Solution ideation
Our solution contains 4 tabs that allows users to engage with fun activities with their friends and reconnect with the long forgotten ones.
First tab would be a homepage that contains all the necessary quick information for the user to glance at, such as incoming requests for hanging out together or viewing public events nearby to choose from and suggest to friends to attend together.
Second tab would be a list of friends you can connect with. Whenever you click on a friend, the user will see a list of available matching times between them. Once a time has been selected, the user will send a personalized message request to the friend.
Third tab would be a calendar view. Users can view and click on any free spot, and see a list of friends who are also available in that time slot.
Fourth tab would be on-going chats between the friends for activity coordination, because it usually takes some time for both parties to respond back to each other and finalize the activity.
Assumption Map
Here’s why we believe our product is 1) desirable, 2) viable, and 3) feasible. Our full assumption map can be found here.
After placing these assumptions in a 2×2 graph with important to unimportant and known to unknown, we found two key assumptions to test:
- Socially awkward people should feel comfortable rejecting and being rejected
- Busy people should respond to requests and get responses on time
Assumption Testing
Assumption 1: Busy people will regularly use our product and respond to friends’ invitations on time.
Assumption 2: People are comfortable with rejecting invitations and getting rejections.
