In the 72nd episode of Demystifying Design, I'll be redesigning fearworld.com, the website for one of the worlds best haunted houses!
The goals of this redesign were to make it easier for users to:
1. Meet new friends on the internet.
2. Chat with them.
3. Share my webcam footage
4. Skip to the next person when I’m done.
5. Report users that are behaving inappropriately.
6. Change my language settings.
This entire redesign took me about 2 hours to complete (over 1 day). Hope you enjoy!

Hi Marc!
Quite a nice redesign.!
> The history panel definitely looks similar to ChatGPT's interface.
> I think you missed login/signup functions and how many people are live now.
> Maybe a banner ad section for the webpage to monetize 😅
Would love to see an Instagram redesign!
Instagram is on the list!
You're so talented!
I feel that they have been so lazy and stuck in 2009 about those concerns.
Haha thank you. Yeah it was a dated UI but hey it seemed to work for them for so long!
cool idea! love the modern feel although I don't think this would've really saved Omegle. the proponents of its downfall would've found another way to complain regardless. with respect to your design, I do think that the extra layer of "protection' erodes a bit of the charm that Omegle was known for all along. while yes, the chat was center stage, video was the real draw. the instant effect of seeing someone's video or having someone see your video acted a bit as a fun surprise and without the ability to opt-out of video, users are pressured into exercising those valuable social skills. this of course comes with its risks and as we all know, bad actors abused it and the ultimately the outrage mob devoured yet another victim. great video!
Thank you! Yeah, there's no fun allowed on the Internet anymore. Everyone always finds something to complain about. 😅
And I agree, a big part of the draw of Omegle was that you'd get swooped directly into a convo with a stranger. Chopping that part off will have real ramifications for the service. Sacrifices had to be made to try to do *something* different in this redesign.
I love your sterilization! Definitely feels modern
Hahaha yep, sapped the personality right out of it 😅
why I only find your channel now, you even give the figma file. it's truly a hidden gem for beginners
Glad you're enjoying the content 🙏
@@DemystifyingDesign do you have figma file for your mobile design? I've watched some of your mobile design videos but you didn't give the figma link
Sure do! Which one would you like to see?
@@DemystifyingDesignwait, the figma file in the description is for netherworld
Ah yes, will swap that out when I get back to the office today
Beautiful redesign! Love it! 👌
Thank you 🙏
Another striking visual overhaul, as I've come to expect from you, great job! Keeping a log of all your sessions and the ability to retroactively report people is absolutely necessary, and quite frankly I'm baffled that wasn't a feature on the site. Same goes for the mute and camera off buttons. But I do have some points of criticism:
- I don't think publicly exposing peoples' IPs is a good idea and carries a *ton* of privacy concerns with it (logging them on the backend and displaying a rough location is fine of course).
- Using the spacebar to skip to the next room is a bad choice in my opinion, cause you use the spacebar constantly when typing and it's easy to hit it by accident. This could result in someone accidentally skipping when they forgot to click on the text field or are just a little clumsy. Sticking with the familiar Escape button for that function would have been the better choice I think.
Very fair points yeah, spacebar is totally a bad choice if you're typing lol. Complete oversight from me!
Regarding the IP exposure, yeah I'm not sure about that. I believe you already had access to your partners IP as it was a P2P architecture....but I guess you had to at least do some digging to get it before. Perhaps just the city name and state...
Amazing
😎😎
Love your re-designs, can you do MSN Messager next?
Whoa! That's still around!?
@@DemystifyingDesign Microsoft bought Skype for $8.5 billion and replaced it with that
Big big fan you're sir love from Pakistan ❤
Oh wow thank you ❤️
RIP Omegle 🙏
haha that history view looks familiar 😏
😁😁 if it ain't broke...
