TAMSHub

TAMSHub was a TAMS-specific social media developed primarily in the summer of 2020. The primary interface was a website, and an app was well into creation by the time the project was abandoned. The dual app-website was submitted for the year's Congressional App Challenge, and won the award for Texas' 26th Congressional District.

It was received with great applause among the TAMS community, but usage died off over a period of about two months after the release. Many wonder as to the reasons for the project's abandonment. Primary considerations include an arguably unintuitive event creation interface and design schema, an unclear distinction as to when to use TAMSHub versus Facebook, and a lack of rapid iteration on the initial release due to the time commitments of the developers. As of February 2021, the TAMSHub website can still be seen at https://hub.mcconnellhall.org/.
