Idea Napkin No. 2

1.) Hi again, for those of you who didn't read my Idea napkin No. 1, my name is Jason Horecky. I'm a very musically talented individual who loves meeting new people, playing basketball and tennis. My Idea for my first napkin was an app that displays all open parking spots around your area to help you find a spot quickly instead of driving around the block multiple times looking for one. I have a car and especially in Gainesville I noticed how terrible parking was and I decided to come up with an app to fix this problem. This app could potentially save me lots of time and even make me some money on the side through ad revenues.

2.) I'm offering a free app that will show you very clearly and easily what parking spots are open around your area. There are also a lot of little functions to the app that make it easier to drive around a town that you don't necessarily know. For example there will be features showing all tow away areas so that you don't accidentally park in a spot and get towed without knowing. There will be options to notify your phone whenever a certain, or multiple spots open up that you wanted to take. Also if you click on parking garages it will let you know the capacity of them as well as how many spots are left. We will keep continually adding new features to it as well once we get feedback from customers.

3.) I'll be offering this app to everyone. Since most people now have smart phones and cars, a simple search on the app store is all you would need to do. I'm trying to get this app out there because the more people download it the more people will use it. I want to help as many people as possible because I know i'll definitely be using it once it comes out.

4.) Reading the feedback that my fellow peers said to me, they all said that they would love to have this app! Alot of them really pushed me on to actually get this going and I think I actually am! It will save time and effort and definitely keep you sane while trying to find a spot near you.

5.) What sets me apart is that I'm always in this to help people. No matter what I do in my life i'll always be there for people and do my best to make everyone else's lives easier. I know everyone has extremely hard lives so I'll do all that I can to help that. I also have made hundreds of valuable connections here at UF that will help me with my ideas and actually get them going.

I think that the only thing left for me to do is get in contact with a computer science/tech guy and ask them what needs to get done to start working on this app. I have some friends that are extremely smart computer engineers and I think I'll start by asking them. They have already made multiple apps on the app store so I'm pretty sure we can figure out how to do this one correctly. All the feedback that I got was very good. The only negative thing that was said was that they were wondering if I had gotten in contact with some IT guy to start the app since I don't have any experience with coding and programming. But as I explained earlier I have close friends that have already said they would help me create this app! I believe that every part of my app works together well and that once I start actually using it, i'll get more feedback and implement it immediately to make the app as good as possible. I'm very excited to start working on this because everyone would be able to use it and it would save a lot of time and help people find the parking spots they need with ease!
