Um, no. I am looking to participate in creating this either as an open-source thing (with initial funding by me) or to be a "first customer". I would rather not have to hire someone to do this; but I'd happily kick in money to get it started. It seems like a problem that 1000's of people have that is perfect for an open-source solution. So I thought people here might also have this problem and like to participate/collaborate, or know of such a solution, or want to build it with me as a first customer. Doing this myself would be a last-resort.
