It can be difficult having to coordinate, plan, and join novel activities. For many people, it's not that they don't want to explore local adventures–the logistics just tend to become overwhelming and difficult to track.
A system that allows for high control over crowd composition, size, and activity details
Coordinating participant–specific group activities rather than focusing on making long term friends
Create, plan, and seek participants for group activities in one cohesive space
Create any activity of your choice and categorize them based on your needs and wants.
Quickly communicate with potential hosts and participants to make the most out of your time, especially for time or quantity sensitive activities
Find activities custom tailored to your interests; filter by date, group size, location, category, and more.
85% of interviewees reported using unrelated apps to find groups for activities, which muddles the results for all parties involved, leading to inefficient search efforts and discouraged users.
Key results from unmoderated surveys
People often report frustration around having to repeatedly find and reiterate reminders of the details as a group activity nears
If people cannot coordinate activities with their close or mutual friends, they tend to find more success or willingness to turn to online apps for recruitment

Experimented with the idea of “flexible time,” which would allow users to set multiple dates and times and pool them together for participants to choose from. This did not fit into the time constraints for further iteration and was not determined to be part of MVP.

I would love to reincorporate the “flexible” time and date ranges, where users can input a range of dates and times and select the option that best suits everyone's availability. While it was not an MVP, it was definitely a feature that I felt embodied the "all-in-one" planning aspect of co.ord.
The most important thing in time-constrained projects is to scope out and prototype the most important features first, so that you can run them through real users. Refinement can always come after you receive feedback.
