Greetings to you @dimimp and all my fellow steemjetters. I can't say enough how grateful i am to be a member of the steemjet community and also a Space Force.
Few days ago, I made a suggestion to @dimimp about the need for a custom built website for steemjet community.
Custom built in the sense that it won't just be a regular website that displays contents but it will be built to suit the needs and operations of the steemjet community. Also it will be built on the steem blockchain so data related to steemjet existing on the steem blockchain can be easily fetched.
I have been working on a steem related project (SteemAsk) while waiting for the right time to channel my technical skills into steemjet so it will be a great honour giving my time and technical experience and skills to steemjet.
For a very long time I have been contemplating on developing this website for the community but I decided not to because then there was no need for it. A website has to be useful with tools or features that are essential to its users. Then steemjet was just a community existing on steemit without much functions and protocols so there was no need developing a website that offers all steemit offers but right now I feel the time is right to get this because I have seen great developments spring forth.
STEEMJET WEBSITE DOCUMENTATION
Overview:
Steemjet website is a software product designed to provide required tools and functionalities for steemjet to operate as an organization online.
Target Audience
It will be designed to be used by members of the steemjet community which I've broken into different categories considering their different functions.
Members: These are members of the community who hold no position in steemjet.
Space Force Members: These are members of the community who have been employed to carry out different tasks. Tools will be incorporated into this website to helps them carry these tasks smoothly
Our Students: These are those out there we hope to teach about steem and cryptocurrency.
Proposed Features
Book page: It's no news that our major project right now is the Olivia Story Book. There will be a dedicated page for hosting of our books so everyone can have access to it while we teach crypto to everyone out there.
Delegation tool: Space force members have been assigned to carry out tasks and SP delegated to everyone of them. This tool will be added to the website to aid this Steem Power delegation process.
Contest Page: We have seen lots of contest and most times it difficult to track them all, even more difficult to know which is ongoing and which has ended. This page will hold a list of all contest, inform members about contest status, and likely hold a list of all contest winners.
Space Force Member Page: We need a page to show all space force members according to their respective Space Force.
Department Page: We also need a page to show current and active departments and their members.
Analysis Page: I consider this a useful tool as it will help us analyze how well a space force members is doing. Curation data of a space force member can be retrieved by just inputting the username and performing a search query.
Contest submission page: This page will fetch all submission for contest and display them according to their respective contest. A user submitting an entry for a contest will have to use the right tag for submission to avoid his/her entry skipped.
Home page: This homepage will be custom built to display only steemjet related posts. This takes us away from the noise on steemit.
Human Resource Management tool: This is very essential as it will help the HR department carryout their activities smoothly.
More features will be added as we go on and see the need for them to be added to the website.
Functional Requirements of the Website
The software will be built in ReactJs for frontend and Laravel for backend. Its important to note that this backend will only store data of the community which doesn't exist on the steem blockchain.
The software will make use of the steem blockchain and its primary storage for data.
Deadline:
Beta Version to be released for testing in 40 days time prior to project's approval.
Final release: 60 days time prior to project's approval.
