Future Ideas

Here are some brainstormed ideas for the app, that may need more discussion with the community. If you want to implement one of these ideas feel free to start a discussion about this on AnitaB.org Open Source Zulip!

Idea	Description
Build an App with a hybrid framework	Use a framework like flutter to build a version of this app, to embrace both Android and iOS platforms
Web platform	Build a web version of the app. Or integrate this with an existing one, e.g.: VMS
Report violations	Report Member violations of Code of Conduct
Third party apps authentication	Authenticate using Slack, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc
Meetings scheduling	Create Meetings between members or two users in a relation. Possibly integration with Google Calendar
Messaging chat	Instant Messaging for Mentor and Mentee to talk to each other, during or before the mentorship relation starts
Gamification feedback	When a mentor or mentee reach an achievement together, being an item from a checklist, they can receive feedback in the form of points, or just congratulation messages
Notifications	Push Notifications; Email and in-app notifications; Notifications about new mentorship requests or acceptances, new items added to the list of resources, new achievements
Shared resources	A mentor can share resources such as links to websites, pdfs, google docs. There can be a screen dedicated to these items
Tutorial	A tutorial screen, explaining what a user can do in the app, in its first login in the app would be helpful
Mentor and Mentee recommendation	Users can be recommended to each other according to their interests, skills, availability to mentor and be mentored
Mentorship Agreements from One Mentor to Many Mentees	A mentor can mentor many mentee’s on one topic, at the same time… Group Mentoring (to be discussed: the initial idea is for the mentor to focus on one mentee only instead of sharing attention with many mentees)
