PROTOTYPE OVERVIEW
Medium-Fi Prototype: Tools PROS - All 4 team members could edit simultaneously - Make changes to all duplicated components by a single change to the master component - free for students! CONS - Difficult to track and manage changes made F I G M A - It was confusing to find certain iPhone app extensions
Medium-Fi Prototype: Limitations/Tradeoffs - Single, predetermined flow: users would not be able to go through the app freely - Incomplete user creation/customization: we wanted the prototype to focus on the tasks we chose, so we left out the features like editing settings. - Incomplete review writing mechanism: we figured it would be more straightforward to demonstrate the overall page and general mechanism - Imperfect aesthetic design: we focused on getting the app to function properly through all our tasks
Medium-Fi Prototype: Wizard-of-Oz/Hard-code Hard-coded user profile page Pre-decided chosen resource Pre-written reviews due to due to non-existent user base types in home page non-existent user base
