• The goal was not to make it fancy.
It was to make the search useful. Students need quick means to find a conversation without distracting their learning.
• For this MVP, I focused on simplicity.
Clean interface, clear message hierarchy, and minimal friction to start a conversation. No unnecessary features yet, just the core interaction working properly.
• I paid attention to the small details.
Input behaviour, timestamps, empty states, and how responses appear. Chat is less about visuals and more about flow and timing.
• What worked?
The interaction feels direct and distraction-free.
• What’s next?
Exploring message states, smart prompts, and possibly structured replies once we validate usage.
It’s still early, but direction > perfection.
Chat design experiences, what do you prioritize first:
Speed, Clarity, or Engagement?
Love this approach 👌 Simplicity is so underrated in MVPs. What was the hardest part to simplify?
Goal: simulate depth and responsiveness.
