Here’s what the discussion was going around when I walked in to my mates one evening.
One of them is building an app. An app related to the game of football, which got my attention.
The overall blueprint of the user flow for the app goes like register, add users, create team, create tournament, organize matches, monetize so on and so forth.
What I found myself was right in the middle of solving, ‘Who can create a team?’
And should there be a middle ground to add another category of ‘a Captain or an Organizer’.
For most of the discussion I remained silent as I was the last one to arrive and didn’t wanted to interrupt the thought flow.
It was natural of them to throw a pool of different perspectives to come up with a solution. Or at least somehow fit in a space for ‘Organizer or so’ somewhere.
