Hello everyone :)
I'm Coraluna from Germany, living in Tenerife/Canary Islands (that's Spain, but it's closer to Africa tha Europe ;-)).
Travelling through Florida, I first saw real-life-mermaids and mermen and loved what I saw!
However, what I notice when looking at the different Facebook pages, instagrams and the MerNetwork - we're present all over the world, but separately, not knowing of each other, and not being able to synergize nicely (in my opinion). I would like to change this by creating one app in which mermaids and mermen from all over the world can come together, share their knowledge, their passion, support each other and make the world a slightly better place together - all guided by a modern and playful app.
The Goal: A Globally Connected Community
The app is supposed to bring together the different things mermaids and merman are looking for online: inspirational videos, information about creating own costumes and accessories, links to mermaid-related sellers, a map and calendar of events and competitions and a community to interact with the other merfolk.
The monetization is either going to be via a membership fee, a one-time price or advertisement and is going to be partly used to support a different environmental project each month that users can also vote on.
In order to truly have a feeling of community, the content is going to be created and moderated by that community itself - growing and evolving naturally, without needing to invest a lot of money into it.
Feedback Fuel :)
In order to know if this is an idea you guys would like, I've created a Google Form to get some feedback: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...1TvqA/viewform (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdmCxPJxuceRXez8yo7P7eFuwMcF_6y0WZTz4ucFksL G1TvqA/viewform)
It would be amazing if you could fill it out and help me advance with it :)
Have a mermaizing start into your year!
Yours, Coraluna
