OpenHSV Mobile App Brainstorm

App Description

The OpenHSV Mobile App connects users with events, groups, and members of the Huntsville, Alabama tech community.

• Designs

Version 1

For the initial release of the OpenHSV app, we will re-create the public-facing features of the OpenHSV Website:

• member registry
  • searchable
  • filterable by category
  • contains opt-in only information
• group registry
  • searchable
  • show public group information
• event calendar
  • filterable by group(s)
  • ability to add events to calendar
• about
  • shows stats related to OpenHSV and its events

Stetch Goals:

• profile creation
• easter egg: OpenHSV logo becomes a playable tic-tac-toe board

Version 2

The second release of the OpenHSV app will focus on adding the member-only functionality that is already present on the OpenHSV Website:

• member registry
  • add ability to contact members who have added opted-in
• profile editing
  • modify information and what is publicly viewable
• group creation/editing
• group enrollment
  • join/leave groups
  • ability to subscribe to group events for notifications
  • invite others to group by email or in-app notification
• event creation

As a stretch goal, we may also consider event check-in as a mechanism for encouraging participation in OpenHSV events.

Back-End Requests

We would like the following functionality to be added to the back-end which will power the OpenHSV app:

• more granularity for user types (event coordinator, admin, etc.)
• all member information should be private (by default) and you can configure what you want to be public
• ability for users to post intent (looking for X dev, wanting to learn Y topic)
