The document describes the design process for an app called Taskwave. It aims to help roommates coordinate tasks and share information. Research involved observing roommates and identifying problems like a lack of chore coordination and excess food. Interviews found tasks like food replenishment and cleaning were issues. The app was envisioned to evenly delegate tasks, share schedules and a feed. Further refinement involved chore points and a shared calendar. The process covered naming, logos, wireframes and screens to showcase coordinated tasks between roommates.
