I hope you see the following a constructive criticism
I love your enthusiasm, but you lost me very early on, and you got Zero buy-in from me, and I had to force myself to read through the remaider of this thread, which I found very hard work.
I was curious and I guessed 17-18.
They actually sound sensible to me and you sound like you may need reining in.
A spontaneous spirit rather than a considered one, dont get me wrong, this is not necessarily a bad thing, but unless you have disposable income, for a project like yours, you may need a little more control.
remember
If you move out, you may have more freedom of choice, but that will like come with LESS financial freedom aka. bills
For me, I think you need to get people onboard, and maybe take a step back.
Throwing all this stuff out there and hoping it sticks is probably not the most efficient strategy.
Personally this is what I think you should do.
Watch some youtube videos on Project management, (I would suggest books, but I dont think that will fit your style) there are a whole variety, but most follow a pretty similar structure.
initiation.
planning.
execution.
monitoring and control.
closure.
dont get a head of yourself. take the time, especially in the planning phase.
You want to build on great foundations, you’re trying to build on sand at the moment.
I think you should re read all the great feedback you have recieved from above, and use this advice to structure a plan.
You have a great ally in @Eyeux , but from the outside It looks like, to me at least, you are wasting his time and it may wear thin, rather quickly.
Im surprised he has stayed engaged for as long as he has, but this says more about him than it does about your project.
Go and do some research ,that doesn’t mean finding something on the surface that is close to what you want, you actually need to get into the weeds, and see how this will fit into your plan.
You will find key decision points along the way, these may shape the direction you take, but you need to stop putting the cart before the horse.
Then, watch some successful Dragons Den episodes, see their approach to get the buy in from the Dragons.
This is YOUR project, but you need help, so you have to sell your passion; your enthusiasm is not infectious, it is more distracting.
Then try coming back with a mythodical, logical and feasible plan.
Present it in a way that people want to help and is easy for them to do so, rather than wasting their time curbing your enthusiasm.
then you can move on to the fun stuff
…the execution
Anyway
Thats my advice, take it or leave it, but either way, I hope at least some of it helps and wish you luck with your project
