ULinks is an open source website serving as a group chat directory enabling students to join group chats for courses or communities within their school.
To assist in searching, there should be a tagging system where one can apply tags to a community or course group chat.
What would you like? 🧰
For purposes of keeping everything appropriate and ordered, this could be a set of already created tags that people can select instead of letting users type whatever they want.
These tags could include things like the campus (the communities tab seems to group everything together) or what kind of community it is. It could also help differentiate different kinds of communities. For example, a hobby community for a game would be different from a community like a debate club.
Additional details ℹ️
I imagine letting whoever submits a community be the one who determines the tag may be the simplest.
However, I do like what LinkedIn has for user profiles where people can vote for or vouch for what skills someone has on their profile. I think this could be cool because nobody is perfect at describing and advertising themselves. This can be especially true for student organizations I feel, some are not run most optimally due to students having other life obligations. So for example, a viewer could find a gaming club and notice that the writer forgot to put the gaming tag. So they can vote on it and say "this is a gaming club."
This would probably be a bit more work, and could probably be done as an enhancement of a tagging system after a basic version has already been implemented.
