Redesigning Goodreads, the world’s largest online community for book lovers.
UI Design
1 week
The Goodreads mobile experience has been a longstanding turnoff for users, with clunky navigation, hidden features, and an unengaging interface making it frustrating to use.
Through surveys and research, I analyzed key pain points, identified features users wished the app had, and found areas for improvement with the visual design. I also wanted to hone in on improving the social aspect, ensuring that profiles, interactions, and community features felt more central to the overall experience.
DESIGN GOALS
The improved home feed acts as a central hub: a cozy space that makes users want to stay a little longer.
A clean, refined UI that leaves the focus on the book. Everything is simple to find.
Introducing a matchmaking feature to help users find their next favorite book.
