Presentation
summary
Design team builds and tests three prototypes — “Normal,” a Windows-like minimized bar; “Taps,” a scalable palette; and a radical layout — producing about 50–100 screens and motion studies to prove interactions. Engineering reveals a blocking Windows clipboard dependency that takes two years to fix, so an inline clipboard workaround and hero-action placements are implemented instead. User testing drives choices (reading/print toggle, undo access); final ship shows platform-specific divergences across Windows Phone, Android, and iOS rather than a single unified UI.
