A digital home for an existing community
The public site presents match and player information, conversation, articles and an archive. I’m interested in a space that can hold different kinds of material, rather than just a page of fixtures or a stream of short updates.
What interests me is the relationship between the structured information and the people who care about it. A result, a photograph and an old article can mean different things to someone who has followed the club for years.
Taking the community onto iPhone
I’m developing an iPhone app in alpha, connected to the existing FHingar web community. It brings the conversation into an Icelandic-language app, where supporters can follow posts, add replies and stay involved wherever they are.
A supporter following a match can check the result, read the report and look back at previous meetings between the teams, then carry the conversation into a forum or a message. Articles, galleries and club songs connect that match-day experience with the wider life of the club.
More than another information feed
I want the project to give the community a useful place to gather while keeping its history accessible. That means thinking about how current activity and older material can sit alongside each other, rather than treating everything as something to scroll past.
It is a different kind of project from infrastructure tooling, but it still involves connecting information and making it easier to use.
