Viade - Decentralized Routes

Introduction

The goal is to create Viade, a decentralized routes management system based on the solid specifications.

The system will be developed by teams of 5-8 students as part of their Software Architecture course using the React framework.

High level requirements

• The system will be based on a decentralized architecture where data storage is separated from the app.
• Users can store their routes in their own pods.
• Users can view the routes stored on a map.
• The app will allow a user to share pictures, videos or information about a route with other friends.
  
• A user can get notifications when some friend shares a route with him.
  
• Users can have groups of friends with whom they may want to share a route
• It should be possible to view routes loaded by users that are using a different app, so interoperability with other route management systems should be taken into account.

Optional features

• The system could work on a mobile device
• Users can share their routes while they are doing the routes
  

Inrupt challenge

• Ease of use by non-technical people
• Responsiveness of the application
• Online independence: no central control of data
• Security and privacy: no vulnerability points
• Aesthetics and friendliness of the application
• Originality of the solution
• Usability of technical documentation
• Interoperability with similar Solid apps
