IN MY DESIGN FOR COMMUNITY CLASS, WE WERE ASKED TO HELP CREATE A PRODUCT THAT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO A COMMUNITY OF OUR CHOICE. MY DECISION WAS PROMPTED BY BEING AN INTROVERT MYSELF AND DEVELOPING SOMETHING THAT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE.
THE INTROGO APP WAS CREATED WITH INTROVERTS IN MIND. MY RESEARCH FOUND THAT NO OTHER APP LIKE THIS SEEMS TO EXIST.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS APP IS TO HELP INTROVERTS WITH THEIR SOCIAL ANXIETY AND STRESS. ALTHOUGH AN INTROVERT WOULD RATHER BE IN THE COMFORT OF THEIR HOME, THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE SOME EVENTS THAT THEY JUST CAN'T MISS OUT. HOWEVER, THEIR 'SOCIAL METER' MAY NOT BE AS WILLING. ENTER INTROGO, AN APP THAT HELPS CREATE NOTIFICATIONS THAT WOULD REQUIRE YOU TO LEAVE THE EVENT.
THE APP IS CREATED IN A WAY THAT LETS YOU PICK YOUR NOTIFICATION, THE TIME, THE NOTIFICATION TYPE, AND WHO THE SENDER IS. THE APP IS THERE TO LET YOU EXPLORE AND LEARN TO BE SOCIAL, WHILE ALSO BEING ABLE TO CREATE AN EXCUSE FOR YOUR EARLY DEPARTURE.
