ThinkTank Meetings
Week 1
We did a:
- Project Overview
- Planned for working on the Taxi app idea (multiple weeks)
Action items for this week (optional): Taxi App Analysis
Our Taxi app project will take multiple weeks (however long it takes to create a good design) so this design doesn't have to be done in a week.
These action items are optional for anyone who wants to do this:
- Imagine a publicly-owned Taxi app that is maintained by the public, the drivers and the customers. All the activity takes place on a website
- What would that website look like? Using Google Slides or Google Docs, try to come up with some initial ideas of what you think the website would look like. For possibilities you can look at Slide 8 of the Project powerpoint but we are not restricted to that. Make your design whatever you want it to be. You can use Google Docs or Google Slides to create a rough visual layout. An example is shown on Slide 4 of the same powerpoint (link). You can also take ideas from anywhere else. There are various links in the powerpoint that go to other places.
- Other links for inspiration:
- https://www.reddit.com/r/uberdrivers/ (they're mostly discussing issues with the app or the business; sometimes people suggest solutions or what they think should be done)
- https://www.reddit.com/r/uber/ (issues again)
- https://www.reddit.com/r/lyftdrivers/
- https://www.reddit.com/r/Lyft/
- Google search for uber lyft issues - Articles on the web talking about this (example 1 and so on)
- Other links for inspiration:
We can look at specific issues being discussed on these Reddit and other links and also get some general ideas of what issue reporting and resolution would look like, and what it would look like if there was a community of people working on all the things in Slide 8 of our powerpoint. It might be good to give some example of an issue being reported and how the community would come up with a solution (whatever your understanding of this is).
We will review the ideas in the next meeting.
Week 2
- Review ideas created by other members for operating/maintaining a taxi app
