10 Redesigns Of Everyday Apps

Concept designs for Medium, Facebook and more

As consumers of tech, we are insatiable. Our thirst for slick new app interactions is superseded only by our outrage at less-than-seamless UX. But app users who happen to be designers sometimes take their critiques beyond the Twittersphere, using the power of prototyping to express themselves.

Tools like Framer allow for quick exploration and validation of an alternative flow or idea (even if the goal is just to prove a point). Born of frustration or in homage, reworkings of powerhouse apps like Medium, Facebook and Pokemon Go allow designers to challenge the boundaries of their interface design skills.

From single-screen concepts to full-blown prototypes and step-by-step tutorials, here are 10 unofficial redesigns to spur the imagination:
