I've been on this forum for a few years but this is my first progress thread, because this may be my first genuinely PreValidated app idea.
I occasionally do a poor man's idea extraction by asking friends "yo you got any app ideas? is there anything in your life that could be improved with an? or do you have some cool idea for an app? lemme know brah!"
99% of time i get nothing, but this time i got a bite. I have a friend who has many years of experience in a certain industry. He says that for the smaller businesses in the industry, it can be inconvenient for them to find workers, especially if at the last minute some worker cannot show up.
The app idea is to create a centralized place for these smaller businesses and workers to find each other, in a location based way.
I'll be developing this app myself using Unity3D, which is the software i have become intimately familiar with over the last several years.
I'm confident in my ability to create a functional Front End.
My only real challenge is the backend and communication between that and the front end. I have to learn how databases, servers, etc work. I know absolutely nothing about that stuff.
I did a little research already and i know solutions exist that work with Unity3D. I'm gonna do a shit ton more research so i can make an informed decision on how to implement the database stuff.
I'll be meeting up with my friend sometime soon to draw up the entire design document for the app, this way i can at least develop the front end and test it out with dummy data.
I have no experience making these kinds of apps but i'm confident ill figure it out.
Stay tuned for updates lol
EDIT:
im also on unemployment currently but they have SEAP(self employment assistance program) where they don't require you to look for work if ur building ur business fulltime.
Before i didn't wanna do this because they require bullshit business plans, etc and all my apps were just testing the waters, but with this latest app idea i think its worth a shot applying for this.
If i get into the program, the world will leave me the F*ck alone for a few months so i can just bang out this app.
