Final Milestone

Target Delivery: May 14, 2026

Goal

Extend the MVP into a more complete Social Event Mapper platform by adding richer event management, trust mechanisms, map-based discovery, moderation, ticketing, broader communication features, and improved cross-platform user experience.

High-Level Direction

1. Expand Event Management

• Add event editing capabilities for hosts
• Introduce event versioning and visible changelog
• Support reconfirmation flows after critical event changes such as time, location, meeting point, privacy level, or participation constraints
• Add optional meeting point support inside events for more precise gathering instructions
• Add private event support with appropriate participation visibility and access rules
• Add invitation-based participation flows for relevant event types
• Add missing backend-side constraint validations to ensure rules are enforced consistently beyond client applications
• Show short explanatory helper text for privacy levels on the create event screen

2. Improve Discovery Experience

• Add map view alongside list view
• Enhance geospatial browsing and route-based discovery
• Improve ranking and relevance mechanisms
• Update the location search provider used by Mobile and Frontend
• Show a mini map inside event detail pages and provide a shortcut that opens Google Maps or Apple Maps with directions
• Filter discovery results so users only see events whose gender and age restrictions they satisfy
• Allow users to view other users’ profile details as part of trust and discovery flows

3. Extend Communication Features

• Add in-app, email, and push notification capabilities
• Expand communication coverage for invitations, approvals, rejections, cancellations, and important event updates
• Improve how users track platform activity beyond page-based request management
• Introduce bilingual Turkish / English language support across core user-facing flows

4. Add Ticketing and Attendance Features

• Introduce digital ticket generation
• Support QR-based validation for hosts
• Support ticket lifecycle states and attendance tracking
• Establish the core ticketing system needed for participant admission and attendance confirmation

5. Add Administration and Moderation

• Add reporting workflows for inappropriate events
• Add moderation review and moderation outcomes
• Add category suggestion and approval mechanisms
• Introduce administrator capabilities for platform governance
• Build event reporting and an admin panel structure for moderation and operational oversight

6. Enrich Participation and Social Interaction

• Support attachments on join requests, including images or PDF files, for proving certain participation constraints
• Add a discussion section under events for pre-event Q&A
• Add a post-event comments section and align it with the existing review and rating flow
• Extend post-event feedback to support attaching event photos where appropriate
• Show total rating count alongside rating values for stronger trust signals

7. Improve System Quality

• Strengthen reliability, scalability, and security
• Improve auditability and concurrency handling
• Move closer to the defined non-functional performance targets
• Add Sentry-based monitoring for error tracking within free-tier constraints
• Add dark mode support across core platforms
• Introduce an in-app SMS verification flow through the profile area, separate from the login flow

Final Deliverable Expectations

• The platform should support a fuller event lifecycle from discovery to attendance to post-event evaluation
• Hosts should be able to manage events beyond simple creation and cancellation
• Discovery should include both list and map-based experiences
• Trust, moderation, invitations, private events, and ticketing features should be meaningfully integrated
• Communication features should extend beyond OTP-only verification and include in-app and push-based updates
• The final system should align with the overall functional and non-functional goals of the project
• The user experience should be coherent across backend, frontend, and mobile surfaces

Success Criteria

• The project demonstrates a coherent and expanded end-to-end event platform
• Core participant, organizer, and admin journeys are covered
• Event editing, map discovery, feedback, reliability, moderation, and ticketing are integrated at a high level
• Private events, invitations, notifications, and discussion flows are incorporated into the platform experience
• Constraint enforcement, localization, profile visibility, and discovery filtering behave consistently across the system
• The final deliverable is stable, reviewable, and aligned with project requirements
