I am working with my friend who is a aspiring programmer to make an ant keeping app. The app has many features. Here is a list of features.

- groups: join others' groups and stay in touch with their ant keeping experience
- group chat: talk to people you choose to follow
- Global message board: get updates and polls to improve the app also participate in contests
- what's flying nearby: a list of the nuptial flights going on in your area
- online shop: buy merchandise store tokens
- Merchandise shop: buy formacariums, ant gear, and merchandise
- leaderboard: every month, year, and week, gain different levels of tokens genus=>universal=>merchandise
- photo board: post photos, get likes, and get genus tokens
- possible market place: organize adoption and sales of ant colonies
- identification database: photos of possible queens are identified for species and genus the identifier earns tokens.

I will keep you guys posted on when this app is coming out and if any other features are added.
but be ready, it may be ready in spring 2018.

 

sound interesting

I personally voted no, main reason is that what you plan on making is pretty much Formiculture app, and i think you are just needlessly creating another ant place and possibly dividing ant community, and if i read somewhere correctly, you also plan to earn some money from it.

Overall, if you really want to help people with ant keeping, post your findings here, also, you wrote about possible flight finder, which is something i believe Spaz is already working on, so why not help him create a app specifically designed to track ant flights only?

Also, if you want to make money from this hobby, i suggest you open your ant shop here on formiculture and sell stuff.

It has multiple features that differ from forum type apps, mainly, it initializes the camera function, forums can't. Also this forum is glitchy on mobile and isn't on every app store. We plan to make money buy selling formicariums, not really through the app.

Also, there are many countries where people have a hard time getting to know the ant community. This app would be more user-friendly to new ant-keepers, every month we plan to feature species and be involved in community.
