Fountain Topics

[balupton]

Phase 3 of Fountain will be to enable realtime discussions around proposed Events, Content, and now Topics. Such that Fountain does not become yet another attention versus humanity service.

MVP — Reading Rehab

• login via goodreads
• elect for availability
• receive an email notification when a threshold of others have read the same book you have with shared elected availability, email will prompt user to commit to a public or private discussion session
  • $10 for a private session that will not be recorded
  • $5 of public session that is recorded via zoom and added to the reading rehab youtube channel
  • payment for admission is to increase commitment, such that follow-through on saying they will participate and actually participating is harmonised
  • TOS / minimal guidelines about what to expect between the private and public session will confirmed at event type election, and again at joining
• once event type elected and paid, they will receive alerts 3 hours before, and 5 minutes prior to the event which will take them to the onboarding page
• the onboarding page will split them into different zoom rooms based on number of attendees and familiar/followed attendees
• once an event is occurring, users will be able to see and elect to follow other participants
• after the event, users will be thanked, with a request for survey and feedback session, via a asynchronous form, as well as a discussion URL with the bevry team personally
• users will elect if they wish to now opt-out of notifications of the book that they just discussed
• landing page for users will show upcoming discussions for books they are currently reading, books they have already read, and books they want to read — they will be able to attend the former two, but only observe the latter
