Now that I’m starting to get deeper into the prototyping process I have decided to create a mind map using physical post-its to visualize the user flow. While I typically rely on digital tools like Miro or Figma for convenience, trying out physical post-its offered a refreshing change. I found that having something tangible in my hands, even if it was just paper and pen, helped boost my creative flow. Within just 10 minutes, I was able to outline the most important aspects of my app.
However, I still prefer digital methods because I enjoy drawing arrows to illustrate connections between different flows, which wasn’t feasible with post-its. For future projects, I might consider using a large sheet of paper to combine the tactile experience with the ability to create more detailed visual connections.
Something that came to mind while thinking through the process was the aspect of gamifying the donation process a little bit. I want to incorporate some statistics and maybe a point system for inviting friends to donate.
