Reef Safe

[dbp214]

I want to design a mobile application for the iPhone/Android.

The app would be an encyclopedia of commonly traded reef organisms.

The app would have a search function that would allow you to search an organism that you wish to add to your reef.

For use when you are shopping in the reef aquarium store and come across a pretty fish that you wish you had more access to information on right at your fingertips in that moment.

For example, I'm in the store and I discover the beauty of the Copperband Butterfly Fish. But I wonder, would this fish be safe for my reef aquarium that I have invested $$$$ into?

I use the mobile application on my phone to search 'Copperband Butterfly' and already I have reviews left by hobbyist.

Hobbyist would be able to review the fish on several different criteria. They would be able to rank how safe it is with other organisms by selecting certain precreated hashtags.

i.e. #notgoodwithcleanershrimp



What do you guys think?
Any questions?

That is just a google search for android apps. I wouldn't doubt that there are hundreds, upon hundreds of application editors for both iphone and android. If you are interested you should try making one.

There has to be plenty of DIY or tutorials around the web. It never hurts to get your feet wet.

I think you should make it! I know I would use that when I go to the LFS. If you would need any help just pm or email me.

If you are serious I've been thinking about making the same app. Are you a designer or an engineer? Im a UI designer and already have already been designing what I think it would look like. If you can code for iOS and android I would love to help.
