Screen Description: After the application is started on any mobile phone , the start screen is shown next. (left side) It shows the title of the app and tries to communicate that everyone with an idea can use it. All ideas are welcome for reflection. After that the user is presented with the main screen of the app (right side on both images). Here, one can see all posts created by the people using this app. By default , it shows most popular posts on top, but they can also be ranked by other criteria. These categories can be: region, organisation, time, alphabet, collaboration interest, etc.. Popularity of a post is measured by the number of likes or dislike it gets. Collaboration interest Interest in controversial discussion or contraversity collaboration could be measured by the number and type of comments under a post. Every entry can be hidden and with that removed fromthe list.<br />

Screen Description: The first screen shows how it could possibly look like when people open a post (left side). For simplicity , it is intended that posts only consist of max. one image a short description and maybe a link for more information. A post can be rated by likes or dislikes. As the app is there to create a community with connections as a network of entrepreneurial and innovative people, it is possible to link the likedIn LikedIn profile with the YIC app. Every post is tagged with the name and contact information of the person who created it.
We want to start with the following steps:
===Next steps===
'''[1] Demand inquiry:''' To find out if there is a real demand we want to build a test product and create a small study if people would seriously use the app.
'''[2] Sponsoring:''' Even if it's as simple as this one, a lot of recourses are necessary for the creation and maintenance of an app like this. Therefore , huge financial help is needed to carry out the project.
'''[3] Development:''' The development of the app is the central part of bringing the product to the students and other people who might contribute to the app.
'''[4] Advertisement:''' To reach a huge community and make people actually use is, it is of important relevance to start off with strong advertisement of for our product. With this strategy we are able to create a waterfall which reaches not only people from TUHH, but also other communities from the city, the entire country or even get an international standing in a best case scenario.
'''[4] Feedback, Conclusion, Improvement:''' By gathering feedback on the user experience of the app or starting a (regular) survey it is possible to measure the impact of our product over time and classify how well it has been adapted by real life users, students or other I&E interested people.
===Strategic priorities===
'''[1] Development Power:''' The mobile app as the central point of the product musst must be developed and maintained during the process. Therefore For this we'd need a lot of professional (voluntary?) man power.
'''[2] Funding:''' The development of the app, maintenance as well as advertisement costs a lot of money. Therefore , it is necessary to find sponsors or investors that believe in the app idea. ...possibly in exchange for a good standing?
'''[3] Advertisement:''' To get the peoples people's attention advertisement can not be avoided. This is essential to get the potential users user's attention. For this it is advantageous to use already existing channels at university as a start point.
'''[4] Point out App benefits:''' Make sure the user can easily realise what value and benefits he:she has by using the app and highlight it, e.g. when advertising.
