Chrome Bookmarks

Chrome has a bookmark feature for its users and it’s a good system but it becomes difficult to easily locate your exact search when you have over 30 bookmarks.

After designing and prototyping, I had some users both online and offline test the design. Some were professionals in tech and others were not in the tech industry. Majority of the people who used the design were satisfied and gave positive remarks. One Product manager in particular gave some suggestions so I decided to build on it and present an alternative solution with its own prototype flow.

After testing the design, users found the Gallery Albums solution to be visually appealing and easy to navigate. They appreciated the familiar grouping style and found it easier to locate bookmarks with the new arrangement.

In creating this solution, I was able to explore other features that weren’t visible in the beginning of the process. The “share to others” button came about when I was making the screen for the “cooking folder”. A person might want to share those particular group of bookmarks to a friend or family member.

When you are stuck during any process, take some time away and come back to the issue with a fresh perspective. This approach helped me a lot in the ideation stage.
