1. Home feed

  • The opening screen for the app. A scrollable list of the most recent and relevant articles (and possibly videos).

  • Stories with an importance_rating > 3 will be displayed with a featured image -- otherwise just the headline.

  • The stream is endless and will load as you scroll. Pulling down from the top will refresh the feed (like Instagram).

  • Extra: support for playing videos from inside the feed (like Facebook / Instagram).

2. Section feed

  • Similar to the home feed, but filtered by section. Layout will likely be the same, but with the section name at the top instead of the Ubyssey logo.

3. Article page

  • Standard article view used to display written articles.

  • Featured image at the top, followed by the headline, author, and article content.

  • Inline images should include captions and photo credits.

  • Support for inline advertisements.

4. Video page

  • Still not sure if this will be required. Just a simple window that includes a video thumbnail (tap to play), a title for the video, and a brief description.

5. Static page

  • Super simple page for displaying static content. Similar in design to the article page.

6. Photo gallery

  • Not a super high priority feature. Would ideally be very similar to galleries on Facebook where you can swipe left/right between photos.
