I’ve been working on better algorithm controls on Instagram for the past year+ and am really excited to start to see these moments come together across the app.

Lots more to do, but making tons of progress towards a world where people can control their experience in real time :)

had a blast bringing this to life for the end of the year :)

(but even more excited to see my dog Winnie make her first appearance in a launch post 🫶)

Make a collage in Stories to celebrate the end of 2024 🥳

[Josh Nelson @jnelly2]

we made this to make it easier to hype up your friends when they share Stories — took tons of prototypes to get here, pretty proud of this one :)

Oh hi, now you can leave comments on Stories to show your besties some love 💖

@ashugeo Thank you I really appreciate it :D

What if you could have smart widgets for your friends?

@skdjf345 @FacebookOrigami!

[Josh Nelson @jnelly2]

this was inspired bc I love using the App Library but hate having to swipe thru multiple pages to get there

[Josh Nelson @jnelly2]

Played around with an idea for how the App Library could live in the dock

[Josh Nelson @jnelly2]

@itsjackcohen Shortcuts are a hidden gem, had no clue this was a thing!

[Josh Nelson @jnelly2]

Wishing you could add friends to your tab bar

[Josh Nelson @jnelly2]

@hrolnd Hahah you’re right it’s definitely the dock

[Josh Nelson @jnelly2]

@jayhxmo @FacebookOrigami the pop-switch patch actually handles the swipe interaction. I set a "Swipe X" and a "Swipe Y" interaction on every photo, and then set a start X and Y value for each axis.

I only use the option pickers so I can manipulate each photos location post-swipe

[Josh Nelson @jnelly2]

What if you could just flick photos to whoever is close by?

[Josh Nelson @jnelly2]

@jayhxmo @FacebookOrigami ! But specifically, pop switch patches creating the x + y swipe for each photo and a lot of option pickers to control where they end up

[Josh Nelson @jnelly2]

inspired by @_bgian's social profiles, wanted to play around with how they might be discoverable

What if things were a lil more social on iOS?

[Josh Nelson @jnelly2]

airdrop, but for discovering people around you
