ForSpo is a service for gathering participants for games and pieces of training

The most convenient and fastest way to call a team for a game. The problems of organizers and captains have been significantly reduced with the launch of the automated player collection service.

Main Idea & The Task

Every day in the world, millions of people come together on sports grounds to play football, basketball, ride a skateboard or just go to a cafe to play mafia.

Often, gathering a couple of dozen people requires a lot of effort, communication, and a lot of calls. And if you also need to chip in at the gym, it becomes difficult.

To simplify this task - this was the idea of the application.

Solution

First of all, it was decided that the application should work on all types of devices so that all participants can use it.

A list of tasks that have to be solved in the process of organizing such joint meetings was compiled, as well as all the options for the necessary functionality were collected.

Implementation

Answers from participants: Yes, No, I don’t know;
Named lists: Go, Refuse, Change their minds, No answer, Not included in the composition;
Automatic notification of participants about any changes in the Event: changing the start time, venue, or cancellation of the event;

The opportunity for the player to change his mind at any time before the set deadline or the start of the event;
Possibility for the Administrator to register the player on his own;

Order The MVP

MVP is a minimum viable product. This version of the mobile application should be simple, fast, easy, test the hypothesis that arose for the implementation of the project. A startup is either fast or dead.
