[demencia-literaria]

Espero que sepas que te mereces lo mejor de todo. Que tengas el amor más honesto, más hermoso y más puro del mundo. No solo ser amado por los demás, sino ser amado por ti mismo para decir: Soy exactamente quien quiero ser. Se Orgulloso de ti mismo. Sé valiente y abierto. Te mereces que las personas más amables y cariñosas entren en tu vida. Te lo mereces todo, lo sabes El mundo entero. Y nunca lo debes olvidar.

Eternizado

Nunca permitas que la soledad te lleve a los brazos de alguien a quien sabes que no perteneces.

Insights & Solutions

#1 - People are lazy

Not everyone is willing to go out of their way to discover new things. If the information isn’t presented to them, they most likely wont find out about it. 

Solution: Create a fun experience for users that users will talk about online and shared by people. Lazy people who wouldn’t discover this experience on their own will now be presented with the info and encouraged to participate. 

#2 - People prefer meaningful connections. (Quality over quantity)

With bots and inappropriate people infiltrating social media apps, people tend to stay to themself and only connect with people they know

Solution: Creating a safe space and allowing people to participate in discussions within a niche community will hopefully allow people to feel more comfortable making meaningful connections with new people. 

 #3 - Social media numbers are not liked and/or discourage users.

Having analytics shown for everyone to see can create competition with one another and creates social statuses that would discourage people from using the app. 

Solution: Remove them all. Having any sort of analytics will also turn peoples profiles into a business and we want people to have fun with the app. There will be numbers for certain things like how many posts someone has, how many playlists a person will like, and how many friends someone has but some of these numbers will only be shown to the owner of the profile in order for them to keep track of their activity on the app.

#4 - People like to involve their friends

When it comes to music, people tend to bond with their friends over music or find new music through them so we need a way to incorporate current friendships into the app since some people will not be using the app to make new friends.

Solution: Invite friends! By inviting friends, you can unlock a listening party feature where you can share playlists you discovered to your friends directly through the app and play them simultaneously with your friends. You can also live chat about the playlist in app. We hope that this would create a more personal experience in the app .
