Post Number Three - The System Unit

My idea is a scouting database for college and professional basketball. The app allows people to be the "expert" and post their analysis and rankings of players. The best analysis are shared on a home screen as well as pictures from games posted on Instagram and basketball scouting-related articles. The user rankings allow users to follow a players career through a flowchart that consists of rankings and advanced metric statistics.

For this given topic, because this app is adaptable to different platforms, it would be able to be used on different system units. The app could be used on mobile devices, tablets, and really anything with an internet connection.

Because it's an application used for multiple devices, I'm not exactly sure what I should include in this post, but I'll take a trial run. Because it's a mostly user-generated content app, whatever system unit the app is on needs to have a keyboard. This would allow the user to create content and not just read. Reading wouldn't allow the exchange of words that the sites bases its craft off of.

It's also important to note that it would have to be especially designed for certain uses on phones and tablets. People have a hard time reading on their phones, so the design would have to be built so that it wouldn't be an issue. There obviously would be no need for webcams or microphones or speakers. The beauty of the app is that it's simple. It's mostly user-created content which means there's no need to instill webcams or anything messy into the initial ideas. However, it's important to let it develop though.
