✨ Movement Design
The app's movement design centers around delivering news quickly. Breaking news alerts are the primary movement element, designed to draw users into the app at critical moments. Category navigation provides a secondary, more structured path for users seeking specific information.
Breaking News Alerts
These alerts act as immediate entry points, bypassing the app's main structure and taking users directly to developing stories. They are the most dynamic aspect of the app's movement design.
💫 Seamless Paths
Creating seamless paths involves minimizing friction in navigating the app. A clear and intuitive category structure is crucial. The search functionality enables users to bypass the defined paths and jump directly to content of interest, making it a critical component of a seamless experience.
