Potential Cofounder wanted:
Hey! I have a startup idea that I am working on right now and would really love for some people to help out and become cofounders and gain ownership as well. I find that building something with other people are much more important than just solo work.
Below is the idea description and please feel free to reply if you are willing to contribute!
“One of the biggest issue is the distraction from social media and phone usage that can detract people away from doing actual work, leading to accumulated stress and workload. This is sometimes highlighted with groups of friends or people studying whereas one person that does pick up their phone may influence other people in picking it up to. Screen blockers and app blockers do not work due to one important thing, which is that it still requires independence and autonomy. People could easily delete the app.
AIM: Create an online application whereas friends can monitor whether(but not activity such as texting, calling and personal info) if someone is on certain apps such as social media with invitation and permission and have the ability to temporarily flag a certain app on each other’s phone such that when they do attempt to access the app while studying, it requires whoever you shared this study space with to authenticate access. This will be similar to life 360 in that this will only work if you approve of a friends circle and it’s within your own circle and you have the ability to get out of the group or disable the group. However, studies do show that this type of way to “get out” or “disable” is less done than simply deleting an app. With this it allows studying or any other activities to be much more interactive, allowing you to talk to other people rather than simply staring at your phone and it will be programmed such that you can choose what apps to restrict and the authentication process will not spill any private data. This idea does not cross any patents. Though it is just an interest project and the ultimate goal is to create a sample build. “
Will start coding and setting up next week. No patent crossing for this and would love to include some other people into this project. If you need further clarifications. Please let me know! But even if you cannot help out, please feel free to provide any advice. Any advice is very useful in this case!
