I’m ready to overhaul our in-app conversations and need an experienced product-focused designer-developer to bring three key improvements to life: 1. User interface redesign • Create a Minimalist and clean layout that feels instantly familiar on web and mobile. • Use a modern design system, clear iconography, and responsive components so every element scales gracefully. 2. Message notification system • Build Customizable notification settings that let users decide which events trigger alerts and how those alerts appear. • Think flexible toggles, granular sound/visual choices, and a preferences panel that’s easy to reach from any thread. 3. Search and filter capabilities • Introduce fast, typo-tolerant search across messages and attachments. • Add intuitive filters (date, user, file type, unread, starred) plus keyboard shortcuts for power users. Deliverables • High-fidelity prototypes (Figma, Sketch, or similar) showing happy-path flows, empty states, and error states. • Component spec sheets and asset exports ready for engineering. • A concise tech handoff document outlining API hooks, real-time update logic, and recommended libraries (e.g., WebSockets, indexed search). • Post-handoff support for one feedback round. Success for me means a polished, lightning-fast messaging experience that feels as seamless as the best consumer chat apps while remaining unmistakably Freelancer. If you’ve shipped real-time communication tools before, I’d love to see your portfolio and hear how you’d tackle these improvements.
