[Beta] Introducing Gametize Discussions

Hello Gametize Creators!

We are pleased to introduce a new feature on our platform: Discussions. 

Understanding the Need for Discussions

We recognized a need for a space where users can have more open and varied conversations. While our current features like Topic/Challenge comments and Activity Feed are valuable, they are more structured. Discussions are designed to fill this gap, offering a space for freer interaction.

Our Goals with Discussions

Our objective with introducing Discussions is straightforward:

• To provide a space for users to interact in a more relaxed manner.
• To allow discussions on a variety of topics without strict categorization.
• To maintain our unique approach to gamification, making interactions enjoyable.
• To improve engagement with features such as mentions, tagging, and a user-friendly search function.

What are Discussions?

Discussions are our way of creating a digital "warehouse" where you can freely explore and contribute to a wide range of topics. Unlike the more structured Topic/Challenge comments and Activity Feed, Discussions offer a relaxed environment for user interaction.

Key Features of Discussions:

1. User Interaction: A relaxed environment for sharing ideas and engaging with others.
2. Flexible Topics: Freedom to discuss a wide range of subjects.
3. Gametize Flair: Gamification elements add an element of fun to every comment.
4. Enhanced Engagement: Tools like mentions and tagging for better community interaction.

Discussions Content Hierarchy:

• Discussions: The main hub for all posts in a project.
• Boards: Individual segments for classifying posts.
• Categories: Function like labels to distinguish post types.
• Posts: User-created content with titles, descriptions, and images.

How to Access Discussions:

• Find the new Discussions button from the Hamburger Button on your project page to enter Discussions.

• Access Discussions directly from Topics or Challenges for content-specific filters.

**Please note, as this feature is in its beta phase and available only on Gametize App 2.0 and the Web App (Playground), we are keen to hear your feedback to refine and improve it. Your input is invaluable as we prepare for the full launch.

We believe Discussions will be a valuable addition to our platform, offering a more inclusive and dynamic way for our community to engage and connect.

We encourage you to explore this new feature and look forward to your contributions and interactions.
