Terrible horrible no good very bad ideas

I gotta say, the backstory of this has been pretty dope to watch unfold. your speed from idea --> reality is impressive. Also, building in public by sharing video updates each week, and keeping us posted on the ups/downs (eg. running into app store policy problems) was great. OK so how are you going to get your first 10 customers??

@shaanvp thanks man, and as to our first 10 customers - Took a leaf of of Sams Book a couple of hours ago. Churches are charities > All Charity info is public > found a directory of all charities in the UK > Queried all Charities with "Church" in their name ;) Got a very long list - now time for emails!

My Mum nagged me into building tech that saves churches during covid-19 Few weeks ago, my mum, as usual, was annoying me. Reminding me for the 100th time to bring cash to church for donations. I mean WHO carries CASH nowadays ?! I tweeted about this and it was picked up by the ceo of Bebo; @shaanvp I made a public statement saying I'd build it in 3 months. 4 weeks in and we're excited launch TODAY 🚀 Donations are the life and blood of churches. Currently, churches can't get donations due to social distancing. Altar; an app that allows you to give to your local church. We help churches automate Gift-Aid (Government Scheme in the UK that gives churches 25% more) If you would like to hear a more in depth version of my story then please contact me via lotts@myaltar.io Potential Futures Features: ✨I always find it weird that when you donate to a church you never know where the money actually goes towards ??? - I think a way for users to see how the church is using your donations. (e.g 12% Building UpKeep, 8% Bills etc) ✨ Essentially become the Calm for Christianity (big statement...I know)
