Updating a user interface based on proximity data of users of a communication platform
Using proximity data to update user interfaces for users of a communication platform is described. The communication platform can determine, for a first user of the communication platform, a first location of the first user and for at least a second user of the communication platform, a second location of the second user. Based at least in part on a determination that the first location and the second location satisfy a condition, the communication platform can cause a user interface of the communication platform to be updated, wherein the updated user interface indicates at least one of (i) proximity data associated with the first user and the second user or (ii) context data associated with at least one of the first user or the second user.
1. A method, implemented at least in part by a computing device of a group-based communication platform, comprising:
determining, for a first user of the group-based communication platform, a first location of the first user;
determining, for at least a second user of the group-based communication platform, a second location of the second user; and
based at least in part on a determination that the first location and the second location satisfy a condition, causing a user interface of the group-based communication platform to be updated by causing an order of one or more features of the group-based communication platform that are associated with the first user and the second user to be rearranged, wherein the user interface, after being updated, indicates at least one of (i) proximity data associated with the first user and the second user or (ii) context data associated with at least one of the first user or the second user.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the condition comprises a threshold distance, and wherein the determination that the condition is satisfied is based at least in part on a second determination that the first location and the second location are within the threshold distance.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the condition is associated with a geofence, and wherein the determination that the condition is satisfied is based at least in part on a second determination that the first location and the second location are within the geofence.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the condition is associated with a particular location, and wherein the determination that the condition is satisfied is based at least in part on a second determination that the first location and the second location are the particular location.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
based at least in part on the determination that the condition is satisfied, accessing a plurality of task items associated with the first user; and
causing the user interface to be updated further based at least in part on a second determination that a task of the plurality of task items is associated with the second user, wherein the user interface, after being further updated, indicates the at least one of the proximity data or the context data, wherein the proximity data indicates that the second user is proximate the first user, and wherein the context data indicates that the task is associated with the second user.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface, after being updated, includes an affordance to enable at least one of the first user or the second user to generate a virtual space associated with the first user and at least the second user.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the context data comprises an indication of a virtual space with which the first user and the second user are both associated, and wherein the virtual space comprises a channel or a direct message.
8. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
determining, for a first user of a group-based communication platform, a first location of the first user;
determining, for at least a second user of the group-based communication platform, a second location of the second user; and
based at least in part on a determination that the first location and the second location satisfy a condition, causing a user interface of the group-based communication platform to be updated by causing an order of one or more features of the group-based communication platform that are associated with the first user and the second user to be rearranged, wherein the user interface, after being updated, indicates at least one of (i) proximity data associated with the first user and the second user or (ii) context data associated with at least one of the first user or the second user.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the condition comprises a threshold distance, and wherein the determination that the condition is satisfied is based at least in part on a second determination that the first location and the second location are within the threshold distance.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the condition is associated with a geofence, and wherein the determination that the condition is satisfied is based at least in part on a second determination that the first location and the second location are within the geofence.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the condition is associated with a particular location, and wherein the determination that the condition is satisfied is based at least in part on a second determination that the first location and the second location is the particular location.
12. The system of claim 8 , the operations further comprising:
based at least in part on the determination that the condition is satisfied, accessing a plurality of task items associated with the first user; and
causing the user interface to be updated further based at least in part on a second determination that a task of the plurality of task items is associated with the second user, wherein the user interface, after being further updated, indicates the at least one of the proximity data or the context data, wherein the proximity data indicates that the second user is proximate the first user, and wherein the context data indicates that the task is associated with the second user.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the user interface, after being updated, includes an affordance to enable at least one of the first user or the second user to generate a virtual space associated with the first user and at least the second user.
14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the context data comprises an indication of a virtual space with which the first user and the second user are both associated, and wherein the virtual space comprises a channel or a direct message.
15. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
determining, for a first user of a group-based communication platform, a first location of the first user;
determining, for at least a second user of the group-based communication platform, a second location of the second user; and
based at least in part on a determination that the first location and the second location satisfy a condition, causing a user interface of the group-based communication platform to be updated by causing an order of one or more features of the group-based communication platform that are associated with the first user and the second user to be rearranged, wherein the user interface, after being updated, indicates at least one of (i) proximity data associated with the first user and the second user or (ii) context data associated with at least one of the first user or the second user.
16. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the condition comprises a threshold distance, and wherein the determination that the condition is satisfied is based at least in part on a second determination that the first location and the second location are within the threshold distance.
17. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the condition is associated with a geofence, and wherein the determination that the condition is satisfied is based at least in part on a second determination that the first location and the second location are within the geofence.
18. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the condition is associated with a particular location, and wherein the determination that the condition is satisfied is based at least in part on a second determination that the first location and the second location are the particular location.
19. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , the operations further comprising:
