Sorry for the limited communication over the past week. I got a bit distracted with Taxes. I also got distracted looking at all of the Lacrosse software that exists out there and mapping out the deficiencies in each. At some point I'll talk about them all here, but now isn't the time. It was distracting mainly in that I saw myself creating an all in one software package that had everything that would be needed to completely manage a team or organization.
However, that isn't my first and foremost focus. The thing that drove me to do this in the first place was that there was no good way to record statistics (at least not real time) and get them where Followers could see (mostly proud parents to begin with). Honestly I became concerned that I wouldn't have enough time to complete even that goal as my job situation stabilizes over the next few weeks. I feel that what I have is unique, and is commercially viable. I just have to have it ready by the Fall season in order to start making something with it.
Ideally, I would love to just focus on this and over the next few years build that all in one system. I will just need to get enough sales to make that dream a reality. That means that I need a stable version working in the next month so that I can focus on the marketing side of it so that I can make some sales for fall. Otherwise, this is at best a hobby. So, for the next week, the family and I will be on Spring break, which means that I'll be working from the beach to knock out a lot of these issues.
Thus far the beta tests have been working great. I'm grateful that I was able to pick up 2 teams from the same Organization and within the same age group. That way I can complete the comparison tools that will allow coaches to see who the leaders are for the whole age group. There is a third team in the age group with a really good hand keeper and I want to get his stats so that I can test offline entry as well.
