    • Swimmers, like everyone else, don't want to waste time reading a bad book. 
    • Finding books related to swimming and its culture may also be difficult. 
    • Swimmers have a lot of time to read at swim meets, maybe they go through books faster than other people and need suggestions for new, high quality books to read during their downtime.]]> 2020-04-09 22:11:28 UTC https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501340820 Understanding the Problem thomasolson14 https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501344121 2020-04-09 22:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501344121 What information does this detailed view need to display? thomasolson14 https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501345181 Basic info about the book being viewed

Some way to tell if the book is a good match for the user
A way to Save the book if the user wants to read it in the future.
A way to immediately start reading the book]]> 2020-04-09 22:17:38 UTC https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501345181 Brainstorming A Solution thomasolson14 https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501345410 2020-04-09 22:17:58 UTC https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501345410 Basic Info thomasolson14 https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501371413 Feel like this information should be displayed in a very conventional and easy to digest way. 
Should primarily show the cover, as it is usually eye catching and has much of the information a reader needs on it already.
Book name in an easy to read way
Author's name somewhere also easily readable
Description should take up some of the screen but not too much. Feel like this element should be expandable]]> 2020-04-09 22:59:05 UTC https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501371413 Features to show if you should read the book. thomasolson14 https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501373280 Reviews are a really good way to tell if a book is good. 
Overall rating out of 5 stars is not a bad way to do it
Could combine reviews with some sort of social aspect, like showing what your friends rated it.
In depth comments about the book might provide the most information, but also can take up a lot of visual space and take time to read
Could compare the book to other books the app knows you've read/liked
Could use some sort of recommendation system like Netflix's % match]]> 2020-04-09 23:02:32 UTC https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501373280 Ways to Save the book for later or buy it thomasolson14 https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501377460 Side by side buttons

Could use tinder like swiping convention.]]> 2020-04-09 23:09:38 UTC https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501377460 thomasolson14 https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501398073 2020-04-09 23:44:52 UTC https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501398073 thomasolson14 https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501398395 2020-04-09 23:45:29 UTC https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501398395 thomasolson14 https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501398641 2020-04-09 23:45:59 UTC https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501398641 thomasolson14 https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501398931 2020-04-09 23:46:34 UTC https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501398931 thomasolson14 https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501399152 2020-04-09 23:46:59 UTC https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501399152 thomasolson14 https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501400740 2020-04-09 23:48:43 UTC https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501400740 thomasolson14 https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501401074 2020-04-09 23:49:23 UTC https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501401074 thomasolson14 https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501401380 2020-04-09 23:49:51 UTC https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501401380 Final Version thomasolson14 https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501411714 2020-04-10 00:10:06 UTC https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501411714 Evaluating the Solution thomasolson14 https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501412992 2020-04-10 00:12:39 UTC https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501412992 How does the design solve the users needs thomasolson14 https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501413685 The design allows the user to quickly understand what the book is about, and whether or not they want to read it, which is the prime objective of the detail view.

Specifically the % match feature and the comparison to another book they already like should be very helpful with this.

Also the swiping feature should make it very easy to browse through a bunch of books quickly.

Overall I think this app would do a very good job at helping a swimmer find something new to read while they're waiting for their next race to start.]]> 2020-04-10 00:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501413685 What can be improved on in this design thomasolson14 https://padlet.com/thomasolson14/ee60hsxdf94mzao8/wish/501417809 I think the social aspect was a good idea in brainstorming, but needs to be more fully realized.  I think the detail view wasn't the best place for it at this time.
