Raspberry Teams - The Simple Staff Application Manager v 0.1.0

The quick and pain-free staff application manager (for Minecraft)

Have you ever gotten tired of managing your Minecraft server/network's applications through Discord (or anything else) and having to scroll through hundreds of new messages just to find that one applicant's username?

Wish you had a better application managemet strategy? Well, then Raspberry Teams is for you! It was originally designed and developed for internal use, but sharing is caring! After noticing a worrying lack of "human resources" management systems on SpigotMC's resources section (There was only one outdated/unsupported project), I've decided to take it up into my own terms and start working on it.

Features (not exhaustive)

• Beautiful (customizable in future releases) landing page for your application management center; It displays all available staff ranks
• Contact form on landing page for those un-registerd users
• User registration/authentication system; Users will be sent to the authentication flow to complete their application, if not logged in
• Candidate tracking system - Applicants will be tracked from start to finish.
• Peer approval system - Have all your staff members vote on applications and decide whether they should be accepted (this is overridable)
• Interview scheduling (simple) - Schedule interviews with your candidates and automatically notify them!
  • Interview notes: Every staff member is able to add and edit interview notes (how the interview went, etc)
• Application comments: Finally no more having to go to a private Discord channel just to comment on a single application. Comments are organised neatly for every application! This should help in the decision process of voting for an application.
• User profiles - Fill out your profile for others to better find you
• User directory - Public profile directory for everyone
• Staff rank management - Add/remove ranks on demand, that users will be able to apply to
• Simple form builder - Create your application forms easily!
• Termination - Has a staff member met their untimely demise? Terminate them. This will strip their permissions and roles.
• Controllable permissions - Every user has permissions! Control who has access to what (You can skip the application process and add staff members directly here).
• Ban system - Having trouble with pesky spammers? Ban them! This will publicly shame their profile and keep them from signing up or logging in.
• Notifications: Notifies slack and email primarily

And many more features!

Roadmap

Many other features are currently planned for this app, such as:

• Discord role management (approved applicants)
• Luckperms/PEX integration - For now, you'll have to promote users manually in-game
• Flexibility - This app is built on a flexible concept! It will be able to be used for other purposes other than MC staff members.
• Customisable front page (priority)
• Auto provisioning - Sign up on a website and get your instance of Raspberry Teams up and running in no time
• Suggestions accepted!
