Events

Bridging Digital & Physical Worlds

TL;DR

Events anchor Bitpers in real‑world moments. From road trips to festivals, events provide context and access control for capturing and sharing—and they power both Memory Boards and Murals.


1) What are Events?

Events define a time‑bound context (and optional location/attendance) that routes media to the right boards and murals, with appropriate permissions.

Why it matters: Shared moments deserve shared context—without the chaos of chat threads and random folders.


2) Value Proposition

  • Clear boundaries: Date/time windows auto‑organize media.

  • Right‑sized access: From simple invites to barcode/ticket verification.

  • Better outputs: Event murals and recap boards that just work.

  • Extensible: Layer Collab for votes/polls and Face Hunt for people search.


3) Event Types

  • Simple (Trips/Birthdays): Manual invites; optional RSVP.

  • Moderate (College Fest/Weddings): Invite‑based + barcode presence verification for contributors; viewers allowed.

  • Highly Controlled (Concerts/Festivals): Ticket integration → event key → mural access. Organizer bulk uploads; audience contributions if allowed.


4) Core Features (v1 & v1.1)

  • Creation: Title, dates, optional location; invite list.

  • Access control: Viewer vs contributor; presence verification (barcode) for mid‑tier events.

  • Auto‑routing: Media during event → linked Memory Board and/or Mural.

  • Recaps: Quick share pages and highlight reels.

Polish (v1.1)

  • Organizer dashboards; guest analytics (views, contributions).

  • Smart reminders and nudge flows.


5) Use Cases

  • Friends: Road trip album that builds itself.

  • Families: Wedding recap with curated selects.

  • Organizers: Festival wall + attendee contributions.

  • Brands: Campaign content capture and live polls via Collab.


6) Roadmap (Illustrative)

  • Q1: Core creation, routing, and access controls.

  • Q2: Barcode/ticket integrations; organizer tools.

  • Q3: Featured public event hubs; discovery partnerships.


7) Metrics

  • Event creations; active attendees; contribution rate.

  • % events linked to murals/boards; recap shares.


8) Risks & Mitigations

  • Attendance spoofing: Barcode/ticket verification; device checks.

  • Over‑sharing/noise: Contribution roles and rate limits.

  • Onboarding friction: Templates; one‑tap "Create from calendar dates."


9) Integrations

  • Murals: Event‑specific shared walls.

  • Memory Boards: Auto‑log moments into a story.

  • Collab: Votes, polls, and campaign tools on top of event media.
