Over the past few months, two groups of international design students from TU Delft have taken a critical look at Blybahn. How does the app work, what feels logical and where do people drop off? It gave us some wonderful insights.
It was a project of a few months, ending with a final presentation that had us listening open-mouthed. Students look without our blind spots, and it shows. A number of their conclusions are going straight into the next versions of the app.
It fits how we build Blybahn: think, build, measure and adjust. And we want to know much more about what works and what doesn't. That's why we're talking to other universities that want to use Blybahn as a living lab: a real app with real users, where researchers can measure the effects of design choices in social media. We're happy to be part of that.
