Hi! I’m Marc, and I’m developing IV, a WordPress plugin to make your videos interactive! That means you could:
1. An action editor to add interactive elements
2. A time-based video commenting system
I have implemented the video commenting system. You can access the prototype here. But when I was about to finish, WordPress released its new Gutenberg editor. So I need to update the plugin to work with Gutenberg, add the action editor and then make everything neat.
To speed it up, I’m hiring a development company to help me out. I already have different quotes for the ranging from $3000 to $4000. You can see my detailed mockups that I sent them here. With this campaign, I’m aiming at this minimal financial target to make IV a reality.
If we exceed the funding, the first additional $5000 will go towards bugfixing and support. And after that, I’ll add new features. I’d want to gamify my own videos and add small bets.
Early adopters who help finance this initial investment get all the main yearly licenses half-price!
I’ll be developing the plugin on a public GIT repository, so if you are a technically savvy, you can pull development versions throughout. Also, I hope some of you are interested in alpha & beta testing. I’ll be sending out emails for that.
The main risk is that the collaboration with my Indian development company works smoothly. I have previously worked with a company in India. They did a good job, but communication was difficult. But from this I also gained experience and this time my mockups are very clear and straight forward. For distribution and payment of the plugin, I selected freemius.com. That shouldn’t create many problems.
