In this project, we delve into the pervasive influence of social media on daily life, emphasising the impact of discussions and comments on people. Recognising the limitations of the hierarchical list view adopted by many platforms, which often give a limited view of comments, we introduce KANDINSKY Mobile, an end-to-end visualisation system inspired by Wassily Kandinsky’s art. One of the most common issues faced by users in previous surveys was lag. Therefore, our objective in this project is to enhance and optimise KANDINSKY Mobile’s current implementation, aligning it with a new abstraction model while ensuring that existing features remain preserved. By enhancing the functionality and performance of KANDINSKY Mobile, we aim to contribute to information accessibility in the digital age by providing users with a system that satisfies them and motivates them to continue using the system.
