Hi Max,
I'm setting up the basic wiki for the time bank on the sudoroom github repo. feel free to add as you wish!
want to add to it?
UX is especially important
- the site is down, and the app isn't working - it probably won't be up again for a few months
- most people don't really follow the strict hours and accounting of the time bank. ti's more of an informal exchange
- I'm wondering if the time exchanged as currency could be more fluid. Instead of "2 hours or 1 hours" I wonder if people could donate "a late afternoon" or "an evening"
I'm prototyping some iOS mobile apps that will also try to get people into the time bank in a way beyond just adding hours. And I'm using a temporary backend as an xperiemtn - which is actually a good thing.
since the database won't be back up anytime soon this is actually an opportunity for people to experiment:
- What if you could donate hours but they got used up and not stored before the end of the month?
- what if people could just assign themselves hours and see if they could reach this number of hours by a certain time! like a race?
- What if you gained hours by weird things like hugs or cheering someone up?
I'm setting something up on Parse until the open source is ready. if anyone is interested just email me.
