The first version of the Home page is live on our private server. Our baby is born.
App design
In sprint #1, our focus in on the Home page and the Person page of Research mode.
Lisa has designed the appearance and functionality of the page.
Fraser implements the functional elements of the design before we embellish the page with colors, fonts, graphics, animations, etc.
This is the current design of the home page for the desktop:
and for mobile:
Creative writing
The first writer’s conference took place on Oct 24th. André fielded questions and the team discussed various aspects of the writing process.
Each written piece represents an original new exposition of a Person, Location, Topic or Relationship from part IV of The Urantia Book.
In essence, we are writing a whole Wikipedia only about the life and teachings of Jesus.
Data curation
The team is continuing to add connections between the nodes and improve the quality of the model. We are also starting to add tags which will be used in the app.
For example, by tagging all the 12 apostles with the tag “Apostle”, when the user in the app clicks on this tag, they will be directed to a search results page with all the “nodes” that have this tag.
We need your help
As you can imagine, this is a huge project but we have a team of enthusiastic Urantia students working on it. Lisa is creating the pages, functionality, and the look and feel of the Jesus Metaverse App. Fraser will make the app work on smart phones, tablets, and computers in both Apple and Android. This is our next fund raising challenge, but it will be the final major step to bring this project to completion.
We are estimating that we will need $60,000 for the app developers.
