Domino, share your activity, get motivated
What is Domino ?
Domino (the app final name is still under research and development) is an app created to enhance one’s experience of going outside. Let’s define a new term called instant tourism by looking into what the app offers.
The app is centered around a main function, placing activities on a map. Whenever you are going to the skatepark with friends, attending an old car gathering or even sipping a drink near the beach, you are free to share this activity by placing a pin on the map and describing few information… The goal is to motivate people to go outside and do activites they would have never done otherwise. It works best when in a foregn country or travelling to a place you haven’t meticulously prepared your tight planning. It gives you hints on where to eat, what to do, or find exceptional events on a 2h time-frame.
The instant in instant tourism comes from this last rule. The pins created will look bigger on the map if it’s liked by the community but will be forced to disappear after 2h, bringing light to other less famous activities or more time-limited events.
Work in progress
Here are some screens of the current state of the app with some work in progress advancements.
The map in the screen comes from a video game because I am not using a world map yet as I didn’t chooe wich provider to use.
Here is the logo I imagined for the app. A “one fine line” design with an activity, people and a pin.
Questions not answered yet
feel free to share ideas
- artistic direction (mostly name and color palette, the logo is done)
- how to moderate pin from the community ?
- will the app mainly focus on friends (lower customer retention this way, no need to moderate)
- how to properly use map data, have few hints
- any KYC or phone number to better identify and block prohibited behaviors ?
- current version built in swift for practical reasons, I have both a macbook and an iphone, but deployment is expensive on IOS and lacks android support.
