Problem Statement

Person(s) Responsible: Max

Due Date: Jan 26

Meaningful connection and genuine interaction have been sacrificed for design intended solely to capture and retain our attention. Social media platforms are driven by design that prioritize virality, controversy, and superficial metrics. This environment has created unhealthy consumption habits and incentivizes posting content designed to engage and capture attention rather than share and connect.

Solution Statement

Due Date: Jan 26

Loam is a social sharing app that has built an ideal foundation for growing and maintaining meaningful relationships. Our designs are algorithm and metric free, and work to help users share authentically.  Each feature, or lack there of, is built to foster healthy online social habits and eschew the dark patterns present on existing social media platforms. Our loyalty is to you and your potential for growth - not your data points, your attention, or profitability.

Notifications Ethos

Person(s) Responsible: Joe

Due Date: Jan 26

We've built an ethos / standard to put next to our ideas for our notifications. It's something of a rubric or criteria for our notifications. The ethos includes our ethical positioning on notifications and provides questions that ensure a notification strategy is ethical. It also includes the cost of each strategy, How often would each email would be sent per user? and asks what the impact is of the strategy.
