A product born from a consulting project

One of my consulting clients approached me to build an app for them to manage documents required of organizations in Pennsylvania. New regulatory requirements beginning in 2016 mean that every adult who works around children or even volunteers around children must undergo one or two background checks.

This puts a huge burden on small organizations like sports teams and churches who might have scores or hundreds of volunteers.

I came to an agreement with my client that I could sell the product to other groups in exchange for giving him a reduced hourly rate to build it.
