The document describes the design process for an app to help roommates delegate chores. It discusses observing roommates and identifying a need to share tasks. Interviews found tasks like cleaning and shopping were issues. The draft app equally distributes chores and allows sharing schedules and updates. Ideation explored a feed and calendar. Research on existing apps informed the design of sections for messaging, scheduling chores, and tracking chore points. Wireframes and visuals were created for an app called Taskwave.
