T-Chat

The goal for the desktop chat app design is to bring efficiency and warmth to work chat from the following angles:

1) Effective message alerts

2) Simple chat history search

3) Rapport building among colleagues by sending virtual bubble teas

4) Fast screen recording

‍

Individual Chat Design

‍

- Designing for four scenarios for message alerts

1. I send to others and the message is unread - Show "Me" in the preview, and mark "Unread"
2. I send to others and the message is read - Show "Me" in the preview, and mark "Read"
3. Others send to me and the message is unread - Show number of unread messages, and type of message
4. Others send to me and the message is read - Show nothing

‍

‍

- Send your colleagues bubble teas for acknowledging their help and showing rapport

- Mark unread message to remind yourself to read in the future

- Star messages for easier search in the future

- Drag and drop to send files

‍

‍

- Take screenshot and record our screen with 1 click

‍

‍

- Group chat

1. Add new members to the group chat
2. @ members in the chat
3. Respond to specific message
4. Profiles for members in the group chat
