Innflux

Innflux is a social networking app intended initially for the Princeton University community. The app facilitates two key functions: planning to go out and actually going out. For planning, the "My Plans" tab displays an interactive table of planned attendees and planned friends. A user can indicate they intend to go to a particular club on a particular night simply by tapping the row. To get more information on a given club, all a user need to do is tap on the information icon, and a new page with club and friend details will be displayed.

Privacy is certainly a big concern here, and there are a few key ways in which a user is protected. First, the app is released initially only for the Princeton University community, so one must be authenticated with an @princeton.edu email. Second, a user defines a handle - or username - that identifies them in the app. If they'd like to connect with friends, they can share their username with others to be added to that person's "Friends List". Only the friends in one's "Friends List" can be identified. Finally, a user may toggle the "Friends" and "Only Me" visibility settings. These toggle whether the user is visible to friends, or only visible to the user him/herself.
