Leading Question Concept (G6, UX/UI idea) #139

Open akshatpradhan opened 11 years ago

akshatpradhan commented 11 years ago

Idea: concept of having a leading question that’s dispersed to everyone on the public feed. When a user logs in, he/she can see a question like “How are you getting along with your family?” or “How do you feel about your romantic life?” This can act as a leading question that can focus journal entries & additionally could focus the community of users around a specific topic. Users can always write what they want in their journal, but this adds a direction/path if a user chooses to follow it. These questions would function similarly to leading questions asked by a therapist. They could uproot certain feelings that a patient might have about particular things, but that they are not actively thinking about.

Just adding this in case you had additional comments on the idea or in case we have more to add in the future.

Brainstorming how it might work:

  1. One of the boxes in the visual board could be a leading question. A user could click on it & it filters the feed to entries only answering this question.
  2. Or, a user could click on it & they are prompted to answer the question. After they answer, they can click a link that shows a feed only of entries that answer this question.
  3. Or, the box shows the question (which is always highlighted in the same color & is always in the same location on the page [perhaps the 3rd box in the row if we use that dabble.it UI]), a link to click to get a feed that only shows entries that answer this question, and also a link to click to make an entry answering the question.

I like the Leading Question Concept a lot. As a simple solution, if @billiedemott can provide 2-5 questions (as well thought out as her selection of happiness, anxiety, irritation), then I can randomize them on the Log an Entry page like so.

@akshatpradhan - I'll come up with some questions! Btw, I'm taking a front-end class, so we'll have a more well-rounded team. Wanna build a landing page that's simple like this: http://www.spelltower.com/
