Context and Problem Statement

What supplementary features might differentiate our website from others?

Considered Options

  • Calm mode
  • No calm mode

Decision Outcome

Chosen option: Calm mode refers to the ability to toggle whether or not the tab bar displays the timer in real-time or rounded time. For example, a tab bar that displayed 1:40 with calm mode off would display 2:00 with calm mode on. This feature was accepted to accommodate individuals who appreciate the informative indicator on the tab bar, but find the constant change of a real-time timer to be distracting.

Pros and Cons of the Options

Calm mode

  • Pros: Allows for customization to accommodate individuals who find the constant change of a real-time timer to be distracting
  • Cons: Could be seen as unnecessary as some users might not even notice that the tab bar has a timer
