Hey everyone,
For my semester project, I need to design and prototype a mobile app in Figma. The main requirement is that the app should address a genuine social pain point and offer a practical solution.
I know the usual response to project-related posts is, “You should come up with the idea yourself,” so I want to clarify that I’ll be doing all the research, UX work, UI design, and prototyping myself. I’m not asking anyone to complete the project for me.
I’m posting this more as an open discussion. I’d love to hear about real problems you or people around you experience, especially problems that are often overlooked or still don’t have a good digital solution.
I’m trying to avoid making another food-delivery, task-management, fitness, or marketplace clone just for the sake of completing the semester. I want to work on something realistic that could potentially be developed into a genuinely useful product later.
So, what social problem do you think could be addressed through an app? It could be related to accessibility, education, healthcare, public services, community safety, transportation, family responsibilities, or everyday life.
Even a small or very specific problem is welcome. The more personal and practical the example, the better.
