About

TLDR: RateMyProfs for Study Spots.

Mission Statement

We plan to make studying more convenient and comfortable by providing available study spaces for all UBC students.

Planning

Many UBC students encounter the issue of not being able to find a quiet study spot, especially at UBC's most popular library, IKB. So, we have decided to create a platform for students to review and to find their favourite study spot.

Main Student/User Stories:

• As a student/user, I want to filter study spaces by amenities (e.g. power outlets, study rooms, quiet areas), so that I can find a space that meets my specific needs.
• As a student/user, I want to be able to find locations of study space, so that I can find convenient places to study near me.
• As a student/user, I want to rate study spaces on various criteria (e.g., noise level, comfort), so that I can share my experience with others.
• As a student/user, I want to write detailed reviews of study spaces, so that I can provide helpful feedback for other students/users.
• As a student/user, I want to see ratings and reviews of study spaces, so that I can make informed decisions about where to study.
• As a student/user, I want to see the most recent and relevant reviews first, so that I get up-to-date information.
• As a student/user, I want to be able to add new study spaces to the website, so that I can share hidden gems with the community.
• As a student/user, I want to be able to create an account, so that I can write reviews, suggest study spots, and contribute to the community.
• As a student/user, I want to be able to acces the website on mobile devices, so that I can search for and reveiw study spaces on the go.

Roadmap / Planned Features:

• Planned to expand to other Greater Vancouver Area campuses (SFU, BCIT, etc).
• Planned to add study spaces outside of campuses (coffee shops, public libraries, etc).
• Planned to add the ability to bookmark and save a user's favourite study spaces.
• Planned to add an AI chatbot to recommend the best study spots on campus (if enough people support the idea).
• Planned to add more filters and ways to sort study spots and reviews.
