The idea is great, everything moves online nowadays.
It looks very similar to Facebook and their applications.
A couple of notes:
- for some of the apps, native apps will provide greater experience, especially on mobile devices. Browser is very portable though
- I would recommend to make it like an open platform where 3rd party developers may contribute - so that your model could scale. At the same time - you need to do marketing homework first in order to get visitors on board and then become attractive to those 3rd parties. You will become infrastructure provider in this case and this is slightly another kind of business.
- Don't do many things at once. Focus on typical and most frequent workflows so that you can do less but at better quality
- You will hold lots of personal data, think about how to ensure clients that they are safe, there are back-ups and there is no vendor lock-in.
- Kilimanjaro 14y agoAll points are valid advice. Thanks for your feedback. In the long run it may become a platform but I would like it to be small and private, so users don't feel like they are the product. Privacy and security are paramount and won't be traded for anything. Total encryption could be a feature. Backups and data portability from the get go. The whole idea is to make a thousand people happy without compromising their trust in the service. If I decide to go on I'll start building a framework to make modules plug and play, then dedicate time to each, one by one.
