Community-Made Interactive Guides

Build a site for community members to run, submit, comment, and vote on routines that guide proposers through the entire business process.

Project Catalyst is an amazing tool for funding projects and networking, but many of us know how difficult it is to get started. If there was a tool that guided new entrepreneurs through the entire process - from the moment of creating an idea, to the execution of your funded proposal - then it would be much more appealing. The best way to accomplish this is through "visual work routines".

A routine is the process for completing a specific task. A work routine completes productive tasks, such as creating a business outline, deciding on a budget, and generating a proposal. A visual work routine is an interactive tool that guides users through the process of completing a task, with descriptions and guides along every step of the way. By combining visual work routines, we as a community can converge on an optimal routine that's designed for the entire entrepreneurship process. Vrooli is an open-source project set out to make this vision a reality.

Defining Success

This proposal is for the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) of Vrooli, which is a website with the following features:

• Creating and editing routines
• Commenting and voting on routines
• Viewing and stepping through routines in an intuitive way
