Introduction:

Today, people love short, quick content. Platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts have made it easy to watch videos that give information fast. Many prefer these short-form platforms over traditional news sources, which are often long and detailed. This shift has caused many to stop reading newspapers, both offline and online. As a result, people aren’t getting the full story and are sometimes misled by incomplete information. News companies want to provide in-depth, accurate news, but readers are skipping longer articles. If an article is too long, many just move on to something shorter.

The Problem:

Because people now prefer short content, it’s a challenge for news outlets to keep readers engaged with detailed news stories. Readers want fast, easy-to-read summaries, but this often means they miss important details. This trend can lead to incomplete understanding or even misinformation. The challenge for news companies is to find a way to make their news quick and easy to read while still providing important information.

The Solution:

To address this issue, I designed ShortsPaper, a news platform designed for today’s fast-paced readers. Inspired by the short-form content on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts, the goal of ShortsPaper is to provide important news in short, easily digestible pieces.

How It Works:

ShortsPaper gives users the latest news headlines and a brief description right on the homepage. With each swipe or scroll, new headlines appear, keeping users up-to-date in just a few seconds. The design makes news more engaging and accessible by mirroring the short-form experience people are used to. This way, users can quickly get the news they need without feeling overwhelmed.

Key Features:

1. Scrolling News Feed: Users can scroll through headlines, each with a short description, making news easy to digest.

2. Quick Updates: Every time you scroll, new stories pop up, ensuring users always see the latest news.

3. Simple Design: The app has a clean, easy-to-navigate design, helping users focus on the news without distractions.

4. More Details Option: For users who want to dive deeper, each story has a link to the full article.

5. Customized News: Users can choose which types of news they want to see, whether it’s sports, politics, or technology.

6. Personalized News Recommendations: When users log in, the app will start recommending the most relevant news updates based on their preferences. These updates will appear after a certain amount of time, ensuring they get content that matters to them.

Impact:

ShortsPaper simplifies news consumption for today’s readers by providing important information quickly and efficiently. It bridges the gap between the demand for short content and the need for accurate, complete news. The app’s minimalist design and short-form format make staying informed easy and enjoyable.
