Magazine Side

This side generates content. You can think of the magazine as a company. Posts are made in the name of the magazine.

Users

• The magazine has one admin.
• There are moderators who create content specifically for the magazine.
• There are writers who create content specifically for the magazine.

The magazine can share posts individually or, if desired, compile posts under a magazine issue and publish them as a complete magazine. Everyone in the magazine can share posts on behalf of the magazine, but these will be published only after approval from the higher-ups. Admins and moderators can create elements related to posts (titles, topics, moderators' comments) and assign them to writers.

Use Cases

Magazine Side

1. The magazine owner (admin) creates the magazine.
2. The admin can send invitations for moderation or writing to any user.
3. If the invitations are accepted, the user becomes a moderator or writer within the magazine (they can share posts on behalf of the magazine).
4. The post is published.

Publishing a Post

1. A moderator or admin writes details about the post and can assign it to any writer. The writer sends the post to the moderator or admin for approval once the writing is complete. After approval, the post is published. If not approved, the writer may have a reject page where the post will be sent.
2. A writer writes the desired post. After writing, they send it to the admin or moderator for approval. If approved, the post is shared. If not approved, the writer may have a reject page where the post will be sent.

Publishing a Magazine

Posts that have gone through the same processes as publishing are received by the magazine side with approval. They can sort posts internally. After clicking the "Share Magazine" button, the magazine issue is published.

User Side

This side consumes content. Users have interests, subscribed magazines, and followed writers and moderators. Users have a timeline. Users can participate in post threads (e.g., Reddit or StackOverflow). Notifications are received when subscribed magazines, writers, or moderators share something.

Use Cases

1. The user logs in.
2. The timeline displays posts from followed moderators, writers, or magazine subscriptions.
3. The user views a post and goes to the post details.
4. The user starts a thread (discussion) under the post.
5. The user can upvote others' discussions.
