Profile part 5: Followers and following

In this article you will learn how to think about the users’ followers screens and what are the best practices for managing them.

General description

Just like in Instagram, Fans United allows users to follow each other. The followers and following list of users can be seen in a separate screen. Users can take actions from there.

The following stories are written from the perspective of user seeing & managing their own profile.

User stories

As a user, I want to be able to see my followers

Acceptance criteria:

  • Infinite scroll with followers. 10 users are being loaded each time
  • Each user in the list has a name, an avatar, tier & points
  • Each user can be followed by clicking a button next to their name.
    • If any user in the list is already being followed, they are being marked as “Following“
    • When hovered on “Following“, the button turns to “Unfollow“ allowing the user to unfollow from that screen
    • Optional confirmation should be required when clicking Unfollow
