Social network for college students to connect with other people taking the same classes that they are and study together. They can share important information about the class, organize study groups, and connect with their community.
- Category: Social Networking, Education
- Mobile: Users can receive notifications, use the camera to take pictures, and share data to other mobile apps.
- Story: Allows students to collaborate and connect with eachother
- Market: The market is mainly undergraduate college students, but high school, graduate, and students of all kinds could utilize the app.
- Habit: Students will frequently use the app to check-in with and chat with their classmates, as well as to keep updated on class materials.
- Scope: Initial versions would have a simple feed and allow users to post objects of different types (assignment, exam, document, study group, discussion). Some stretch goals would be more advanced data on the feed or profile and a system to use voting to verify the accuracy of information.
