Peer Support: A Peer-based Goal Management Web Application
Peer Support allows individuals to track their long-term goals and the friends who support them in achieving these goals. Individuals can also track how they are supporting their friends. The web application will be developed on the Facebook platform.
I am looking for 10 participants to help me flesh out the design of the application. Email me at bao@yellowtailshark.com if you wish to become a participant in this project. I have my 10 guinea pigs already. But if you still want to help, message me and I will put you on a waiting list.
Current Needs
- A list of 10 long-term or mid-term goals from you.
- Once we compile 100 goals, look through them and select which ones you want to support (it doesn't matter if you know the person or not) and describe how can you help them.
