Coming up soon: "Fetch another quote", tinder style
A new mobile-friendlier version is coming up...
OK, let’s start with some transparency : I am single at the moment, and I ‘m longing for someone to give love to. I have so much love and joy to give at the moment, it sorts of hurts not to have a special someone… So I’m spending a few minutes every day on Tinder, where, of course, I swipe left (a lot) and right (sometimes)… Either way, the interface brings you another “random” stranger to assess.
The other day, my beautiful 13 year old daughter was making a point, and I had the perfect quote to share with her on that topic. So I opened up That’s The Spirit! on my smartphone, found the quote and showed it to her. I then felt like seeing another one, so I … swiped right. My brain associated “get a new quote” goal to the “swipe right” gesture. I like the idea to mix the language of Tinder to the much more spiritual world of TTS. Nice contrast, let’s see now how the resulting UX performs.
I have a couple of weeks of holidays now, so I’m going to make a specific mobile-friendly version of TTS! in which we’ll be able to swipe left or right, and also use native share prompts, much more handy and efficient on smartphones than custom made ones. I’ll be using the Web Share API to do that.
