Topic: Location based bitcoin merchant app (Read 637 times)
I currently have an iOS app which is not related to bitcoin but i think it could do well within the bitcoin community.
It is a location based deals app where merchants can upload deals that that they wish to offer. Its a very simple process for a merchant to sign up and create new deals. There is currently no limit to deals and duration of deals.
On the user side of things, they open the app, and it shows all the deals "Nearby". They can also search through category, savings etc.
I was thinking was to change this app to be bitcoin specific. Not so much a deals based app but more of a "Where can i spend bitcoins" app.
It would be a free service, where merchants will be able to create a profile for themselves and users can see where they can spend bitcoin.
I think this service could help with merchant acceptance and user awareness.
I don't currently have a website running with the app so i would need someone to help me with that. Basically want the same functionality as the app.
I have taken the app offline for the moment as we have not been pursuing new business but i will upload screenshots when i get a chance.
The app is only available through iOS at the moment so i think an android version would be good.
I also don't really have that much time to devote to this project so if anyone is interested in jumping on board with me to get this going, that would be awesome! Just send me a PM.
Can anyone help with any other inclusions within the app or feedback in regards to the current system?
Any advice would be appreciated.
