Basic idea of hangzone? #1

Closed aburd closed 4 years ago

aburd commented 4 years ago

This issue is to just shoot the shit on what we think hangzone is conceptually before we ever touch a line of code. The point of this issue to solidify the idea so that we can come up with one or more 'killer features' that we can focus on.

I think at a minimum, there should be like one line that sums it up, and I've tried my best in the readme

An app that enables hangers from all over the world to discover and share zones in which to hang

Does this pretty much sum it up?

@scootyboots @aburd Tagging both of us here so any updates on this issue should be in our github notifications.

Yeah, discover and share zones for hanging pretty much encapsulates the whole idea I'd say.

As for how the app helps facilitate that - I think the way we've conceived of it in the past is something to the effect of dropping a pin on a map, people can see where the pin is and share their location relative to that pin.

@scootyboots So, there would be no established "zones"? Like, you couldn't say just have an option for "zones around me"? Or would you be able to say have a "hangers list" (friends list) or something?

scootyboots commented 4 years ago

@aburd Maybe whoever makes the zone can choose for it to be public or private? Could have different levels too like - only people I invited/anyone on my friends list/anyone on my friend's friends list/anyone

Would be cool to be able to suggest potentially good zones.

I think we'll definitely want a friends list and chat for DMs and anyone in the same zone, but I wouldn't consider those MVP features.

Also just to get the idea down before I forget - could set your status like: Lookin to Hang/Could Hang/Depends who's hanging/Not Feelin it Today

<3 Actually, I kind of like the idea of this being mostly used for private. Wouldn't want to unleash the insane hang on the world too fast.

Would be cool to be able to suggest potentially good zones.

I suppose anyone could submit a zone? Like, any zone that anyone has marked not private would just automatically be displayed to anyone lookin' for zones.

I think we'll definitely want a friends list and chat for DMs and anyone in the same zone, but I wouldn't consider those MVP features.

So what would be your MVP features?

Hangers:

name
friends
last checked in hangzone
status

HangZones:

name
address
public/private

@aburd

MVP features for me would be:

enter a username (not necessarily make an account or anything)
pick a spot on a map as a designated hang zone
option to input some text related to the hangzone: chillin by the benches, bring beers, etc.
share the hangzone with others via URL
anyone who joins the hangzone can see each other's location relative to the hangzone

Maybe a little too stripped down? Kind of just a proof of concept I guess

aburd commented 4 years ago

@scootyboots That is actually pretty interesting. Rather than making people make an account, we let anybody use it. Certain features go with an account, which we can implement in the future once we get the base down.

Maybe a little too stripped down? Kind of just a proof of concept I guess

No, I actually like it better. It could just be like draw.io for hanging.

Ok, so just same stuff you said but maybe fleshing out the naming a bit:

Login - Join Anonymously (Login / Sign up later?)
Zone page
1. Show zone
  - Has a map with other public zones to see info about
  - Clicking a part where there's no zone asks you if you wanna create one
2. Create Zone
  - GPS coords filled in from clicking map
  - Other zone info to fill in ("input some text related to the hangzone: chillin by the benches, bring beers, etc.")
  - Submit will save to DB (but be marked for deletion after 24 hrs? dunno what's up here)
  - Shareable URL also pops out

anyone who joins the hangzone can see each other's location relative to the hangzone

App will have to ask for GPS tracking. Can put a notice saying we don't share your coords with anyone.

Locking this issue for now, since final MVP1 mockups have hit master.
