The feature is supposed to be built into other apps like whatsapp, Instagram or Facebook messenger. From there it offers a faster experience than jumping to the iOS camera. It is also faster than aiming for buttons to get to the apps'

It's an idea for communication/social networking apps, that have a camera feature built in. It is not available in any app so far, but I'd love to see someone pick it up. Basically turn the phone sideways and the camera turns

Good Points. Maybe something like a Lytro-Focus-slider could be implemented. Front/back and Flash can be adjusted on the panel I the left.

I'm borrowing from snapchat here which uses a similar concept (tap for pics, hold for video) and tried to cut/avoid additional steps. As for focussing: why must focus and trigger be two distinct actions?

Thank you for the feedback. I hadn't thought that it could be interpreted that way. The idea is that it tapping and holding for photo/video works anywhere on the screen. I also would like it to focus on tap (shooting = focussing

Gestures replacing taps/clicks (desktop metaphors) was one of the things I wanted to explore with this.

What's the name of the app? I'd love to see it.

I'd say: clock symbol till it left the phone, one checkmark for delivered, another one for read.

IMO, simplicity, speed and reliability.

my guess would be that every whatsapp account is associated with only one phone number, and you might have to introduce a separate layer of identification. personally, i like having one reliable messenger on one device.

by maxkiener 12y ago
true. I like the ideas behind hangouts (and they have the best emoji). but it is just so painfully slow and unreliable with notifications for me...

the current implementation leaves room for speculation. especially, since others have pointed out, two checkmarks only show that it has been delivered. the "last online" time means (AFAIK) the last time the user was using the app

by maxkiener 12y ago
the thinking was that an empty circle shows the message has been delivered. once it is filled, it is read.

thanks for the feedback, i'm glad you got something out of it. i think proximity in IM-apps are a really interesting topic.
21.
by maxkiener 12y ago
Danke! It took several attempts but i hope it brings the ideas across.
22.
by maxkiener 12y ago
thank you! i imagined it to be similiar to fb messenger. (there would be a symbol that inicates "all others" if the groups size exceeds 6. I also expeimented with more checkmarks, or colored lines that come down and show read prog

How about the first checkmark indicates delivery and the second "read". do you guys care about the "it left the phone" state?
24.
by maxkiener 12y ago
I always assumed that the first checkmark indicates "delivered" and the second one "read", since right after you post it it shows a clock-symbol. also interesting, that i assume with current network speeds sent=delivered

by maxkiener 12y ago
I'll take it.

by maxkiener 12y ago
WHAT?! I was using it for over 2 years under that assumption! Thanks

Danke!

Thanks! I built it as a .js webapp, added to the iphone homescreen. Check out the source-code in the browser dev-tools!
