On nous a Cut (this name sucks and can be changed to anything you want)

Introduction

On a nous a cut is web application that notifies users of electricity, water or internet outage in their location

Why ?

Cameroonians, are experiencing frequent water, internet and electricity outages. It can be useful for us to know where and why such outages occurred, in order to know where we can find a cyber coffee to work or carry some water for some emergencies.

How it works

Multiple of ways user interacts with the platform:

  • The user experience an outage of any kind (electricity, water, internet) goes to the platform and fill in a basic form on which he specifies where he lives and the time when he noticed the outage and the kind of malfunction he is experiencing
  • The user experience an outage goes to the platform simply to check if the same thing happened for more people, he can requires to be notified per email or sms if the status of the outage turns green
  • The user experienced an outage and update the status of the outage as things evolves, he turns alert green when everything get back to normal

Labels

The platform is a web application that can be build on the model of this german website that does exactly the same thing

UX and USER FLOWS:

  • First time the user open the app, we show popup to ask for notifications, install(PWA) permissions
  • He enters his phone number and location (almost everybody are used to SMS than emails)
  • [INTERESTING - OPTIONAL*] in order to send SMS we can show him an ads to get some money to pay for SMS
  • In the notification we suggest to open the app to see areas that have electricity

DESIGN:

  • when his area has electricity the app can be light theme and dark theme when it's not
  • with some Eneo jokes we know
  • UI inspiration: https://fast.com/
