TL;DR App Design

UI / UX, Graphic design

TL;DR is a speculative reading product designed in response to the growing fragmentation of attention in the age of short-form content. Positioned as an "intellectual fast food" app, TL;DRead mimics the UX patterns of platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels—delivering long-form literature and complex ideas in swipable, bite-sized pieces.

What begins as a convenience-driven interface soon reveals itself to be a critique: by simulating familiar distraction-based interactions while guiding users through classic texts, the product satirizes the illusion of learning and depth in the age of AI summaries and dopamine loops.
