps towards a clear goal — no limbo states, no endless/goalless swiping; 4) Fairness, respect, and accountability for its users — choosing someone means you commit resources to that person, no second thoughts allowed; 5) Match exclusivity — chat with only one person at a time; no competing for one’s attention; 6) Fast and fluid interactions — chat while both users are online and active, no offline messages. I hope you like it.

Basic menu using a moving focus model for TV apps such as Hulu, Youtube etc. Key presses are used to map interactions which would be mapped to physical remote controls for live demos. Note: Must click the canvas to enable key presses, this seems to be a common restriction with most prototyping tools when building key press focus interaction models.

The project contains numerous examples completed using variables and conditional logic.

This is a UX design prototype for Pandora's Android app (from October 2014), adding a "Driving Mode" and lateral navigation between stations from the Now Playing screen. I took a challenge to redesign Pandora's Android app or add features at my discretion. Focusing on the Now Playing screen where users probably spend most of their time, I identified two areas in which I wanted to improve its UX: station identification and navigation, and its user experience while on the go. A 7 minute 25 second presentation of this demo with commentary is available on YouTube: http://youtu.be/LyH6Gl580OY A full write-up of an earlier, pre-Proto.io iteration of the design (along with a downloadable pdf) is available at http://edwinli.com/ux/portfolio/pandora-driving-mode/.
