—Feedback and advice. Absolutely don’t keep it to yourself if something about the Favor system looks wrong or broken to you. Point it out to me and I’ll either offer an explanation for why it’s like that, or agree that it needs fixing.
—Want to create a “Council” of people close to the project who I can present ideas/conflicts/scenarios to. I’m thinking a discord channel. LMK if you would like to be part of the council.
—Help edit the language of any section that maybe sounds too “chat botty” or could benefit from use of a better word (or a few) to get the point accross.
—Create a mascot for Favor!! Let the creativity flow! I was thinking about the little Reddit robot. Robots are cool! I also think an animal or even a superhero could make for a cool mascot! Should be something that represents willingness to help, and building social connections, a little buddy who exudes trustworthiness. (a unique little robot planting a sapling?)
—Ideas about how the app should look, color scheme, icons, layouts. I like the simplicity of a site like Reddit or Facebook. Similar layout without ripping off existing material.
—A YouTube video explaining Favor (in it’s current form) clearly and plainly. And right now, this is considered a sort thought experiment, until we see a pathway to a potential launch.
—Along the same lines as above, an informative GIF
—Mock up what it might look like to create a new Favor account/profile including:
A screen showing a place to enter a code to get invited to your friends’ circle (think discord invite) and an option to start your own circle
The typical screen with 1) name or pseudonym, 2) address, 3) DOB (under a certain age will require parental supervision), any other important info
A screen with two boxes asking if you’re looking to [ REQUEST A SERVICE ] or [ PROVIDE ASSISTANCE ]
“Home” screen showing picture/video frame of completed project with people in the background. Maybe a teenager mowing grass. Comment, upvote (no downvote) arrow.
Similar screen showing a “Service” or “Need” request with a still frame of a video displaying a person presumedly explaining her need to her circle. Comment, upvote, “boost” icons.
A screen asking what skills or expertise they are willing to offer, with a branching list of different topics which get more specific as a person clicks through to find the talents they wish to offer. Examples*:
(*Notion’s AI very graciously generationed this list of examples when I was trying to seach for how to make a numbered list within a bulleted list. It was an accident, but what am I going to do, delete it? The damage is done. And it’s exactly the kind of list I needed.)
The browser app and mobile app should favor simplicity as to not detract from the important content. (this is just my opinion…. if you’re seeing something else, then I want to see it too!)
