Coherent Screens, Consistent Playback
Restructured the UI from a feature-list layout to a context-first flow, and resolved playback state inconsistencies across the lock screen remote control, mini player, and reels.
At this stage, MOMENT was consolidating dispersed features into a unified product flow. A review of the UI revealed that the core issue was not missing functionality but structural: screens presented selectable items as a feature list rather than communicating current context and state.
To address this, short multilingual descriptions were added to library sections so that context is conveyed before the user makes a selection. The display ordering for moments, insts, recommendations, and discovery — previously governed by inconsistent criteria — was unified under a single standard. The focus of these changes was not increasing screen density but ensuring the interface reads as a coherent flow.
On the playback side, a state synchronization issue was resolved. The mini player, reels playback, and lock screen remote control each referenced the same playback session but reflected subtly different states. Track load timing, mount state, and Now Playing metadata were realigned so that any control surface reflects a consistent playback state.
