Hello community, One of the Mifos GSOC interns will be focused on building a new reference UI for staff on top of Fineract CN that is more geared towards digital banks or neobanks that are focused on individual consumer accounts.
The need is two-fold: 1) The current fims-web-app reference UI on top of Fineract CN is incomplete, unpolished and doesn't serve as a good representation of capabilities of Fineract CN. 2) As more financial inclusion providers focus on individual lending and savings products and more digital banks/neo-banks and fintechs that don't have group or center-based operations explore Mifos and Fineract CN, we'd like to have a reference UI that is more in line with those requirements. We don't want prospective users to come and see the microfinance-centric UI and immediately think that the platform might not be useful for them. To that end, we are seeking input on use cases, navigational workflows, capabilities, UI suggestions, overall user experience from partners, users, individuals who have a need for a more customer-centric UI. We will still follow the Angular Material guidelines but we want to have a clean, simple UI that is more focused on the individual customer and really empowers staff to perform their day to day actions so have it be more activity-driven, notification-based, modular, etc. Please share your thoughts on this thread and reach out so we could set up a call to capture your needs to factor into the design process.

The current reference UI is not polished at all and we don't want to implement a UI that makes the first impression of our software be that of an app to manage microfinance institutions. As we compete more readily with platforms like Mambu it would be valuable to have a client-centric UI that immediately resonates and helps a prospective user see how Mifos I/O/Finerat CN could be used to run a digital bank. This thread is so start gathering the use cases of what this UI should enable and what features it should demonstrate. Our web mentors and UI/UX volunteers will transform these into designs/mockups and then an MVP that we'll provide for the intern(s) to work on. This thread will also help us identify what are the missing APIs and back-end features needed to create this UI. I have included some folks like @James Dailey <[email protected]> and @Vishwas Babu <[email protected]> to give their input on the use cases we should demonstrate. I've made this a post in our WebDev working group on discourse. Please reply on this thread to [email protected] and/or post directly to the discourse topic. https://discourse.mifos.org/g/WebDev I'd like for us to have a threaded discussion that can easily be referenced and that we can move over publicly as needed.
