Focus of the Week: Designing a Flexible Registration Experience Week-7

This week, our UI/UX efforts concentrated on creating a registration wireframe tailored for the diverse users of our platform, FoodNextDoor. Our platform connects people who want to share surplus food with those who need it. To support this mission, our design had to consider the needs of both contributors and receivers.

Dual-User Registration Model

We identified two key user types:

  1. Receivers – Community members who look for available food donations.

  2. Contributors – Individuals or organizations offering food to share.

The registration form uses a universal layout, ensuring simplicity regardless of user type. However, users must specify their role early in the process, which tailors their future interactions on the platform.

 Key Design Decisions

  • Shared Fields: Name, email, phone, password, and address are consistent for all users.

  • Role Selection: A dropdown or toggle lets users choose whether they are signing up as a receiver or contributor.

  • Scalability: The wireframe has been designed to support future enhancements such as identity verification, organization badges, or profile linking.

    New Idea Explored

    We’re experimenting with a dual-role account option, allowing users to switch between contributor and receiver without creating separate profiles. This would streamline the user experience for households or individuals who sometimes give and sometimes receive.

Week 6

Student: Prajwal Poudel During this week, I was trying to comprehend the technical and methodological basis of the development of hospital-based data gathering and personnel search system. My main intention was to examine the structure of such systems in the real world and what are the academic frameworks which we can use to shape our thinking. The second step that I took was to go through the Google Scholar literature regarding healthcare systems and software project approaches. One of the most useful sources was an exploration of case study approaches and application of Delphi technique in gathering requirements. These sources have allowed me to learn how to construct a legitimate user-centered system but also the approach that our team should take relating to the implementation of a waterfall model but altered. Also, I helped the team with the preliminary design discussion and paid attention to the structure of the database and the essential characteristics to consider in our sys...
