Snake Apps?

As a breeder myself and a programmer I feel I'm in a unique position to create something useful

the free app for tracking shed, eating, vet visits, weight, behavior, defecation, physical abnormality, etc. will be supported by an advertisement based system. The advertisement system will be small and only used to support back end operations, (servers, updates etc.)


"among other things"

I plan on making a secure marketplace with a payment system similar to Paypal with payment plan options to be set by seller (autopay, etc.).
- buy (no trade offers will be allowed here)
- sell
- trade
- the ability to offer less with a 1 click deny or accept for seller. I plan on making a back end minimum accepted amount so the seller will only receive this if the minimum is met. Otherwise the offer will be auto rejected on a delay so people would not be able to keep offering until the minimum is met, essentially "masking" the minimum.
- possibly an auction type system where 1 click buy and bid system would be incorporated similar to e-bay (this would depend on funding as the programming gets quite complex here)

secure transaction loans
- Requests for loaned animals
- post animals available for loan. A "rental fee" etc. may be set by loaner (i know rental fee sounds cold as we all love our animals but i couldn't think of another term at the moment)
- Deposits (set by lender and enforced by the site) to make it easier to lend a snake with less worry as well as protecting the buyer as the deposit is never in the hands of the lender it is held by 3rd party.
- the ability to view your loans status via the lendee's tracking (also the ability to charge fees for not appropriately updating the status of snakes that are loaned to you, pics if required etc., to be set by lender, and paid to the lender)
- i have many ideas on this that are yet to be hashed out.

with the above 2 items there will most likely be some sort of % based payment to the site, as there would be no way to keep it going without a viable income stream. The % will be small such as 5 cents on the dollar or less

This will support tech support, server maintenance, customer service, banking fees, hosting fees, among many many other things people are unaware of on the backend without forcing us to charge subscription fees. All of this is still being hashed out.

I plan on canvasing the community to get input as to what people want what options they want to have etc., but I have many many ideas.

the only way I will be able to get something going is by crowd funding however as I would need to cut my overtime down at work significantly and purchase more servers etc. I’m mainly trying to determine if I am wasting my time or not as I do not have much between work and my own breeding projects.

Last note Please forgive my grammar/spelling as I’m writing this quite quickly

what i have been playing with lately is a genetic calculator that will either be full or allow you to only see the animals you have available.
