Binty's Black Book 1.1

Binty’s Black Book is an innovative mobile app directory that serves as a platform for businesses, entrepreneurs, and creatives to share insights about their ventures and skills. Users can include their social media handles and facilitate communication between other businesses and consumers. Embracing a cosmopolitan ethos, Binty’s Black Book aims to consolidate contacts into a single, reliable resource.

This application enables businesses to upload important multimedia content, such as videos and images, to enhance their profiles. Entrepreneurs can categorize their operations, specify whether they provide services, and indicate their availability for booking requests. Furthermore, there is an option for businesses to highlight if they are Black-owned, promoting diversity within the directory.

Organized into various categories—such as photography, apparel, fitness, and art—this directory not only centralizes but also amplifies the visibility of a diverse range of entrepreneurs. Additionally, businesses and creatives can contribute to a shared events calendar by adding their hosted events. This feature allows consumers with personal profiles to favorite events, seamlessly integrating them into their in-app calendar. Consumers without business profiles also have the opportunity to create personal profiles featuring both videos and images.

Features:

• Loops: Users can send friend requests or "looping" requests to connect with other consumers or businesses.
• Timeline: Both personal and business profile users share a Timeline where they can post images and videos. This feature allows users to advertise job openings or simply share engaging content.
• The Swap System: This feature facilitates collaboration between businesses. By opting into the swap system, users signal their openness to networking opportunities. They can propose swap pitches, akin to presenting an idea, and engage in discussions when a proposal is accepted.
• Events Calendar: This serves as a central hub where business profile users can add events they are hosting while also favoriting other events. Personal profile users can similarly favorite these events, integrating them into their own profiles.
