Hi all,

I just re-read all the posts here. The recent world events we are going through have made me think a lot about many subjects.

I have often wanted to get started in this Android development, and I am thinking again about this (just thinking for now, don't get too much enthusiastic for the moment).

Also, my reflection also explore the profitability of my time, although I have no idea of ​​the number of current HomeBank desktop app users (yes you read it well: I do not) and even less I have no idea of those among that will use this potential mobile app. But as you know, everyone known, it is not a secret, the open source donation model is far from being satisfactory with regard to the time invested. I am graceful and thank every donator of course. But still.

The last post here asks if someone would like to do "something". Well let's be clear, with question of this type, I doubt that anyone feels invested in such an unknown or as vague mission.

So, let's start from a blank sheet here and build a feature list this mobile application MUST / SHOULD / COULD have (in that priority).

And regarding the process, let fit things in the following way, for your request:

rule1: DON'T LIST A FEATURE ALREADY POSTED BY PEOPLE that replied before you.
rule2: prefix with MUST: SHOULD: COULD: (in that order)
rule3: for each MUST/SHOULD/COULD: describe 2 or 3 feature briefly (just a title don't write a novel here)
rule4: try to be clear, understandable and concise
rule5: DON'T LIST A FEATURE ALREADY POSTED BY PEOPLE that replied before you.

At the end, we will see with more clarity and could appreciate if it is a matter of climbing a hill, or... the Everest :)

Max.
