VibeCast aims to be the premier "lifestyle forecast" application, merging weather data with cultural context (music, fashion, dining). This document outlines the roadmap for transforming VibeCast from a prototype into a robust, personalized, and socially engaging platform.
2. Goals & Objectives
User Engagement: Increase daily active usage by providing personalized and socially shareable content.
Data Authenticity: Transition from mock data to real-time, accurate API integrations.
Scalability: Modernize the architecture to support effective scaling and cross-platform native-like experiences.
3. User Stories
As a User, I want to see dining recommendations with real ratings and open hours so that I can make informed decisions.
As a User, I want my music suggestions to be tailored to my personal taste (e.g., Rock vs. Jazz) so that the vibe feels authentic to me.
As a Commuter, I want to see a 5-day forecast of "vibes" and outfits so I can plan my week.
As a Social User, I want to share a "Daily Vibe" card on Instagram to express my mood and surroundings.
