Problem definition

Moving between experiences weakens the meaning and usability of accumulated progression, status, organization and utility.

View all bottlenecks

Design direction

Distinguish existing states as persistent, recognized, local-only or available for a next action, connecting voluntary routes through a removable, non-transactional surface.
