Idea Phase II

On our second meeting, we continued talking about what the user should be able to do with our app.

Users, One or Many Types?

The big discussion of the evening was about how many kinds of users we want to support.

• One group liked the idea of having one user login with tags defining mentor or mentee role.
• One group wants to have two kinds of users with separate logins: mentors and mentees. Solution? Voting in slack!

Tags

Agreement (no matter how many kionds of users) to implement a system with tags. Tags could come from a questionaire the user fills out in the beginning.

Tag Categories

We would like to differetiate between different aims the user may have: wanting to receive or give help. Which kind of help: Soft skills vs technical skills. It was discussed how the user can both be mentor and mentee, and many in the group prefer that the user has a custommized experince based on which they pick.

Scope

We again discussed that we don't want to build another stack overflow: the aim should be to make this a space for more career inspiration.

MVP

It's complicated having two kinds of users! For the Minimally Viable Product, we might want to go with only one user.

Search

Agreement that we want a search function where you can look for both skills and people.
