update
I haven't been updating my blog lately, but I have been working on the application. In fact, I have actually engaged a developer to put the application together. Initially, it will not be as robust as I would like the application. In fact, it will simply have the bare bones of requirements, but it will offer the user the ability to utilize multiple sides. Also, contrary to plans to develop a hybrid solution (which would require a lot of money to develop), I am going to develop the application as a strict online solution. Of course this means that I am redesigning the application to accommodate the online environment. Later, after the online application is established, I may develop a desktop version that can be used offline but if the online version does well enough, I may forego that.It's not the ideal version I envisioned, but it actually works out. I inquired with a couple superintendents about the demand for an application of this nature and whether it would be something a school system would use. Unfortunately, it is not something that school systems would be open to using, so the hybrid model which relied on monetizing through institutional demand wasn't going to work like I had anticipated. So I am back at the drawing board working to determine how I might monetize this with the understanding that students are my primary market.
My wife was bemoaning not having the application to use for her nursing studies. Having the ability to validate multiple aspects individually, relative to a single cue, would come in very handy with her pharmacological studies where she has to know many aspects about each drug she is studying. Apparently, this application would be very handy for certain niches among students including nurses, some language students, humanities students, and probably many others. The key question is whether students would be willing to pay for the application. I guess we'll find out.
