- Email messages to people about shopping list updates
This is a feature that our group has considered using but with SMS messages as opposed to emails since an SMS can potentially convey information about a shopping list update in a fast manner. Additionally, we can potentially use a reply message to confirm that a person is getting or already purchased a particular shopping list item, and update the webpage accordingly.
- Add comments to events
In our current design, users have the ability to add notes to a particular item. Using comments would be another approach to this idea since it would relate a specific user to a specific comment. This could be a very useful feature down the line, but, at the moment, is not vital to user goals. As such, this may or may not be implemented in our final design.
- Different pages for navigation instead
When we designed our main webpage, we wanted to have our common use cases to be quickly and easily accessible because our users do not want to spend a lot of time on the webpage at any given visit. Multiple webpages would decrease the cognitive load for the user but at the cost of more searching and clicking, which was a route we are hesitant to take.
- Is a quick-add button necessary?
This feature isn't absolutely vital, however, we would like to include this feature for the same reason as above. We want our users to be able to add items to the calendar as quickly as possible. With our current design and after sign-in, a user needs only a single click to add to the calendar with a quick-add button. Thereafter, they can close the browser. This can greatly reduce the amount of time spent on the website giving parents/caretakers more reason to continue to use the site.
