roadmap
here's what I'm up to with the app in the foreseeable future. for the time being, I'm working on this in my free time. so be patient.
planned features
- accessibility improvements!! this is a big one. I'm not a pro at this, so I'm
learning as I go. if you have any suggestions, please let me know!
- coordinates (lat/long) for group locations, so you can filter groups by geographical distance
- actually private groups. you can already pick "private" in the group settings,
but right now that's only a label - membership and content are not hidden yet.
this is next on the list.
- waitlist for meetups
- reaction to posts
- notifications
in progress
- nothing at the moment. I'm picking the next thing from the list above.
completed
- uploading a group image
- profile pages
- profile images
- pledge boards for meetups (who brings what? who can help with what?)
- print view for groups, with qr code for easy sharing
- max capacity for meetups
- "full" status for meetups (derived from the max capacity)
- short links for groups
- time zone for groups
- free-text location for groups
- spanish locale 🇪🇸
ideas for the future
I haven't fully thought these through yet, but here are some ideas I definitely want to explore:
- a mobile app
- a chat feature
- activity feed
- follow / befriend people and see their groups / meetups
- discussions in meetups
- uploading images / image gallery
- monetization for the platform. the features as they are now will always remain
free! it might be either a really cheap one-time fee (maybe 50$?) or a really cheap, optional
subscription model (like 10$/yr) to support the development and pay for hosting.
no ads, no selling of data, ever. open for suggestions!
- a way to find people with similar interests
- polls in meetups
- calendar view for meetups
- time slot finding for meetups, like doodle or noodle
non-goals
- charging fees for meetups. you can use lu.ma for that which is really great btw, cheap and pretty.
