GROUP CHAT COMPARISON
○ The current method most people use to get their friends together is some form of group chat.
○ We built Toastie looking to improve some of the drawbacks of planning with a group chat.
○ Heres some of the biggest problems we have addressed:
○ Problem: Plans getting buried in the chat feed.
○ Solution: All invites are displayed clearly on the home screen.
○ Problem: No clear dashboard where you can see your upcoming plans across multiple group chats.
○ Solution: Organised all upcoming activities on a home screen, clearly see the number of people going, whos hosting, dates, and times.
○ Problem: Cant easily distinguish between chat between friends and invites from friends.
○ Solution: Currently, every Toastie notification you receive will be a new invite or a new person attending.
○ Problem: Inviting friends usually means constructing a lengthy paragraph explaining the event details.
○ Solution: Weve simplified the process. We have different fields for activity title, date, time, duration, location, and details. So all you have to do is enter the relevant info.
○ Problem: Usually not all of your friends are in a single group chat, so you have to send multiple invites.
○ Solution: Groups on Toastie have more of a quick select function. This allows you to invite multiple groups to a single activity and as well as add or remove individuals as you see fit.
