Nupur's message: "hey! just saw this message. i looked through it - definitely in for simplifications. Few things off the top of my head, can look in detail tomorrow: (1) not sure if Sign in w Google will always fly (esp in India where people are still on yahoo and hotmail); (2) I think we need to ask people for both email address and phone number. Email so that we can write them to say "check your webapp". Similarly we need to have a contact number for them to reach us cos we don't want loans to get held up cos people have queries (3) I was thinking every notification gets posted in one place so they have a nice timestamped history of everything (and was under the impressive it may be easier from a dev point of view cos it felt like updating a blog :stuck_out_tongue: but if flows are easy enough that's fine too (4) i had left comments on some of the slides in powerpoint; did you check them out? That was to accommodate for negative cases and conditions. Hope the simplified flows will work for those situations as well"

(1) not sure if Sign in w Google will always fly (esp in India where people are still on yahoo and hotmail);

Actually, we have email sign in as well (Modified the mock). On a side note, I think everyone has an android phone in India, which needs a google account.

(2) I think we need to ask people for both email address and phone number. Email so that we can write them to say "check your webapp". Similarly we need to have a contact number for them to reach us cos we don't want loans to get held up cos people have queries

Yes, phone number is necessary as Slide 2 shows

(3) I was thinking every notification gets posted in one place so they have a nice timestamped history of everything (and was under the impressive it may be easier from a dev point of view cos it felt like updating a blog 😛 but if flows are easy enough that's fine too

I am taking cues from modern apps. Given our full-of-distractions world, notifications UX pattern is giving way to more "if its important show me right there" world. Specifically, I am taking cues from finance apps like dharma.io, coinbase, etc. They don't have notifications drawer. I'll post some screenshots here.

(4) i had left comments on some of the slides in powerpoint; did you check them out? That was to accommodate for negative cases and conditions. Hope the simplified flows will work for those situations as well"

Yes, as far as I saw, the simplified flow should work well.

cool! yea i am happy to avoid a Notifications thing as long as it doesn't mean more complications for us mid-loan in sending information to people (much more of a workload decision than a user experience decision for me). So happy to take your approach on this. I meant phone number for them to reach us (reference last slide). So like an Arboreum helpline -> this will be necessary in initial days as we expect people will have questions/ fear the technology -> something FInancePeer told us we absolutely will need

Will take a crack at Lender front end

Robinhood's UI is a good inspiration as well:

@miapenningway I think the lender UI needs to be simplified.

@gsVAM I thought these distinctions between investment were only for optimization purposes and not from the UI point of view?
