APP IDEA Revised


Objective – Create an App where users can share the most interesting shows they’ve seen on Netflix/Hulu/Crunchyroll/Amazon/YoutubeRed. In this app users can rate these shows, categorize them by genre using tags, and share them with other users or friends through social media. They can also write comments below the suggested show so other viewers could see as well suggest a description for the show with the highest rated/most accurate description of the show being chosen as a show’s description.
THIS IS NOT AN APP TO WATCH TV SHOWS, this is an app that will be community driven and suggestive in terms of what’s poppin’ on TV/The Web.

Milestones
Week 1 = Design/Wireframe of APP
Week 2 = Learn The Code - (maybe using CodeAcademy)
Week 3 = Building the APP
Week 4 = Goal of having a Prototype or Framework of the APP  

Proposal

Idea: An app that tells you if there is a religious even going on that day. There is currently a website that used to this, however the developers stopped working on it years ago.

I plan on rebuilding the website from the ground up as well as the app. 

The app will send a push notification on the day of there religious event if the permission is granted. When you open the app on the day of the religious event, it will give some information about it.

The app will be free and have no premium services. The website will also be free with no premium services.

I plan on advertising the app and website through social media, there are many pages and accounts out there with large followings that will gladly advertise the app and website at no cost. 

The current need for the app and website is pretty high as no one really has the dates of these events memorized. There are also multiple calendars so the dates will have to correspond with those.

Ideally I would like to create the app using swift however it may be difficult to do that as I plan on learning JavaScript  at the same time. If its not possible to create the app through swift, I plan on using JavaScript or a service like Ionic.io.

I plan on delivering weekly updates for the first four weeks. This is all subject to change depending on how difficult things get.

Week 1: Start gathering information around calendars and dates.


Week 2: Start learning and creating database. Create a wireframe.


Week 3: Continue learning and working on database. Start working on UI/UX.


Week 4: Continue working on UI/UX.

App Idea and Proposal



Features

Overview:
Create convenience/communication features for tenants and landlords/property managers via mobile app

Target: 
Apartment Rental buildings, Real Estate Management Companies. There are currently similar software but for larger/more sophisticated buildings. I am talking about smaller scale here.

Use Cases:
  • Report Maintenance Issues
  • Make Complaints/Safety Reminders
  • Bill Pay and Rent Reminder
  • Contracts, Lease Renewal, Lease Terms and Length
  • Package Notifications
  • Utilities
  • Emergency Info.
  • Bulletin Board
Revenue:
  • Offer a premium subscription with a free app. Advertisement could come from local businesses.

A Hat Design APP- no title yet

Target:  

  • General public
  • Designers
Objective:

Where anyone who has an idea of their own hat can make their ideas come to life.

Straight from their phone, iPad, or any mobile device. And if it reaches a good place "value", and we are generating currency and publicity a webpage will be the next step.

At first the app will be a no charge app where hats of all kinds can be design in whatever liking the person wants but no sales just ideas/customizations (unless things change and coming out strong is the best move).

After gaining publicity, we can then generate a team that goes around and gets sponsorships from different design & hat companies who we would partner with and be an extension of their brands where both sides will be generating money. 

Also to connect it more with the public, user will be able to upload their designs and products to the app where others can see, buy, and branch off of. Which will create a network between the “user and user” and the “user and the programmer/us.”

Where I got my idea from…

Well there are many kinds of design apps, t-shirts, hoodies, but I haven’t come across a hat app or one that is established and has everything that I want. Hats are a trending thing now and has been for a while. In the time where people want to be different, I think something as simple but as cool as this idea would attract the society I live in today.  

Not sure what software we will be using yet. TBA (Photo.io currently using to make layout)

FRAMEWORK IDEAZ

JavaScript is so ubiquitous that you can build native mobile applications using technologies web developers already know (HTML, JavaScript, CSS).

React Native

With React Native, from the same code base, you can build iOS and Android real native mobile applications, using concepts familiar to React developers. To know more about building applications for both iOS and Android, read this tutorial.
Other solutions, based on Cordova, used to rely on Webview to render the screens and were not as efficient than a native solution. "Write Once Run Everywhere"... This is a developer's dream came true!

Ionic

Ionic was a pioneer with the concept of "hybrid" applications. Under the hood, it's based on Cordova to access the mobile device features. It's very mature with a large eco-system.

NativeScript

NativeScript aims for the same goal as React Native (build real mobile applications using web technologies). It comes in 2 flavors, NativeScript Core and NativeScript + Angular 2
