Project: Basecamp Clone

Project Goal: To create a collaborative space for projects (managers and users)

MVP:

• I want the user to be able to add a project.
• I want the user to be able to have others users added to their project.
• I want the user to be able to add posts to a project.
• I want the user to be able reply to a post (make a post page that displays all the info for the post.)
• I want users to be able to update status of projects including milestones, etc.

Tools:

• Ruby on Rails
• API? - I don’t know what API I would use. I think at most that I will be looking at gems to use.

Additional Features:

• I want to be able to create something that will give reminders for those using the app that they have things that are coming soon.
• I want to be able to create additional user roles beyond that of users: Project Managers, etc. so that the application can have some kind of management behind the projects.
• Creating approval systems or workflows.
• Some way to export reports from the app to visually show a projects progress.
• Add devise security extension for user security and captcha support.
• Pinning projects to the top
• Chatroom
• Teams
• Headquarters section for the whole 'company'
• Add translator to turn text into different languages for users
• Add ajax to close out the flash messages that appear
• Have a public/private for projects for users to be able to see or join projects (have hidden or public to start)
• I want users to be able to add users that are not in the app and have an email generated and mailed to the new user.
• Create feature to make names anonymous or masked?
• Transfer Project Ownership
• Have pagination display in the url for users

Additional Technologies:

• I will need to look at the way to generate PDF's or reports from data and make them so they are visually pleasing.
• I think that looking at creating email templates will also be important if things want to be shared.
• Look into Action Cable for message board

This README would normally document whatever steps are necessary to get the application up and running.
