Challenge Description:
We want every human to be able to share something/anything with whomever they wish (as long as its legal). Whether it be data, something tangible, or a service, its innate in every person to want to help their fellow man in need. We want to make this a reality through technology.
We are looking for the [topcoder] design Community to help us with planning our new "user experience" (UX).
Screen Sizes:
- Mobile Resolution: Design for iPhone 6 Retina Display 750px x 1334px.
- Desktop: Width of 1280px and height as required.
Make sure you create graphic in 'shape' format, so when we resize graphics will still look sharp! It will be great if you can provide the landscape version.
Branding Guideline:
- Colors are open to what you think will get us he���best���response���rate���and���make���people���want���to���share���using���our���platform.
Design Considerations:
- Your design needs to be responsive; please consider that while designing the pages.
- Focus on the user experience of each page and make sure each page has a complete flow.
- Give importance to the overall layout and think about how a user would interact with the content on the page.
- Show all the screens and provide a user flow/click-path, so we can see how the interactions fit together in the application.
Main Features:
1. The activity feed could show what others are sharing.
2. Any new badges others have been granted for sharing more things.
User Flow:
1. So the user should first come to a page that prompts them to sign in/up (if signing up they will have to accept the terms that they will not be adding unlawful things or activities and to abide by our sharing guidelines etc.) and gives them a call to action of "What do you want to share?, or What do you need?".
2. This should have them type something in which the app then determines what they mean. This will bring up things for them to choose from (if service or something tangible geographically).
3. If user is sharing something it will then give them direction on how to share it, if needing something shared it will bring up the best possible choices to choose.
4. We are contemplating making this open source to where people can add capability to sharing more things, thus growing the site. There should be a link to something like this "Not seeing what you want?". 5.The item/service/data is then shared in whichever the easiest way possible, and then returned if need be.
6. We should also be heavily praising and giving words of encouragement to both parties once they have had a sharing experience. The sharer should be heavily praised and encouraged once they have taken time and energy from their life to share something, and the person needing something to be shared that gets what they need should be heavily praised and encouraged once they have finished receiving and returned the tangible item if that's the case.
Required Features:
- We currently do not have any formal requirements. We are looking for you to provide design concepts and click-paths. This is the first step in planning our user experience!
- Please read the user flow and target audience sections and make sure to capture what the client is looking for.
Suggested Screens:
- We would like YOU to suggest features/screens that this app should incorporate.
1. Log In Screen:
- Each user needs to sign in by filling:
-- Username.
-- Password.
-- Forgot password link.
-- Remember me checkbox.
-- Login button.
2. Sign Up:
- Here the user the user needs to fill his information:
-- First name.
-- Last name.
-- Nickname.
-- Email.
-- Confirm Email.
-- Password.
-- Confirm Password.
- User will be able to connect using his google plus or linked in information.
- What do you want to share?
- What do you need?
- There should be a link to something like this "Not seeing what you want?
- Accept Terms Checkbox.
3. How To Share:
- This can be a tips page or video and text page.
- Show sharing possibilities if something need to be shared.
4. Timeline:
- See whats being shared on community.
- Sharing Item/Service/Data and getting some praise.
5. Profile Page:
- See what others are doing (sharing activities) and their badges.
6. What Else?
- Please share with us what you think can help us bring the idea more to live.
7. Name Suggestions:
- We are open for suggesting new names for us for this up instead of HereYaGo.
Important:
- Keep things consistent. This means all graphic styles should work together.
- All of the graphics should have a similar feel and general aesthetic appearance
Target Audience:
- Users will be both sides of the coin...those that want/need something to be shared and those that have the resource to give. It could be as simple as a friend needing you to share your lawnmower to an attorney working pro bono to win an award or look better in the eyes of the community. The more a person shares, the more prestige you get within the community (awards or badges for more sharing, possibly get a coupon or trip or something donated from a company wanting to advertise on the platform).
Judging Criteria:
- How well you plan the user experience and capture your ideas visually.
- Cleanliness of your graphics and design.
- Your design should possible to build and make sense as a mobile application.
