1. Core Features: User Interface (UI):

QR Code Access: Each event generates a unique QR code that attendees can scan, bringing them directly to the event's question page. Simple Question Submission: Attendees can submit questions with minimal clicks. Consider a simple form with fields like "Question," "Name (optional)," and "Affiliation (optional)." Upvoting System: Implement an upvoting feature so that attendees can vote for questions they want answered, ensuring that the most relevant or popular questions rise to the top. Anonymous Posting Option: Allow users to ask questions anonymously if they prefer. Event Organizer Interface:

Moderation Tools: Organizers should have the ability to moderate questions (approve, reject, or edit). This could be done manually or with the aid of AI tools to filter inappropriate content. Question Curation: Organizers can group similar questions or highlight specific ones they want to address. Real-Time Analytics: Provide insights into the number of questions submitted, upvotes, user engagement, etc. Notification System:

Question Status Updates: Attendees receive notifications if their question is selected, answered, or if it receives significant upvotes. Push Notifications: If the event spans multiple days or sessions, push notifications can remind users to submit or upvote questions. 2. Technical Considerations: Backend:

Database Management: You’ll need a robust database to manage users, events, questions, upvotes, and event-specific data. Scalability: Ensure that the app can handle high traffic, especially during large events with thousands of attendees. Consider using cloud services like AWS or Google Cloud for scalable infrastructure. Real-Time Updates: Use technologies like WebSockets or server-sent events (SSE) for real-time question submissions and upvotes. Frontend:

Responsive Design: The app should be optimized for mobile devices since most attendees will likely use their smartphones to interact with it. Intuitive Design: Ensure that the app is user-friendly with a clean interface. The focus should be on ease of use, especially for non-tech-savvy attendees. Security:

Data Privacy: Protect user data with encryption, especially if you’re collecting personal information. Authentication: Implement security measures to prevent spamming or malicious activity. CAPTCHA, OAuth, or social media logins could be used. Integration:

Event Management Software: Consider integrating with existing event management platforms like Eventbrite or Cvent for seamless user experience. Social Media: Allow attendees to share questions or event insights on social media directly from the app. 3. User Experience Considerations: Onboarding:

Seamless Onboarding: Minimize the steps needed to start using the app. For example, after scanning the QR code, users should be able to submit a question within seconds. Guided Experience: Provide a brief tutorial or tooltips on first use to guide users through the process. Engagement:

Gamification: Add elements like badges or leaderboards for the most upvoted questions to encourage participation. Post-Event Interaction: Allow attendees to see the answers or discussion after the event, perhaps even opening up a post-event discussion forum. 4. Advanced Features (Future Considerations): AI-Driven Insights: Use AI to suggest similar questions or highlight the most relevant ones based on keywords or sentiment analysis. Multilingual Support: Implement real-time translation features to accommodate international audiences. Event Recap: Post-event, provide a summary of the questions asked and answered, perhaps with links to recorded answers or sessions. 5. Deployment and Testing: Beta Testing:

Conduct beta tests during smaller events to gather feedback and identify potential issues before a broader launch. Feedback Loop:

Implement a feedback mechanism within the app to continuously improve based on user and organizer input. 6. Legal Considerations: Terms of Service & Privacy Policy: Ensure you have clear terms of service and a privacy policy, especially if handling personal data. Compliance: Ensure your app complies with relevant laws and regulations, such as GDPR if you’re operating in Europe.
