Text messages are the most common way of communication. In order to convey the purpose well, one must organize one's thoughts well and write them down. If the content is unclear, it is more difficult to convey the intention to the other party. If misinterpreted, there is an inconvenience of having to explain it over and over again.
Slide is a chat app that provides an efficient communication experience by helping users identify and stay focused on the conversation topic.
Go to case studySubject line design clearly reveals the purpose of the conversation and posting comments as a response to the headline, prevents off-topic conversations.

Deliver a text message using a subject line that shows the purpose of the conversation.

Reminder

Status notification

Message
Is it usable to post and add a comment intuitively as a messaging app?
User posts a message and writes a comment instead of sending a bubble in texting app. It’s a simple solution that I applied the user interface pattern which is used for social media. Because I think it helps user to focus on the topic in a chat and prevent waste time spending with unnecessary messages.

Fixed headline position
Is the screen size of headline enough to read comments when it's fixed?
People are likely to miss the topic of chat while chatting. The number of messages would increase by texting back and forth. Users can set the headline fixed on the screen that users always could read the topic easily in a chat.

User doesn’t need to make a plan or schedule in other calendar or schedule app. Users can save the facts that they’d like to save and memorize using the calendar with this app.

Quick view
Can users notice the buttons that have a haptic touch for a quick view?
I used outline and colored icon for designing the buttons that has a haptic touch to differentiate with CTA button which is designed without outline and filled in color.
