I’d love to see a future Nothing platform that focuses on fostering engagement but also offers deeply integrated collaboration tools between Nothing and Nothing’s community members to bring us all closer together.
The platform MUST be user-friendly with intuitive navigation, navigation that’s as clean and buttery smooth as navigating NothingOS. Speaking of NothingOS, an App with a host of customizable widgets for said community app is an absolute must have, further enabling the community to engage. The app will need to be responsive and must work across multiple mobile operating systems ensuring community members who may not yet own a Nothing device, can take part and feel equally included.
Fully customizable user profiles that have interactive widgets and avatars would be cool. Customizable bios, links, etc. are important too so members can express themselves.
Some members have already mentioned this but a gamification system with badges/rankings, as well as maybe even a streak system similar to Discord, would really drive engagement across the platform but also would highlight active members that new members could trust as they signup for the community. It would also be a great way for Nothing to reward community members further encouraging participation in Nothing campaigns etc..
Real time messaging built within the platform, along with privatized direct messaging would really elevate the overall experience. Understandably so, real time messaging is quite difficult and not as easy to moderate but it would move many from the Discord to the Nothing platform and it may be necessary in really brining the entire community to the Nothing Community platform, as many of us engage on Discord because it’s real time, easily accessible, familiar to many, and available across multiple devices with rather great moderation in place.
Tools for content creation and easily sharing images and video content specific to highlighting Nothing products throughout the community while providing an outlet for the creative community members out there to share their work.
Powerful search and discovery is an absolute must have as well. As community members we often refer others to the current community or the Discord when they’re experiencing issues with a Nothing product for example. Typically our go to response is please search the Discord/community. Powerful search functionality will help the community members find topics and content easily. Tag systems for tagging and appropriately categorizing content will help organize the content and in some ways help self moderate content shared when leveraging predetermined set tags.
Community member analytics / private summary page to understand the users engagement and overall impact on the platform can help community members see a summary of their content and understand their overall engagement insights.
Accessibility features utilizing many of the accessibility mobile web standards so all users can easily access and take part in the community.
An easily accessible feature / tool where members can provide consistent feedback where Nothing admins can also regularly share updates to the community platform. Maybe even through the ranking system noted above, create a top 10 community member “board” that helps speak for the community in live community feedback sessions held on a regular basis that all community members can join, similar to the great community updates shared on Nothing products.
Just a few ideas that quickly came to mind this morning, now time for more coffee☕! I love seeing all the feedback here already and I can’t wait to see the Nothing Community continue to grow and expand. Looking forward to what’s to come!!!
