What a feeling when you meet someone that you have a connection with. What do you do with that connection if it's not a romantic one? The hesistation to open up and time constraints impede deep connections from developing. What if there was a space where people could commit to developing a relationship and do so on their own schedule? Becoming BFFs will create a platform for two people to form a deeper connection by being prompted to share stories, facts, and answers to the deep questions about their lives.
Create a mobile app for two people to share intimacy on the internet.
- As a user, I want to be able to sign in to the application.
- As a user, I want to be able to establish a friendship on the app.
- As a user, I want to be able to answer the provided questions and then have those responses available for my friend to see.
- As a user, I want to be able to see my friends's responses to the questions.
- As a user, I want to be able to see my own responses.
- As a user, I want to be encouraged to answer questions thoughtfully and be guided through the process.
- Allow users to share in different formats (audio, video, pictures)
- Notifications when friend has answered a question
- Instructive screen that encourages thoughtful responses
- Tracker to show progress
- Add more questions
- Encourage artistry and nonconventional story telling by having Miranda July write the prompts
- Dynamic links to invite friend
