## KEY FEATURES ##

Activate Your Beacon:

Need help, advice, or planning an event? Post a request for assistance by activating a "Beacon." Describe what you’re dealing with and list Action Items, allowing your network to say “I got you” by hitting a “Volunteer” button. Not sure what to ask for? That’s ok. You can let others add suggested Action Items to your Beacon. You decide what to keep, delete or modify.
Beacons also work as “Offers”. It’s easy to get stuck in our heads when it comes to asking for and receiving help. The next time you know someone in need of a nudge, create a personal offer to let them know you’re serious. They can accept or decline; either way – it feels better than sitting on the sidelines wishing there was something you could do.

Select Your Trusted Community:

First things first: YOU create your network. Relationships can be tricky. That’s why we created permissions with flexibility and discretion in mind. When you invite someone to join your network, they can accept or decline. This does not automatically make you a Supporter of their network - they need to initiate an invite in return.
You can set permissions for each Supporter to indicate if they should see all of your Network Beacons or Limited Access. Supporters with Limited Access can only see Private Beacons if you select to add them.

Keep it private or expand your support circle – the choice is yours. You have full control of who sees what at any given time. This works both ways, too. Time for a little break from someone? Manage the crew you are Supporting by leaving a Beacon, Quietly Leaving someone’s network, or in warranted circumstances - you may Block/Report a user.

Create Your Support Cheat Sheet:

MyBeacon encourages proactive communication by allowing users to create a "how to support me" and "how I like to support others" list. This helps ensure meaningful and efficient assistance. No more guessing games.

Comments, NOT conversations:

We know you didn’t need one more messaging app! Taking action is king with MyBeacon. Beacon members can ask questions, make suggestions or clarify topics in comments; however if part of supporting someone is reaching out for conversations - it’s probably best outside of a text thread. All comments are contained and specific to a Beacon for this reason. No sidebar DM’s in this app. MyBeacon transforms support into an objective focused experience.

Asking is a Gift:

Did you know asking for support isn't a burden; it's an opportunity to let others feel closer to you? We get it, vulnerability can feel risky, but research shows it’s actually perceived by people as a compliment when you trust them enough to let them in! When you light a Beacon, others feel valuable, transforming the act of helping into a meaningful exchange of care and connection.

Track Your Impact:

We think you should know your value and promote balance. More to come! #Datamagic
