Asset tab will help users maintain their documents and links
05. Lo-Fi Prototype:
At first, users had to create an account before they can start using the app; however, we then discovered users prefer to skip to the home page.
We implemented a wave design to represent a nature, and water feel.
Users should feel they're on a journey to cross the finish line. In addition, our mission is to make users feel calm and relax.
