Roast my app's design prototype 🐣

Hi there! I'm a front-end web developer currently working on designing my own apps.

Name My Baby is a simple and intuitive app that helps parents find the perfect name for their baby. You can explore names from our extensive database or gather suggestions from friends and family. They can even help you narrow down your list by voting on their favorite names.

I've created a design prototype for the app in Figma, using the Nuxt UI component library to help streamline the design process. You can check it out here: Figma Design - Name my Baby.

Please feel free to be as honest and direct as possible with your feedback. I’m open to any suggestions that will help improve the design. Your insights are invaluable to me!

Thank you!


Thanks for sharing! Some general feedback from me:

  • I would start the app with a set of onboarding screens that the user swipes through that explains what the app does and how it provides value
  • Currently you jump straight in to login/register, which will reduce % of users creating an account
  • Given this is a prototype, my main piece of feedback is that the MVP is too large, I'd reduce this down in terms of functionality, and see if you could test if this idea is "sticky" via a website first, which would be far quicker to build
  • The Tinder style name suggestions is a cool idea, I'd personally explore that further, and make that the core of the experience, then think about expanding to voting deadlines, inviting friends etc when/if customers feedback

Hey @revcd πŸ˜ƒ awesome feedback, thank you for taking the time to write this.

The onboarding screens are a great idea. That will probably be next in my to do list.

For the scope of the MVP, I also agree but because I need those features for my friends & family to help me choose my future baby's name I'll still go through it πŸ˜„ In my last job this would have easily fit in 2 to 3 sprints max and I was the only front-end developer πŸ˜… So I'm curious to see how I'll manage.

YES! I found the Tinder style name voting pretty cool when I checked other baby naming apps and it was the first thing I took note of.
