Designing an improved anonymous chatting experience
Anonn allows you to connect and chat anonymously with anyone around the world. The goal of this project is to craft a space where connections can flourish, unburdened by identities, labels, or societal pressures.

Designing Annon was interesting in so many ways. From the idea to create an anonymous chat App to research and interviews, visualisation, then testing. Anonn is currently under development as a mobile app, and I couldn’t be prouder!
Researching the audience and learning about them
It all started with a chat. My friend texted me that he got an idea for anonymous chatting. Something like 2go but anonymous and trendy.
We then spoke with a couple of friends to get their opinions on the current Anonymous chat offerings and their frustrations. We also reviewed several existing market options lilke NGL, gas App, Kubool, Curious cat
Defining the problem we wanted to solve.
After analyzing the research data, we knew the problem we wanted to solve. “To craft a space where connections could flourish, unburdened by identities, labels, or societal pressures.”

I explored ideas like connecting AI and the Web3 ecosystem. Not a bad idea, it still stands as a future possibility
I visualized the most solid ideas.

We tested with 10 users to get feedback on the overall experience of the product and improve solutions.
Finally, we validated our assumptions with user testing and feedback, which helped us to identify areas for improvement, such as the need for notifications to support continuous conversations. Currently, we are developing a mobile app with a fresher look and more features, so stay tuned for updates!

We launched the Web App on December 30th, 2022, and had 500+ sign-ups.
Like every user-centered product, we prioritise feedback and user satisfaction.
We noticed a loose end: notifications (it is impossible to have continuous chats without getting notifications or reminders).
Hence, the mobile App is in development, with a fresher look and more features.
