  • Citizen scientists helped us collect and analyse samples while learning about synthetic biology.

AIMS

There are a many commercially available solutions for this problem, current products indiscriminately target bacteria on the foot skin microbiome which can have negative effects on skin health and microbiome dynamics. We aim to develop a targeted approach to prevent foot odor, by selectively killing microbes responsible for the biosynthesis of volatile compounds.

Introduction

Ideas are more sexy than sex. Mobile dating apps like Tinder bring people together to explore shared goals. We want to bring this energy to creative people with ideas in science and beyond.

Our idea is Minder: an app to share ideas. Present your idea to the world or find hot new ideas from others. Ideas are expressed in a 140 characters, and navigated with a single touch. See something you like? You can get in touch with the originator or with other Minders who share your interest. When two or more people get together to share ideas, who knows what might happen?

Current features:
- Input, store and browse ideas.
- One touch like, pass, or flag for inaproprate inputs.
- Get more details and contact info when you like an idea.
- See how many people like and dislike your idea.

Planned features:
- Count your likes and rank the popularity of your idea.
- Geolocate active users with ideas near you.
- Text message and chat with idea originators.

Minder cooperates with ideaweave, a web platform for building shared creative projects. Ideas in Minder can become challenges in ideaweave. Ideaweave supports forum discussion, file sharing, and collaborative work tools. Starting with a single touch, Minder can turn one person with an idea into a group of people working together.
You can find the source code for minder on GitHub.


Figure 2. Design concept of Minder's homepage. On this page you can rate ideas and manage all functionalities through a menu.

The Homepage

The homepage of Minder shows you the ideas of other users, one at a time. If you like the idea, click the like button, otherwise select the dislike button. If you think that the idea is not appropriate or is a duplicate of another idea, you can report it with the report button. If you liked an idea, a page with further description of the idea and the contact information of the user who created it appears. On this page, you can select to see the next idea. Minder will only show you ideas that you have not rated yet. If you have seen all ideas in the database, you can select to see old ideas again. By selecting the menu button in the upper left corner of the homepage, you can navigate through the different functionalities of Minder, set tags and language filters for the displayed ideas or log out.


Figure 3. Design concept of Minder's page to create a new idea. On this page you can create a new idea. The idea needs a title and a language, all other information is optional. The created idea will be stored in the database of the ideaweave project.

Create an idea

This page gives you the opportunity to define your idea and to share it with the Minder community. You need to select a title that describes your idea in a short and precise way. Your idea will be rated by the other users based on the title. You should also define the language of your idea and write a short paragraph of additional information. If you want to be contacted by the users who like your idea, you can include your contact information on this page.


Figure 4. Design concept of Minder's page to view your created ideas. This page shows all ideas you created. Selecting an idea will give you more information and enables editing and deletion.

View all your ideas

On this page you can see a list of all the ideas that you have created. Clicking on an idea will open a page with the rating of your idea and the opportunity to edit or delete it. But be careful, editing your idea will erase all rating information on it.
