Ushahidi Nairobi Design Jam

Join Ushahidi's Design Jam

Many of the most popular services on the web offer powerful content management and customization tools that remain intuitive to both experienced and first-time users.

How are they able to pack so much utility into a user interface that anyone can use?

One striking design approach in services like Facebook, Twitter and GitHub is to minimize the abstraction between the display of content and the tools for managing it. While the Ushahidi platform separates the display of public content and administrators’ tools into two different user interfaces, Facebook has almost entirely merged the two.

To make Ushahidi accessible to more people, and more intuitive to those who use it today, it’s important that its community explore modern design approaches to the way people interact with it. More Details about the Jam plans.
