​
At Remotly, we connect remote workers to available home workspace within their locals.
Context
This was an intensive two weeks Hackathon participated by the Group Three Hackathon exercise group on connecting remote workers.
Problem statement
How might we provide adequate facilities for remote workers whose productivity are hindered due to unstable power supply in Nigeria.
Solution
Remotly is a mobile application that connects remote workers together and allows them to rent out their home workspaces to save time when searching for workspace, grow side income while sharing and save money when working remotely.
Empathizing
Our first meeting was quite interesting as we got to know ourselves more and our different skill set and what each person was bringing to the table. we spent few hours ideating, coming up with products name as well as brainstorming on interview questions. This gave us a clear direction that we were making progress. we concluded with interview questions for our users and the next day we interviewed 6 remote workers. I conducted two interviews with remote workers virtually and the rest of the team did same, and this helped us to better understand the pain points remote workers face.
Defining the problem
We transcribed the interview and grouped similar challenges remote workers faced that hindered their productivity. our research focused solely on responses gotten and we drew out the problem statement.

The pitch day was set for the 13th of January, 2022 where we pitched our ideas to the judges of different industry experts. My team and I presented our findings and prototype to the judges, the coaches and the rest of the fellows. please find attached the link to the presentation HERE
Design features
As we continue to brainstorm, we had specific features we wanted our App to have for a seamless user experience such as determining current location, ease of use, exploring nearby workspaces etc. These helped us to build a prototype of key features we wanted on the App.
Very innovative idea. quite convincing rationale as to why the solution will work. strongly considers user experience, and design.
