Development of a Responsive Webapp for a Hashtag-based PIM System

Hash5 is an approach, developed by the DBIS Research Group at the University of Innsbruck, to use concepts of social media within an information management system. Different everyday relevant information should be stored in plaintext without predefined structure and only grouped and annotated by the user with hashtags and mentions.

Within this work a new web client was designed and developed to ensure an easy and unrestricted access to this system. A flexible and modular architecture was prioritized to allow extensions in the future. In order to optimize processes for users in everyday usage, the webapp supports multiple devices through a resposive design and especially focus on usability.
