OP, care to share an email? I have been floating this idea around for a long time, and have a ton of experience programming/installing PoS systems etc.
I have this a try last night, very nice. The process completed much quicker than I thought it would; and the concept is great. I think fleshing out the ways you can receive the data (PDF/Word etc) would be very helpful, other than that I was surprised at the ease of use.
hahah...About 23 hours to late for me too, would have loved to known about stripe yesterday before I started fighting with paypal and IPN (thanks relix)
Currently working on my first startup (40-50 hours per week, along with a 9-5); One of the biggest takeaways Ive learned in the last 12 weeks is the importance of building an idea iteration framework. I made a conscience decision to develop an outline while building this product (from coding, to team development, communications, marketing etc) so that I can plug essentially any future idea into this framework quickly, and easily so I can have a "product" coded and ready for releae in about a month.
I dont have my notes with me but essentially, any current code can be modified to fit any new idea (login/billing/graphics/hosting/backups etc) with a few database table changes, any new code that needs to be written for a future idea will only pertain to the idea itself.
Any future ideas we may have, the only part I need to code up is the business logic to implement the idea, which depending on the complexity can be implemented in 3-6 weeks with little hassle. I would suggest getting a framework detailed out, keep good notes, and just plugin your ideas one by one.
Very cool, I would definitely circulate this to various news agencies, and teachers groups, they tend to love to quantify numbers with visual solutions (ie our debt, in dollars stacked, would reach from here to the ....)
