Worked on this for over a year, looking for feedback.

Thanks everybody.



QA?

Was thinking about Google Docs but I doubt an average user can follow specific format guidelines (or wants to) in order to properly let us import the data.


:o

QA? .. ?

That is a good point but I am sure there is something out there that could conceivably do it. For a while we were using textpresso (biology related) to pull specific data from scientific paper and dump it in rudimentary tables, it was far from perfect and then we collectively broke ours trying to perfect it. I blame the cocky use of the dictionary in academic journals for breaking it ... we walked away from it for now lol

anyways, what about exporting into google docs? I see on the features list you can export but to what format ?

How do you expect to generate revenue? Seeing as how it isnt exactly personal data maybe the data (upcoming maintenance or wish list of parts) could be shared (limited data or close to anonymously) with vendors on the forum to provide the end user a discount (like a bulk parts discount), you take a small cut, vendors increase sales. I can also see this helping out vendors in keeping track of special discounts threads I see in the vendors section.

Who knows... there are lots of ways to make money off this without a subscription fee and more than likely better ways of making money off your project that dont involve my ramblings.

Signed up! Awesome idea OP! Sounds like Alldata but much cooler and resourceful!

Looks interesting! I'm on the waiting list.

Carfax has an app similar to this on apple store. but yours is more personalized IMO

Are there going to be ads? I'll disable adblock on the page either way so that hopefully you make some money back from it.

Great idea!

Excellent idea! I've signed up, looking forward to using this for my ever growing fleet. I take care of 7 vehicles within the family, spreadsheets have their limits and if this could generate texts to family members that would be great!

[jaywood]

Cool idea OP! I like it

Thanks everybody.

heh, in my lab we are tasked to constantly break and poke holes into our site to get the coders off their asses. They dont like us much...


also if you can make this xcompatible with google docs that would be amazing (i.e. importing functioning expense spreadsheets, parts lists, etc).

Looks cool. I didn't sign up but looked through the features. A feature I think would really help is the addition of an app to remind you of maintenance items when they are due, or to enter quick notes for stuff you find/need while working on your car that syncs to your online account, since people always have there phone on them. Then they can go back later when doing a parts order or something and check there notes so they dont forget anything.

We already do this

After you add a car, you add service (let's say oil change) and then you can add tons of different things to that service.

One of the things is 'scheduling' where you can add a date when your schedule begins and specify intervals in days, miles (we use your weekly mileage estimate to calculate service due date) or a specific date.

There is an option to recieve a reminder when that service is due either via a text message or email.
