You should have some sense of who the users are and what they would use. You're building it for them, not for your own convenience - what would they prefer?

Thanks for your answer. Indeed! I'm not sure, the main mission of my idea is to offer homeless/refugees a way of connecting to other people (it could be just for chatting or for meeting and offering some jobs in order to allow them to integrate).

The main problem here is that these people won't have an easy access to the internet so it might be easier a website but otherwise I think an app would be more suitable.

(probably worth go to the streets and ask them).

All the refugees I've met have mobile phones and use Facebook for connecting with other people just like everyone else.
