Episode 02 – We Pick an Idea

Following our advice from the previous episode, what ideas did we come up with?
1. Idea 1: “Estate agent checking for tenants before and after tenancy”,
2. idea 2: A bank account transfer app ,
3. idea 3. Am I hot or not?
4. Idea 4. A recipe app: ingredients in the fridge
My sister is a lawyer she told me about a problem with exchanging bank details in her business.
Why shouldn’t we follow this idea?

This week James we will be discussing how to come up with a great idea for a mobile app, and some of the gotchas if you get it wrong.

Topics:

Who are we, and why are we doing this
What type of idea makes a good one? E.g. wow-factor, mundanity, cheapness, usefulness, functionality, etc.
What sorts of marketing and promotion is available?
What are the technical challenges? E.g. HTML5, iOS, Android?
What about open source?
What happens when things go wrong?
