Have something to say?
Initial Feedback
The onboarding is nice, just enough detail to get me started quickly with a little bragging. Landing page Instead of dropping me into the feed after initial onboarding, why not get me hyped about showing off my ride? I think it would be nice to ask for my first photo, my last or next race, my favorite muffler manufacturer (I have no idea what I’m talking about), etc. this would let me “dress up and comb my hair” before I leap into this new crowd. Attaching files When attaching files I would think seeing my photo library would be my most common location for photos. When I tapped attachment, it gave me a list of most recent documents, but didn’t let me navigate beyond this, such as to specific iCloud app folders. Navigation: bottom Nav The side scrolling bottom NAV feels odd. Normally that would remain stationary as the content above it slides to the next screen and the icon lights up to indicate where I am. Profile Navigating to the profile should only go to edit by default when it’s first set up. After that, it should show a mostly uneditable, attractively designed profile page with an edit button at top right. Clicking that will show the Cancel and Save buttons and the current editable fields. Posts When I create a new event or post, save it, I am taken to a blank screen. I know you don’t have a lot of content, but at least I think I should see my current post rather than a blank screen again. It makes me wonder whether my post actually saved. Potential new features • Wish lists - mods I want to make in the near future, maybe races I want to run?, etc. More to come.
Autocross - Run Comparison
I would like to be able to export a run from my software (racebox, race chrono), and compare my run against a run from a friend. Plot differences and project an optimum time between the two runs.
Event Attendance
Currently I can check into an event, but I cannot indicate if I am interested in attending an event. I should be able to invite others to events, and they should be able to indicate if they are attending or not (or Maybe)
Social - View Followers
I should be able to view my followers, or the followers for other users. I should also be able to see whom I have blocked.
Retire a Ride
The user can delete builds, but cannot delete rides. The user should be able to completely remove a ride, and also have the ability to “retire” a ride. A retired ride would remain in a separate section of the user’s garage so that the full history is retained, and represents the fact the user no longer owns that ride.
Social - Groups
A user should be able to create a Group for specialized interests, such as for a particular model car, or a local car club. Groups should be private or public, and have administrative capabilities.
Group Rides
Social - A user should be able to organize a Group Ride. This would be a superset of an Event. A Group Ride would have geographic endpoints, possibly with multiple waypoints. Users should be able to invite others to group rides, and be able to search for group rides.
Concept - Activities
The platform currently allows users to create events, but that is mostly to provide users with an opportunity to gather. The platform should allow users to participate in activities, either connected to a group, or individually. In other words, activities do not need to be connected to an Event. Activities could include HPDE’s, drag strips, autocross events, etc. Activities should support discussions and attachments, like other entities. Activities should also support notes and metadata, so that a user can record relevant data from one activity to another (such as ambient weather conditions, tires pressures, etc). Perhaps include templates for activities.
Social - Notifications
The user should be notified of interesting events, such as when someone replies to a post, or a user they follow adds a new Build
Map Selection Improvements
The map screen just shows a map, and the user must zoom & scroll to place a pin. The map screen should automatically center based on the user’s current location, and it should also be searchable for addresses or location names.
Social - Discussions attached to Parent
Today, when a user creates a discussion on an entity such as a Ride or Build, it is displayed in the activity feed as just a Discussion, with no context. The activity feed should indicate to what the discussion is attached
