Grouple

Background and Overview

Grouple is a web application that allows like-minded Reddit users to chat with other Redditors within a subreddit of choice.

Functionality and MVPs

  • Mobile-first styling allows both mobile and computer users to use the application
  • Reddit users are able to sign in through Reddit's OAuth and access the app directly
  • Information such as a user's subscribed subreddits and accumuluated karma in a specific subreddit received from the Reddit API
  • User profiles and statistics will be recieved from the Reddit API
  • Direct messages in a chatroom will have a single-depth response thread
  • Guests will be able to view a subreddit's chatroom, but will not be able to participate until authenticated
  • User location and timezone will optionally be available for other users to view

Bonus

  • Lazy loading chatroom messages for a smoother user experience and to reduce unnecessary requests
  • Karma related rewards such as avatar and profile borders
  • Proximity chat to contact other like-minded Redditors around you
