I’m aware of the thread and I believe that we’d be able to solve the policy issues. Using an existing API like the Pledge’s one mentioned above would be my strong recommendation, given that they indeed handle the heavy parts of the donation process. It would make dealing with the policies of the app stores a breeze compared to making the back-end from scratch, as in that case there would be a rather huge workload in dealing with the heavy (although necessary) bureaucracy.
It would be nice if we started coordinating the development somehow. I would start with a central hub where all the comms would take place so that the discussion wouldn’t become scattered and hard to follow. Maybe something like semi-open Slack or Discord server for more instant and spontaneous messaging and all the fancy extra features?
These all seem like great ideas! I think a Discord server sounds great. I know that @Aaron F was expressing interest here and on EA, I think, so a group of us starting to show interest might benefit from some centralized place to chat like you said.
I got unexpectedly busy with some work stuff, so I’m not sure I’m the best to coordinate/ring lead, but I’m happy to pitch in however/whenever I can! Definitely open to learning some new things (like Flutter) too.
Whatever you think is best! I don’t have anything to contribute to the development except vision and money, but I’ll check in as needed to answer questions about those things.
Thanks for the reply!

How about a private channel in the EA Anywhere slack workspace (https://join.slack.com/t/eavirtualmeetupgroup/shared_invite/zt-1vi3r6c9d-gwT_7dQwMGoo~7cU1JH0XQ)? We can also mention the project in their software engineering channel and see if anyone else wants to work with us.
If this sounds good, join the workspace and then DM me (Aaron Fink) and I’ll add you to a channel.
