This is really cute, however I have a hard time seeing a route to widespread adoption as a marketplace of source. I was going to suggest adding adoption and rescues, however there seem to be a number of highly rated apps in that space already.
I would imagine the most useful function if a pet is lost or found would be to allow posting to places like NextDoor, printing posters, a contacting shelters, etc. and offering other support to people.
- scyzoryk_xyz 2y agoYeah its cute but where are the opportunities for scaling, platformization and in-app purchases? For something like this to work out we would need to incentivize users - how about a Pokémon Go style model for growth? Actually, maybe animal rescue might not hold business model promise after all. How about a bounty driven model - I hear there is great business in ivory. Perhaps a pivot towards poaching rare and exotic animals? Any chance we could build in market place functionality?
- Ic3creaM 2y agohmm.. interesting ideas. but wdym by bounty driven model. can you explain a bit more?
- scyzoryk_xyz 2y agoAbsolutely. There is only so much one can make by taking a cut off of finding stray pets. Not much of a runway there and few cases of repeat usage. There is a much more promising market in finding and slaughtering rare and endangered species of animals that this would make a great use for. That’s where the ROI on each identified animal would provide a higher yield with success rate. Finding grandma’s cat? Who cares. Finding the last rhino or final tiger in jungle? Now that’s some open-source poaching that we could platformize and scale.
