##Technological Progress

##Project Stages

"Who's In?" vision:

This software is designed for Bars, clubs, Restaurants, etc...
for the use of every person who goes out to those places.

The "Who's In?" is a social app for Android based smartphones that allows everyone to see who is inside of the establishment, people that checked in using "Who's In?". plus users can use our web site and app to follow their friends.

Unlike any other social app available today you can see on the spot who is in without picking up your phone. Our project will help to satisfy peoples curiosity, it will be exclusive as we work with specific establishments, and give people the chance to show their picture on a TV screen.

#TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS

Our software will include two separate interfaces connected by a server:

website

###home page that includes:

  1. login (business owner or regular user), after login:
  • regular user - private page with personal info, shows if you have friends that checked in anywhere.
  • business owner - there will be two pages, one for his post that contains commercials and messages, second one will show picture and details of who's in his place
  1. a map/list of the places that support our software, and commercials

Technologies that will be used:

  • Webpage using html 5
  • DataBase using SQL

Android application

On the first screen the user will have to login, after that he can choose only one establishment to check into. He will stay checked in until he logs out or close the app. User can also view and edit his profile.

   * The app is for regular users only (not for business owners)

Technologies that will be used:

Server

We are planning to use a free web server hosting (not sure which one right now).

#FLOW CHART Diagram

#CLIENT "Who's In?" is developed as a social network and could be operated by us or by an outside investor. Our client for this project will be our classmate Igor Ostinsky (igoros) and he will give us feedbacks as we develop our project.

#FUTURE POSSIBLE FEATURES

Once we get the app up and running, there are several features we would like to add:

  1. A private wall for every establishment, where the owner can post special offers and announcements, and check in/check out will appear live.
  • The ability to ask for a private chat with anyone who checked in to the same place.
  • The check out will also be activated by closing the app or via GPS location (when leaving without checking out). This will also solve the "overbooking" problem.
  • Sync with other social network applications.
  • Making the app available on any smartphone OS.

#DEVELOPMENT WORKING METHOD We will try to combine the agile method with the waterfall method, and build the software as we go while creating a base and improving it. we will meet at least twice a week, at start learning the tool that we need to work with, and trying to release the beta version within 8 weeks, plus 2 weeks for bug fixing.

#RISK MANAGEMENT We see two major problems ahead of us:

  1. Working in environments we don't know and have no experience with.
  • Connecting all the different aspects of our product:
  • Pulling and pushing data to and from our Database.
  • Using same Database/server for the android App & the website.

There is much we don’t know about our project, and we are sure that there will be many more problems in the near future :)
