User Stories
- As a user, I want to be able to gauge the overall “pulse” or mood of the UNC subreddit to see how the UNC community is reacting to events surrounding them.
- As a moderator, I want to be able to easily sort through each post and user within the UNC subreddit so that I can filter out any abnormal activity that goes against community guidelines.
- As a user, I want to be able to easily scroll through posts that are provided in the UNC subreddit to read about popular topics that are going on through UNC’s campus and the community, so that I can stay up to date on what is happening.
- As a student who is currently not on campus, I want to be able to see posts about current events on campus so that I don’t miss out on what I would experience on campus.
- As a first-time user, I want to be able to understand the function of the website at a glance.
- As a user, I want to be able to see and navigate directly to specific posts and authors that attract high attention, both positive and negative.
