Myata Best news collector from Vkontakte
The backstory
The amount of time people spend on social media is constantly increasing. Teens spend up to nine hours a day on social platforms, while 30% of all time spent online is now allocated to social media interaction. And the majority of that time is on mobile - 60% of social media time spent is facilitated by a mobile device. Our client, Dmytrii Udin, bought an app – called Myata. It is a system, that collects most popular posts from the Vkontakte social network and delivers it to final users in different groups of interests, like "cars", "technologies" etc. Unfortunately, the application has had lots of issues in functionalities and UI/UX at that stage.
Dmitrii came to Octodev and asked to evaluate the application code quality, its design and the overall user experience. After the evaluation a decision was made to redo it from scratch with some new features.

What does Myata do?

Mayta is an application, that collects most rated posts from public groups of the Vkontakte social network. It offers users filtering news by categories. Also, Myata is able to save favorite posts from any category. Main features:

  • News from Vkontakte social network
  • No need to authorize
  • No ads and absolutely fee
  • Save favorite posts
  • Only top rated posts
  • Hide post you don’t like
  • 20+ different groups
  • Posts sharing with friends

We faced a number of challenges implementing all these features while keeping the app simple and user-friendly.

Design

Here’s a list of whole app screens

Login & initial setup

Main menu & Favourites

Feed flow

Follow/unfollow groups

Myata app

With Myata users don’t need to create accounts in social network anymore to just view posts. You can search, filter and save favorite posts. All posts are sorted by groups of interests.

When we were developing the Myata app, we wanted to create an atmosphere that would imitate a social network, but with top rated posts only and 100% ads free.
