•  tawkon & nascent brainstormed possible implications of tawkon running in the

background

•  Different behaviors interaction styles were considered

•  New platform, new questions:

Schematic designs were refined based on iPhone’s to accommodate

background running, notifications, Android guidelines best

practicesSpecial care was given to being ‘good citizen’ on Android,

as well as using native controls UI elements where possible.
