vincentol / FoundingFathers

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. Abraham Lincoln November 19, 1863

Nic I like - I really like the app idea, and how it was presented with the humourous storyboards. Personally, I think it’s going to be really hard to gather all of that data, but if done correctly this app would be amazing. I wish - I’m not sure how this could be improved, since it seems like there’s a very clear idea in mind. Maybe it would be cool to expand this idea and see what else could be implemented in the app. Is there any way you could find a way to save money on UberEATS as well?

Joseph I like - I like how this app takes very commonly used services and makes them better and more convenient for people. I wish - You could maybe add a speed feature that determines where and which app will provide the fastest service for people who want to get somewhere faster.

Ashkon I like - how it is taking advantage of applications that are very commonly used in day to day life. I can see myself and a lot of others using this because of how tedious it is to constantly flip through applications. I also like how it factors the decisions in for your relative location. I wish - that this would give you multiple options based on if you are riding in a group or solo. Sometimes taking a rideshare may be cheaper than all paying for a public transportation service. Right now it seems to only handle the solo case.

Anish I like - how this will not only be comparing prices of Uber and Lyft. The thing that makes this application different is that it also recommends how to make the ride cheaper by giving a time to wait or a distance to walk. This is a really interesting idea and I hope it will not be challenging to implement the recommendation part. I wish - that there would be a way to also recommend for different number of people as well as compare UberX with UberPool and other travel options

Feedback from K6 Hoooookah

Claire: This app directly speaks to me. As someone who can be too lazy to take the bus to school and would Uber, surge pricing and higher demand pricing sucks. This is a great concept. I wish there was a way to compare Lyft as well. That would make the application more functional.

April: I like that this app would genuinely be useful to people, especially those who want to save money. I wish there was a way to differentiate between Uber and Lyft in your app's UI. I'm not exactly sure how the app is going to work. Will Uber and Lyft be compared with each other or separately?

Devon I like that this app would help decide when to leave a location and find cheaper times to travel. I wish we had more information on how surge information is displayed. It is sometimes hard to predict and can be affected by weather, events, etc. Would you be displaying previous surge trends? Current trends? Also, a similar app (different focus) exists: ride.guru Just make sure different enough from this application. I have one concern and that is safety. The cheaper locations during a surge (or in general) may not be safest locations to wander to, especially late at night and/or while drunk/drugged. Maybe integrate crime stats into the app to avoid this?

Zhiyu: I like: the idea is very useful in real life. I want: A paper model showing how users interact with the app would be great. Because how to implement the app in a user-friendly way is very important to attract users. Also, there is already a web application ride.guru has similar functionality. Would be better to think about how to add an unique feature that makes your app stands out.

It's a good idea, but it's not clear where you will get your data from. Think of what you could pivot to, since there is no novelty in case this data isn't available. Also, be kinder to constructive criticism!
