Additional Notes

• The gamification procces is reworked, so there is no need to add point balance system implementation.
• We have decided to continue with a badge sytem tracked by the overall historical data of the user.

Potential Additions

• Follow system between users (personalized feed).
• Separate Home (personalized) and Explore (global discovery) pages.
• Moderator workflow enhancements (report queue, action logs, flags and bans).
• Add explicit Non Functional Requirements from last Lab discussions: accessibility, security, inclusivity.
• Revise gamification around badges/challenges for Requirements.
• Please see notes for Meeting 3 (during Lab 2) for a more comprehensive list.
