i’m finding myself continuing to obsess over this idea of screen space and the interruptions that i endure as a user of things, this time with snapchat. i can’t say whether or not the app was actually capable of being aware that i was looking at my phone for the first time that day (my alarm had just gone off, i grabbed by phone and turned it off, saw the notification and took a screenshot). i was sleepy and not completely coherent so i’m having a hard time remembering how/why the interface looked the way it does, with the app zoomed out and the notification at the bottom? it’s like when you double-tap home to quit apps, but i haven’t been able to recreate or repeat the scenario exactly. i don’t really use snapchat that much these days, and now that they’ve changed the main screen to include stories it feels worse — too needy? desperate? inconsequential?. update: deleted snapchat from my phone
