"Ok, New idea for today is... wait for it... myKudos, a web app that has two main categories, one for things the user has done, and another for things said about their work. the only stipulation for Kudos is that it must be positive. the user signs in, creates an account, and can either upload Kudos from school, work, Mom, etc or their own work. Any compliments about their work can be left in comments, allowing other users the ability to flag negative comments to be removed.
the reason for this app idea is to find a way to make a difference in society by making a difference on the individual.
it has been proven that reflecting on ones accomplishments is a great way to gain confidence and ease of mind."
Now instead of making it a web app, I will just start off with a simple multi user blog type backend, allowing the users to open up directly to their page. Their accomplishment will be posted in a thumbnail view across the top, and then listed with intros in the main content space. All controls for the site will be located on a simplified bar across the top, kind of like how Android 4 design specifications are. This will also allow a smooth transition into the mobile version of the site as well.
For computer browsers, you will have a collapsible sidebar on the left that allows for further organization and access to various groups or subscriptions. Which brings me to my next revision. Groups and subscriptions.
When you are on the public timeline, you can view all incoming Kudos in real time as Thumbnails attached to a brief intro. If the user views one, it will take them to that users page, where they can subscribe to their accomplishments. The groups are sets of people with like accomplishments, for instance you will have groups for Business Management, Design, Customer Service, friendship, family, etc. This allows users to also include or block themselves from certain groups too. This will only be on the public end.
I feel that I do also have to add that this site should be set up to deny any negative posts. If a post is made and flagged as negative, then it should be taken offline immediately and set up for review. If the post is found to be positive, then it will be made public again and blocked from any further flagging. In the case of people making things up to make themselves look better, I don't think we will have too much of a problem with that, those types are even easy to spot on Facebook.
I will post again soon on the monetization of this site and how it should be set up. If you like the idea so far, leave me a comment and help me convince myself it is worth a look into kickstarter.
