Re: Special Committee: Asgardia Mobile Application Development - Community Input  

Hey,

I have read many interesting ideas here, as well as very sensible cautions; however, the latter would have to be put into perspective with the talks going on regarding our need for military forces and such, where it has been argued that we may not need one as long as we do not offend anyone. On Earth, we only seek peace; in space, the "The space nation" title might seem a little belligerant but I have read (and do agree with the fact) that any "offended" nation able to reach us would be advanced enough to know it should not.
The other mentioned negative point is data collection / reduced privacy; that I do not mind, and should I ever start minding, I expect I wouldn't be using any app (or even "smart" phone) by then.

So with that in mind, I would love, knowing the risks, my GPS location be dispatched for neighbouring Asgardia members to potentially spot me so we can have some nice time talking about our new nation! =)

The features I want from a mobile app that has acces to the Asgardia database:
- Location tracking and being able to spot nearby Asgardians.
- A messaging system.
- A way to reach out to important Asgardia people / instances (my local representatives, Asgardia ministries, etc).

Regarding who develops the actual app, it does not have to be Asgardia itself. The way I often see this play out is the government (in this case, Asgardia) sends out a request for proposal then groups / companies able to answer send their proposals; Asgardia then picks one of these and works closely with them to produce the app.

it is a great idea, I think we need to have a tool that can make announcement easier

An app to connect Asgardians would be great. I think a nice addition to the app would be a counter feed that updates every XX number of seconds counting how many Asgardians there are. Also of course, provide news and updates of Asgardia as the new space nation grows and gains traction.

Сделайте встроенный в приложение переводчик, для общения.

Make the application's built-in interpreter to communicate

I think there should be a special circle for everyone.Through this circle, we us will be connected to each other.And these circles form a larger circle, eventually all the people connected. Although we are based on Space,we should have a home for our own.Now thanks to the Internet,we could build a virtual world or a virtual city for us.I know today computer technology still have a lot to develop,but in the future,it maybe a strong power,While VR or others became more and more ripen. The app should have strict political structure.Everyone could find his position.And Everyone could get goals and direction in it.

Hello!

Thank you everyone for your input on this thread. You have given us quite a bit of input on this initiative and what Asgardian's seem to want for a mobile application.

We will be closing this topic so it can be compiled into a document for the committee to review and put together a proposal for Asgardia Official.

If you would like to volunteer to be on the committee, please see the topic in this forum for instructions on how to apply.

Kind regards,
Rebekah Berg, Lead Community Administrator, Asgardia
