What I've accomplished

I produced a detailed end-to-end BeReal user-journey map that identified five stages, documented user actions, thoughts, and feelings at each stage, and highlighted specific pain points such as the 2-minute timer pressure and drop-off at posting.

Project breakdown

I mapped the BeReal user journey from notification to session exit. I listed five stages, described what users did, thought, and felt at each step, and noted pain points like pressure from the 2-minute timer and drop-off at the posting decision.
