Hey guys, I've been thinking about developing an app for the reptile owners for easier record keeping of their data (pets, sheds, feedings, cleaning, water changes and so on). I searched for an app like this and I've read the reviews on the apps I found but all of them had pretty serious bugs or missed important things (according to the reviews).
As I am a developer, a snake owner and a member of this great community, I thought that, with your help, I could do it (although it is my first mobile app ever :crazy02: ). The thing is I do not have a lot of time to invest into this, as I already work as a full time programmer, but once or twice a week I can add a few more lines of code.
That being said, I cannot guarantee that I will finish it (at least not too soon), but I'd love to hear what you would expect from an app like this. For the very first version, I'd like to just cover the basics (as I'm getting used to mobile development) like:
Pet details (species, name, date of birth, gender)
Feeding: plan the next feed, when you feed you'll be able to add info like the item (pinky, fuzzy, etc), quantity, weight and also some notes that you might want to add
Shedding: you'll be able to choose if it was a full shed or not and to add notes
Weight and Length
Cleaning: date of the last viv cleaning
Water change: last water change
Vet visits: date of the visit, symptoms, treatment
In the future I'd like to develop it even more to be able to add vets for exotic pets and to search for this kind of vets in your area, maybe a module of discovering other users, messaging and so on, a section of articles about pet caring etc. But at the moment, I want to cover the basics, or I'll quickly get demotivated wanting to do the best thing in the world and I'll end up doing nothing :laugh:
I'd love to hear what things you consider that are an absolute must for an app of this kind. I'll also need some name suggestions. Thanks!
