I redesigned WhatsApp by introducing a “Remind Me” feature that helps users save important messages and receive reminders at the right time.
The problem was that important messages often get buried in busy chats, forcing users to rely on screenshots, starred messages, or external reminder apps. Through user research, I found that both professionals and students struggle to keep track of deadlines, meeting links, assignments, and follow-ups inside WhatsApp.
To solve this, I designed a simple reminder flow directly within the app:
Long press any message
Select “Remind Me Later”
Choose a date and time
Receive a private notification linked back to the original message
I also introduced a dedicated “Reminders” section where users can view, edit, and manage all saved reminders in one place.
This redesign focuses on reducing cognitive load, improving productivity, and keeping users inside the WhatsApp ecosystem instead of switching to external note-taking or reminder apps. The final experience is lightweight, intuitive, and seamlessly integrated into WhatsApp’s existing interaction patterns.

Day 3 of working on my project for the Lovable Challenge.
And somehow, almost one full day of those three went into the intro you see when the page first opens.
Not because it was necessary — mostly because I’ve wanted to try something like this for a long time.
Web design and development are far from my main field, so I kept putting this idea off. This challenge finally gave me a reason to test it properly — and seeing it actually work is ridiculously satisfying.
The video was converted into an image sequence and tied directly to scrolling on desktop and swiping on mobile, so the animation is controlled by the user as they move through the page.
Right now the project is already at Build 4.2.3.
The backend is working properly, the main mechanics are in place, but visually… there’s still a lot to redo. The current plan is to rebuild almost the entire visual layer before the final version.
I also found out today that Lovable reduced the number of prize spots quite significantly — apparently, there will only be 3 finalists.
That definitely makes the odds a little more painful 😅
But either way, I’m already getting a new portfolio case out of this project, and I’m finally experimenting with things I’ve wanted to build for a long time.
How’s everyone else doing?
Still working on your project, or have you already submitted it?
Or did you decide not to participate at all? If so, I’m curious — what made you skip it?
