PRODUCT 1 NAME OF APP: UniBud

Initial Solo Ideas:

  • Sophie: idea came in conversation with Zac. Instagram post. Budgeting app (Emma), says she's in the top 0.1% for food. Wants to focus on food loving community. Ideas - create new form of food social media. New food review app. Three stories of challenges: love of food, passion for trying new restaurants, Angel has the highest concentration of restaurants. 2nd year anniversary, Japanese restaurant recommended but it wasn't any good, Google reviews were out of date. Lots of dietary requirements and vibe requirements. Recently Nandem, cash only Vietnamese restaurant. No one knew about it. To encourage people to try small business restaurants. Tailored categories, how many people, autocomplete, tailored vibe, cuisine, radius of area, budget etc. Also used as travel guide, as a guide, globally, just for food. Share favourites. Most popular, new restaurants. Select like people. Friend has IBS so finds it hard to find restaurants that cater. Lots of other apps. Most aren't social, want to focus on her generation. Only independent restaurants.
  • Ying-Chen: problem whether she should do a masters or not or do work. Reminds her of being in high school, clueless. Not sure what to do. Mentoring for high school students by university students. People push themselves into cliches, so pull them out of that. A platform for breaking stereotypes.
  • Zac: tried to thing of something beneficial, nothing groundbreaking. Things that he is interested in. Genuinely likes learning, absorbing information. Tried daily random fact every day. The facts aren't that good. He'd rather have something specific. Through design or fashion or moves, could be categories. Sophie and him spoke about furniture, a TikTok person https://www.tiktok.com/@deferredgratification. His idea it gives you a different piece of furniture, concise. Doesn't want to make something to suck you in, a little amount of time. Might just be a widget with a couple of facts about it. A database of cool furniture. Kind of like BeReal, you can't change it. It's the one thing you can look at that day.
  • Chiara: doesn't have an idea yet, but been speaking to friends. Common problem of wanting to do a big goal, we struggle to take small steps. We think of the big thing, but don't do 5 minutes a day to do the thing. Sometimes we don't know which step to take, we've been talking about this with friends and on her design course. Seen lots of apps like reminders, but not motivating. Not helpful.
  • Maria: talking with friends, lots of friends struggle with stress and mental health. So many apps on the app store for mental health, sometimes mindfulness, not what we want at the time, we have to pay for them. Inconsistent help, crappy AI chatbots, that aren't helpful. She isn't trained, how can we help each other through art? Archiving comforting things from different stuff. How can we make a community for smaller artists and help each other connect in a way, managing emotions. There is never a designated place for archiving things. Netflix lists genres, but not emotions. Her friends write in notes app on emotions.
