• 

  Full-duplex or non-linear conversation among people or businesses

• 

  Simplex or linear conversation among people or businesses

Inspiration

Eleutherios solves the digital inclusiveness problem of enabling 7.9 billion people or businesses to connect or serve one another at scale, through the same forum, customer request or conversation.

What it does

Normally, when a customer creates a request for a product or service? Each of their subsequent requests are created separately, from one another.

Forum (More face masks)
-- Service (Healthcare worker)
-- Service (Zhizang face masks)
Forum(Pickup + drop off)
-- Service (Zhizang face masks)
-- Service (Fastpost couriers)
Forum(Egg salad and chips)
-- Service (Fastpost couriers)
-- Service (Bobs grocery store)

Eleutherios, changes this by scaling the customer's request, so that each subsequent request is created non-separately or as child.

Forum(More face masks)
-- Service (Healthcare worker)
-- Service (Zhizang face masks)
-- Forum((Pickup + drop off)
---- Service (Zhizang face masks)
---- Service (Fastpost couriers)
---- Forum (Egg salad and chips)
------ Service (Fastpost couriers)
------ Service (Bobs grocery store)

People or businesses, connect or serve one another at scale by subscribing to the relevant forum, customer request or conversation.

How I built it

Eleutherios is built with a real-time pub/sub, node.js, nosql (Firestore) backend and an HTML/CSS (Angular) frontend.

Features:

• Forum in forum (scalability)
• Tags for filtering forums or services (search)
• Alerts to keep end users informed, when new forums or services are created in the system (notifications)
• Blocking to prevent unwanted services or users from serving in forums, they have been asked not to serve in or for requesting services, they have been asked not to request (accountability)
• Service ratings/reviews (trust)
• Payments (resilience)
• Shared process or manifest (redundancy)
• AI (automation)
