Early-Access Testing

At Gravity Platforms Inc., we are creating a better social media/entertainment alternative that treats you like a person rather than a product. We want to make our app the best it can possibly be, so we’re building a diverse community of Early-Access Testers to help us improve our work. Participants will provide feedback on iterations of our innovative features and share meaningful insights on their social media experiences, receive first access to our Beta, and exclusive profile verification status at launch.

We want to be as honest and transparent as possible about what your role would entail, so we've provided details on the subsequent pages of this website. Feel free to send any further questions you have to testing@gravityplatforms.com

Responsibilities

We respect your time, so we structured our testing to be as efficient as possible so that you can fit us into your busy schedule.

  1. Complete one Google Form per week

    • Provide feedback on the week's feature test by answering questions, dominantly multiple choice or selection-based.

    • A FocusGroupIt will be linked at the end of the Google Form, where Testers will post a short answer to a given question about the week's feature test:

      • Testers will be able to read each other's responses.

      • Testers will be encouraged to interact with each other's responses.

    • Some weeks may not have a feature test, in which case Testers will be notified accordingly.

  2. Read our Messages

    • We will send a limited number of messages to Testers en masse on a regular basis.

      • We minimize the amount of communication we send as a courtesy to our Testers and hope that -- in return -- the messages we do send will be read.

Communication

We don't want to spam you, so we set clear expectations about the frequency of our messages.

  • Contact Methods

    • Mass messages to Testers will be sent via text (Textiful) and email (SendGrid).

      • Onboarding information and weekly information will be sent via email.

      • Each week's Google Form + Instructions will be sent via text.

        • Up to one additional text will be sent each week in order to communicate minor updates, if necessary.

    • Direct messages to individual Testers will be rare and only be sent if necessary. That being said, Testers will be able to contact us at any time with questions or any other inquiries.

Onboarding

We'll help you get set up before you begin, and we'll always be available if you have questions along the way.

  • Personal Device Setup

    • Early-Access Testers will download an app on their personal devices. Through this app, they will be able to access the latest feature test; the app will update automatically when an update is available.

    • Your privacy will be secure: The app is managed by a reputable third-party organization, and our feature test runs and updates within it-- we won't be able to access any information outside the app.

  • Confidentiality Agreement

    • Our ideas are innovative, and along with that comes a risk of having them stolen.

    • You will be asked to sign an agreement -- it will be straightforward, and won't ask anything of you that isn't strictly necessary to preserve our intellectual property.

    • We believe in transparency -- so if you'd like us to clarify any aspect of the agreement or its implications, we'd be happy to do so.

Many of our team members have already invested our own money and volunteered hundreds of hours of labor towards reaching this point. We believe strongly in the potential of this company and our ability to succeed, and we hope you'll submit an application to become a part of it.
