My wife wants to learn how to make iPhone apps, and to get started down this road I've proposed to her that she create a relatively simple app that would provide info on the PPACA/Obamacare.
Concept is a flashcard type application driven by a simple menu selection with various topics. I'm actually a little surprised that nothing like this already exists but I've searched the AppStore and not found anything under Obamacare or PPACA.
Why this app? ObabaCare/PPACA is a massive program being implemented over many years. There is a lot of misinformation out there and many of us in the Democratic/Liberal/Progressive universe are often interacting with relatives, co-workers, etc who have misconceptions that should be corrected. Keeping everything in our heads just doesn't cut it. Having this info at hand in an easy to access app would be beneficial to those of us who have drunk the Apple cool-aid.
So, why this diary? Well, would like to get some additional input from members of this community on what should go into such an app, resources to cull info from, a name for the app, etc. If you have suggestions, please feel free to add them in the comments.
Below the fold I'll update the diary as things shape out. Current list is a little thin as this idea just jelled in my head this morning and I'm on the train headed into work as I type this.
If I get several good name ideas I'll do a separate diary with a poll.
Current items considering for inclusion:
1. Top N Myths about ObamaCare
2. Top N Features of ObamaCare
3. Social media controls to tweet/facebook info about Obamacare
Resources to pull info from to include into this app:
