This is the revival of Gamling.org.
I've figure out that I should plan it very well, as we will have several competitors time year.
The value of Gamling.org for users is to get real-time flood information on a certain location.
The value can be broken down into 3 principles:
- Recency
- Geographical coverage
- Accessibility
- We focus on mobile-compatible website, iPhone app, and Android app
Or specifically speaking:
- Flood information that is older than 24 hours has no value to users
- Flood information that is NOT in an interested area of a user has no value to him/her
- If Gamling.org cannot be accessed from user's device, it has no value to users
Other peripheral principles:
- Easiness
- Users don't need to authenticate themselves before submitting data; We identify them with unique ID generated from their phones.
- Users from website still need to authenticate themselves
- Privacy
- We don't show users' identities
- Feedback
- Users can see how many people view their posts, and their posts are expressed as special pins. They can see how much impact they have on other people.
- Users also have their impact score
- User-oriented
- The levels of water are expressed in user's language: น้ำท่วมข้อเท้า (รถผ่านได้), น้ำท่วมครึ่งเข่า, น้ำท่วมเข่า (รถผ่านไม่ได้)
- Integrity of information
- Trusted users are individual, who has integrity and won't abuse the system; We give them special pins
- Organizational users are restaurants, hotels, and etc., who want to announce that their branches are still open
