What’s the

App About?

A cross-platform (mobile + desktop) tool that unifies Announcements, Tasks, and a Calendar into one workspace. It helps community teams broadcast time-bound updates, plan events with resources, and execute work with clear priority and deadlines.

The Case

The Problem

In many organizations and communities, announcements, tasks, and events are often scattered across different tools. This fragmentation leads to miscommunication, missed deadlines, and reduced productivity. Users struggle to keep track of updates, while managers lack clear visibility into responsibilities and progress.

The Solution

A single system where:

  • Announcements carry urgency/status, locations, and durations.

  • Tasks are prioritized, assigned, and tracked with clear due dates.

  • Calendar consolidates events (with weather and resources) and links back to tasks/announcements.

Mobile is optimized for fast capture and triage; desktop adds a tri-pane view (Announcements | Calendar | Tasks) for command-center oversight.

Key Features

  • Announcements with Urgency & Status Labels (e.g., URGENT, NOW, SOON) for clear prioritization.

  • Date & Location Metadata on Cards to instantly show relevance and context.

  • Quick Actions on Announcements (acknowledge 👍, mute 👁‍🗨, edit ⋮).

  • Task Prioritization (P1–P3) & Deadline Chips with overdue and updated indicators.

  • Assignee Avatars & Watchers for accountability and team visibility.

  • Calendar with Weather Integration to support planning for outdoor-sensitive events.

  • Smart Event Creation with date range, recurrence, and “Suggest Date & Time” functionality.

  • Resource & Room Booking built into event scheduling to prevent conflicts.

  • Cross-Platform Consistency: FAB for quick creation, chips/tags for status, unified design system.

  • Desktop Command View: Tri-pane layout combining Announcements, Calendar, and Tasks for oversight.

My Role

Led UX from discovery to delivery; mapped IA across Announcements/Tasks/Calendar.

  1. Created flows and high-fidelity prototypes for Create Announcement, Create Task, Create Event, and Week View.

  2. Built a tokenized design system (chips, pills, icons, FAB, cards) to align mobile & web.

  3. Partnered with PM/Eng on data models, permission states, and performance (virtualized lists, skeleton loads).
