Brief

How can we promote city-based community building through low and no-cost grass roots event creation?

The heart of cities really lie in the communities they build. Jousting, dancing lesson on the pier, franken-bike festivals, web-literacy classes, or thinking back to the youtube rise of Improv Everywhere – whatever it is, these low or no cost events help foster these city-wide communities and one of the best uses of tech is to help people connect offline.

I've been working on Thirdspace for just this. Creating a digital space for people to spread the word about physical spaces. This has been worked on slightly backwards (though I've regularly found there is no perfect linear process – ride the waves!) I started with screens then worked my way back to what would I need from an MVP and then created my eng diagrams based on how the architecture would need to be built to be able to fulfill the needs of the MVP and be flexible to take on the needs of future features.

The MVP currently consists of only web-scraped events using public parks and some community blogs, which will be filterable by date and time. From this I created my frist webscraper and an aggregator to have all of the sources in one place.

This is still a work in progress but you can check out some of the thought process below.

Main Explore page, filters and a selected page

User RSVPing to an event and sharing

Main flow of event creation screens. Flow for adding an existing event is a single page as a user would want to add info as soon as possible. The other flow for creating an event is multi-step, like a conversation with a user as they build their event, ensuring any event privacy or space caps

If a User is creating an open event in a public space with no RSVP cap, it reads based on the location selected so the user can acknowledge this as well as links them to the preferred permit if they want to learn more.

Black hole 404

Initial VERY Lofi brainstorm of needed screens

One of my first eng diagrams (s/o to all the engineers I've worked with who helped me get to the point where I can make my own)! Reviews how the data is retrieved, managed and stored. For example, the app will be pre-populated with data (aka event info) that is pulled from web scraping public park sites, thus are from an external source, while data (aka event info) entered by users in the app is from a local source

First web scraping attempt, date and time were them separated and other sites' data was aggregated together into a master list.
