Mention your open source license and describe your open source license rationale.

By using a MIT license anyone is free to use, modify, extend or commercialize our software. We believe it is important to reduce barriers for Cardano developers and crypto needs to remain open, inclusive and permissionless which is why the MIT license fits our ideals.

How do you make sure your source code is accessible to the public from project start, and people are informed?

The code will be published on a public github repository so it is freely available to view, clone or fork. All announcements will be made on a public twitter account to inform the public of its existence and any updates.

How will you provide high quality documentation?

As the sole developer of the project there will be no barrier to providing clear and useful documentation. Having delivered multiple projects over multiple years in the Cardano ecosystem we are able to provide robust documentation for this project.

[Your Project and Solution] Solution

Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem

Alertify is a flutter app that allows a user to send push notifications to multiple phones with one simple POST request. Users can create a project ID to share with any number of phones and one POST request will deliver that notification to all users subscribed to that project ID. Users do not need to configure complex and unreliable SMTP settings to deliver alerts and notifications and they can reach multiple phones with one POST request. The android app leverages the highly scalable firebase cloud messaging service to deliver messages. Our proof of concept leverages orcfax oracle data to deliver price notifications and can be configured to send any notification users desire. We will create a set of easy to execute example scripts which demonstrate price notifications and Node Status Alerts. All manner of alerts could be accomodated, wallet/address activity, Loan health, Disk usage, block-creation, token launches, and project communications. The first 100 users will be given 500 free notifications to use within 6 months.

[Your Project and Solution] Impact

Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

Simple alerts for SPO's will increase infrastructure resilience, and direct loan health notifications could significantly reduce uneccessary defi liquidations. Importantly the examples and tools released will be available to anyone so SPO's, traders and projects can leverage these open source tools to use as they see fit under the MIT license.

[Your Project and Solution] Capabilities & Feasibility

What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?

The app is live already! The android build is operational and has been distributed to a small group of testers producing simple push notifications. The proposer has also developed multiple cardano applications over 4 years.

[Final Pitch] Value for Money

How does the cost of the project represent value for the Cardano ecosystem?

The app already exists and can be used today! Because we build first we can open source rapidly. Given we are seeking mostly retroactive funding we have applied a rate of 100ADA/hour which at the current exchange rate is extremely competitive for blockchain/full stack software development.
