Challenge:
We spend around 4 hours on our phones every day and notifications play a big part in our continued use. We have multiple apps installed that constantly try to communicate with us in a form of a notification and processing all that information can be quite overwhelming.
Design a better notification experience for your favorite mobile platform (iOS, Android,etc).
Voting Poll: Due to no submissions there will be no voting.
Event Details:
The designathon theme will be announced at (or before) 12:00 PM on April 7, 2018 on this thread.
Design a prototype (through Sketch, InVision, Adobe XD, or another prototyping tool) as a team or individual. A working application (or site) is not required.
Your submission must be in before 8:00 PM on April 7, 2018.
The winner(s) will be decided via online voting by the IxDF San Diego community.
The winner(s) will receive bragging rights and envy from their peers!
The goals of the designathon are to have fun while designing a solution to a problem.
Submission Requirements:
The first screen of the prototype must contain your full name, a photo, and link to your IxDF Certification of Membership (the link can be found on your IxDF profile page).
A recording and narrative about your solution as you demonstrate your prototype (video or screen recording are fine). Upload the video to YouTube and copy the link to your submission.
Optional: A link to your prototype.
The submission must come in the form of a comment on this thread.

Get those pencils sharpened, your markers full of ink, make sure your post-it notes are sticky, and your laptop’s battery is charged to 100% because we are 1 hour away until the challenge is announced!
*Coffee, energy drinks, and other mind enhancing substances optional.
Is there a place? Or is this just happening online? Also... a bit confused about this:
"The first screen of the prototype must contain your full name, a photo, and link to your IDF Certification of Membership (the link can be found on your IDF profile page)."
Do they mean the screen of an app or website requires this information? If so, that seems pretty odd ?
Yup, just online for the first one. If people like it I can try making it an in-person event in the future.
Yeah, I can see that wording being confusing. The first “page” or “screen” of the prototype recording should have your full name, your profile photo, and a link to your IDF membership page. This is to showcase you as the designer and ensure that when it comes to voting the right person gets selected. I like to think of it as a cover page.

Questions? We've Got Answers
What is an IxDF Local Group and why should I join one?
An IxDF Local Group is a meeting point for people with a passion for design in your city.
You don't need to be a designer, just passionate about great design and how it can improve your work and career.
Meetups are the heartbeat of IxDF Local Groups, whether we meet at a café, a creative space or a local company. There's nothing quite like the magic of meeting face-to-face to share ideas and inspiration.
We also host regular IxDF Design Dinners, where we enjoy great food and help each other learn and grow. Even a simple coffee meetup in a café can ignite collaborations and friendships that last a lifetime.
You'll also have a private and exclusive online forum where you can openly get help and career advice.
Simply put, we learn together and smile together.
You'll expand your career network, discover new skills, explore job opportunities, meet potential clients, or even find your next dedicated team member when you join an xDF Local Group.
Remember: Your network is your net worth.
