I'm aware of tools like slack, jira, atlassian, for professional/enterprise level, but none specifically targeted towards college club or or amateur team manage

I suggest you do some research into this before you start building anything. Your idea is not novel and it is a crowded space already.

  I have, and to my knowledge there is no tool that fits in the niche that I prescribe really. Could you provide some examples?

    > college club management That’s what I’d search for on Google. The first result [0] already has some useful suggestions, and I’m sure there are plenty more out there if you want to dig deeper. You might feel your idea is more complete, faster, cheaper, or better in some way, and maybe it is. But that’s not really the point. I’ve been around this space before, and what often happens is it turns into a sales effort targeted at people who either won’t be around in a few years (graduate) or aren’t in a position to pay for tools like this (poor college kids). I know this might sound like old-man advice (it is!), and you may decide to keep building what you believe is the perfect solution. That’s totally your call. But I’ve seen many people (including myself) pour months or years into something like this, only to realize too late that the market really isn’t there. My suggestion: take a step back and focus on building something people are ready to pay for right now, not what you think they will want. It’ll save you a lot of time and heartache. I say this not to discourage you, but because I genuinely want to help.
