u do know he cant remove the post since it done by you... not sure you are trying to be sarcastic or just mocking.
anyway. your 1st 2 app idea is pretty common. for exmple you can easily google watever scholarship present. thre even education blog or website that even details list out scholarships available. I done this when I 1st enter uni almost 5 years ago, so if it present since then there no point on creating something similar but market it as something different.
your second app also been done before. Google it
I'm not mocking or being sarcastic. I tried to find a button inside the post to delete my post but I can't find any. So I request them to remove it if they can. Pardon me for being too backward for these kind of things.
I'm not sure if you have seen my app proposal through the link I posted or you just presumed what I mentioned in the post expressly. But doesn't matter, let me elaborate.
True, the presence of scholarship offers is quite common and can be found at sources you have specified. But I believe it is much better if it is done through an app. The reason is simple because more and more people are getting connected by using smartphones and due to this, less people are using computers as a medium of communication.
This argument is the same as you can also use computers to access Facebook but if you Google search for some statistics, more and more people are using Facebook through smartphones now. The basis of the idea is the same, I have to agree with you, but the medium of implementation is on a different platform; hence why I came up with this idea.
As for second app, I believe you would have said websites, blogs or intranet forums have these kind of things. The argument is the same as the first app: Same idea, different platform.
If this still doesn't sound convincing to you, let us talk about computer games shall we? If you have played First Person Shooter games (FPS), the genre has been invented as far back as 1973 called Maze War. I'm sure most of us didn't play this. How about Wolfenstein 3D (1992) and Doom (1993)? Maybe not familiar for some of you. But I'm sure everyone heard about Call Of Duty series (2003-Present)? It has become one of the most successful & best selling game franchises of all time!
My point is: Idea can remain the same, but innovation enhances it. Computers
were relevant, but mobile devices
are happening.
Even if there is an app for that, it has not been implemented in intra-college/intra-university level. Imagine if a study institution created a dedicated app just to serve the purpose as per my proposal for second app, wouldn't it be cool?
Thanks for your criticisms and keep the posts coming!
