FireFan mobile app
I designed smooth UI elements that were intuitive, responsive and drove user engagement for live sports app FireFan. I also implemented my UI designs in HTML/CSS using HAML markup language while also connecting functionality with existing Ruby code.
FireFan was a sports app where users would make realtime predictions on live sporting events.
Using an API that fed the app with realtime stats the interactions were frequent and we were constantly balancing how to keep players engaged while not distracting them from actually watching the sporting event itself. The app was meant to enhance the overall team experience but not distract from it.
To do this the players made their predictions only at slower game moments like pre-game, end of quarters and half-times with spontaneous on-the-fly picks only being offered for time-outs or penalties.
