Title basically says it all. App that allows you to join a group of people to go outside. I think this could be very popular with lots of people who are unhappy at work and want to connect with others with similar interests. Or parents who want to find other parents to drop their kids off with. Or just people to travel with. <br><br>Each group would have a "scorer" (ratio of people who actually followed through on planning vs cancelled). Both the group and individual would have a scorer. So when a group is scheduled you would see all the members and their scorers. If a group has a 70% score. It would likely be cancelled 30% of the time. Individuals could also have a scorer. If you create a group but never follow through, you may not be able to create groups for 60 days (for example). If your score was 0% for 30 days or more. <br><br>Also, you could have a "scorer" for messaging. If you send too many messages in a short span of time in a group, you could be kicked from a group. You could have a limit of 100 characters per message. So if you go over that limit, you can't send another message for 10 minutes. <br><br>Each group could have a limit on the number of people in it. So if 50 people join a group, you can't join it anymore. If you want to allow more people to join your group, you would have to promote your group. You could promote it by creating a social media account, reaching out to local newspapers, posting it on websites, etc. <br><br>You could have different categories for groups. Sports, outdoor activities, hobbies, travel, etc. You could also have random categories too. A group could be created just to go to some random restaurant. Or to get a drink and watch a football game together. Or to go bowling. Go visit a local museum. Go to a local park. Go to a movie. Maybe there would be a way to see how many groups are in each category. That way you can tell which types of groups are most popular and create more of those groups. <br><br>The app would also be popular for people who are lonely, so the app could have a "safety" feature that requires a minimal amount of people in a group in order for the group to carry out the plans. So if a group is scheduled, but 2 people cancelled, the group wont happen if those 2 people are required. <br><br>Also, if you snooze or sleep through too many reminders, your scorer could be negatively impacted. You could also have a "slept through" counter. If you slept through 30 reminders, your "slept through" number could be 30. Or you could have a "snooze" counter. If you snooze too many reminders, your snooze number could go up. If your snooze number is too high, you could be banned from the app. Or you could have to pay a fee (5 dollars, for example). I don't know the best way to make people show up, but I think making them pay money would be a good strategy. <br><br>You could make an app like this to help people find other people to travel with too.
