Product Roadmap
Keep it Simple Stupid has been the theme thus far. But, there are plenty of good ideas in my head, and even more rolling in thanks to everyone's feedback. I hope that by sharing the vision of where this site is heading you will see that there are some exciting times ahead.
As new ideas come in I will put them at the top of this page, and occassionaly post a News item telling folks to check out the latest Roadmap.
Allow News to be Sent Via Email
Users should be able to receive updates in email when key events happen. For example, if you register/claim a domino, once the claim is approved it would be good to know that. Or, if a new feature is release, etc.
PLANNED RELEASE: alpha-2
Improve The Topple Page
The Topple Page needs to explain better what a topple is, the history beind the topple, ways to help.
PLANNED RELEASE: alpha-1
Cool Visualization of the Topples
As dominoes move from one person to another, and spawn "children", it would be great to be able to see a birds eye view of the topple in motion.
PLANNED RELEASE: beta-1
See the Tipping Comment when registing your domino
When a domino is tipped, the current owner writes a message about the experience. Little love notes as the domino is flicked over and someone else picks up the momentum of the topple. Right now that information is added as a journal entry to the domino, but not visiable in the registration process. It should be.
PLANNED RELEASE: alpha-2
Graphical Representation of a Topple
The table that shows all the dominoes in the topple is about as basic as it can be. Over time, the visualization of the topple spreading, forking, etc. will be a central part of "coolness" of this site.
PLANNED RELEASE: alpha-2
Integration with Google Maps
A common mashup these days. Will show where the dominoes are located.
PLANNED RELEASE: alpha-2
Avitars
What's a social network without picutures?
PLANNED RELEASE: alpha-1
Create Your Own Topple
Right now only the administrator can create topples. That's not a problem at this stage since anyone can just ask for a topple to be created. However, one of the main points of the website is to allow others to create topples and get dominoes moving for a purpose all their own.
PLANNED RELEASE: beta-1
Add Comments/Journals and URLs To Topples
As the site evolves the Topple Profile pages take center stage. This is where people will discuss all kinds of things related to the purpose of that topple. So, I expect the Topple Profile page to be much more dynamic, including turning into a ongoing discussion complete with an RSS feed.
PLANNED RELEASE: beta-1
News Filters and Notifications
Right now all news is good news. Over time you will be able to control the news you recieve. For example, "Just tell me when something happens to a domino in one of my topples", "Send me email if a friend creates a new topplet", etc. My inspiration for this part of the site is Facebook. They do a great job with this kind of thing.
