"Discover a problem, then, provide a solution."
Although this is a scholar project, it can help figure out how — with a limited timeline and large freedom — to organize projects and shape solutions.
Gathered from 10 interviews among people aged 20–35 who are currently sharing a flat.
of interviewees mentioned having difficulties when taking common decisions.
of interviewees mentioned having discomfort cleaning the kitchen.
We discussed the cleaning arrangement, but it was a passive conversation — it worked for a week, then went back to how it was before.
There are always dirty dishes that no one cleans.
People have different ideas of when to do the dishes and how the kitchen should be left.
This app helps to build community commitment among flatmates by giving incentives, thus motivating people to do house chores — creating not only a clean and organized environment but also good vibes.
Feedback icons & card
The icon wasn't understood as bad feedback for a flatmate — it read as "prohibited" or "never done" instead, which created confusion. We got inspired by Facebook's reaction approach instead.
Editable points by the admin
Testers were confused about the concept: could anyone modify the points? "Can I add more points to myself and change the others?" Points were changed into a closed format, editable only by the group admin.
Chore card with timer
Testers didn't understand what the card meant: "Kitchen? Do I have to cook? To clean? What should I do?" They also didn't notice the date range or understand what it meant — so we added a timer to remind them of the chore and create urgency and a sense of the game.
