Communication platform for queer youth to find and share good spots.
Created at the Hack for Queer Youth.
============== SCENARIO A I am a youth walking in the Mission and I want to find a place to hang out for a few hours where I won't be hassled. I don't have a smartphone, but I do have a texting plan.
- I text a phone number (TWI)-LIO-ROCKS 'find'
IF NOT VERIFIED: 2. I get a text back that says 'Do you have a verification code? Enter it or visit the SF LGBT Center to get one.' 3. I enter the verification code. 4a. I get a text back saying 'Thanks! What are you looking for? Say wifi, hang, sleep' 4b. I get a text back saying 'Sorry, that code didnt work. Check spelling and capitalization and try again.'
IF VERIFIED: 2. I get a text back that says "What are you looking for? Say 'wifi', 'hang', 'sleep'" 3. I text 'hang' 4. I get a text back that says "Where are you? Say an address or intersection." 5. I text 'harrison and embarcadero' 6a. I get a text back that says "You can hang here: [Place info, distance]. Need directions? y/n" 6b. I get a text back that says "We can't find anywhere nearby [to hang/with wifi/to sleep]." 7a. I get a text back with walking / transit directions.
============================================== SCENARIO B I am a youth in the outer Richmond on my friend's laptop, and I'm looking for a place to crash tonight.
- I go to goodspot.info
- I enter my facebook username and password
IF NOT VERIFIED: 3. "Do you have a verification code? Enter it or visit the SF LGBT Center to get one." I fill out the field for verification code. 4. Confirmation or error message.
CHECK PHONE: 5a. If they haven't yet provided a phone number, "Put in your phone number to use goodspot via text later." 5b. If they've provided a phone number, "Check this number - is it still correct?"
- See main view. Has a map with all spots on it, plus filter controls, plus geolocate button, plus 'share a spot.'
