Open stevenwhunt opened 3 years ago

stevenwhunt commented 3 years ago

Idea: LV members need a way to digitally show they are members, so they can better leverage their membership as benefits are added.

Requirements:

Please add thoughts to this idea. I'll work to aggregate them into requirements in the original post.

So what pain is being solved by a membership card?

Do our users want or need a way to verify that someone is in the SG?

Funnily enough, this exact sort of thought came up in a recent #team-dev-work Slack thread which has led to this little doodad thus far: https://gist.github.com/jeffwecan/50fc45bb53b2b5cba7d2ce357dea60a6

anyone wanna look into making a digital membership card? could grab your membership purchase date from squarespace I imagine to check and see if youre a valid member off of an e-mail address?

Also tho, to what end(s) exactly? From the prompt, the feature set I assume would be: . URL with an email param => shows something like the STH card when visited directly and displays as an image when linked in slack / whatnot . Corresponding lil API that gives a :+1::skin-tone-2: / :thumbsdown::skin-tone-2: indicating current membership that could potentially be leveraged by other tools to allow for membership verification (so that those tools can check without also needing direct access to our squarespace data) I imagine that first point is mostly what we are after?

Yup 1st point mainly. I have no idea how complicated but adding a membership card to apple wallet or even an LV app in the future could be a great goal depending on the complexity I also wonder if we could display it somehow when people login on losverdesatx.org to their account
