Mobile v2: Channel Files view

Summary: In the webapp, we have a way to view files posted in a channel. However, the mobile app does not currently have any way to do this. Users expect to see parity between webapp and mobile with features like this, so we need to add this to the channel experience on mobile. The proposed solution is to:

  • Add a ‘Files’ option to the channel info modal

  • Tapping this new ‘Files’ option would take users to a child view of the channel info that shows files in the channel.

  • Leverage the patterns used currently in the global search view with files

  • Show files by recency (most recent files posted in the channel)

  • Infinitely load more files on scroll

Stage: 80% draft

Design Peer Reviews

Why peer reviews?

The concept of peer reviews is not new—developers have been doing it for ages. The reasons we want to experiment with including peer reviews in our process are as follows:

  • To ensure cohesive design across our platform

  • To provide support to backup other designer’s decisions so it doesn’t all fall on one designer’s shoulders.

  • To encourge collaboration and knowledge sharing

  • To enhance the overall quality of the design outcomes

How does it work?

When a design solution is close to complete (> 80% draft), we can request a review by another design team member by following these steps:

  • Record a loom walkthrough of your solution or prototype and share for asynchronous feedback in the Design Team channel tagging the peer you wish to review your work. Include the following in your message:

    • Summary of the project and solution

    • Any specifics you particularly want feedback on

    • Link to Figma file

    • Link to prototype (if applicable)

  • The reviewer should provide feedback within a 48hr window.

The intent of the peer review is to have another trained designer do a detailed review of their peer’s work to identify:

  • UI inconsistencies

  • Correct component usage

  • File hygiene issues

Who can I ask for a peer review?

The following designers are well-established in our design system and our product and can provide support in peer reviews:

  • Matt Birtch

  • Asaad Mahmood

  • Abhijit Singh

  • Anneliese Klein

  • Michael Gamble

Be careful not to ask the same peer every time to prevent bottlenecks with one of the peers.

What a peer review is not

This is not the right time to derail a solution. When a design solution gets this close to completion, we don’t introduce the peer review process to stall it. This stil
