| # Civic Web Applications: from Hacks to Maps | |
| --- | |
| # surprise: | |
| ### application design == product design | |
| ---------- | |
| # define the problem: | |
| ###_one is pleeeenty_ | |
| - like any soft product, it should: | |
| - meet a need | |
| - solve a problem | |
| - in short: _remove 'pain'_ | |
| ---------- | |
| # what are the data dependencies? | |
| #### examples: | |
| - is there open data available? | |
| - if you plan to map, is it geospatial? | |
| - if not, is there related geometry available? | |
| - would you/are you able to create it yourself, if not? | |
| - how painful would that it be? | |
| - will you need to manually generate other data? | |
| - can you ask nicely: unreleased gov sets, or privately-held sets | |
| IF NONE OF THE ABOVE, | |
| - can you build your own / automate data collection? | |
| --- | |
| ## Licensing | |
| - if you have data from a private source, what are the terms/licensing? | |
| - are you allowed to charge moneydollars to access? | |
| - derivative works permitted? | |
| - attribution required? | |
| - redistribute publicly? | |
| --- | |
| # Idea validation | |
| - are you the only one feeling this 'pain'? | |
| - [Google Trends](https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=parking&geo=US%2C%20US-PA%2C%20US-PA-504&cmpt=geo&tz=Etc%2FGMT%2B4) | |
| - Reddit: pain points? | |
| - Social Media | |
