Is there a similar idea to be found?:
Yes, there are some similar ideas to be found.
There are several crochet apps that offer different features and functions for crocheters, such as stitch counters, pattern libraries, project trackers, reference guides, and social networking. Some examples of these apps are Stash 2 Go, LoveCrochet, Knit & Crochet Counter, Amigurumi Today, iStitch Counter, Crochet Stitches, All Free Crochet, and Knitting and Crochet Helper.
Some of these apps are free, while others are paid or have in-app purchases. Some of them are available for both iOS and Android devices, while others are exclusive to one platform. Some of them have regular updates and new content, while others are outdated or discontinued. Some of them have a large and active user base, while others have a small or niche audience.
The most popular and recognized crochet app is Stash 2 Go, which is a mobile version of the online platform Ravelry. Ravelry is a website that connects knitters, crocheters, designers, spinners, weavers, and dyers. It has over 9 million registered users and over 1 million patterns. Stash 2 Go allows users to access Ravelry on their phones and tablets, as well as manage their stash, projects, queue, favorites, friends, groups, forums, and messages.
Another crochet app that has a similar idea to yours is LoveCrochet, which is a crochet companion app that allows users to browse and buy yarns, hooks, and accessories from the online store LoveCrafts.

Users can also share their projects and join the LoveCrochet community.
Why you think there is a demand for your idea?:
I think there is a demand for your idea because crocheting is a popular and growing hobby that has many benefits for people’s well-being, such as reducing stress, improving mood, enhancing creativity, and boosting self-esteem.

Hi Daniela, do you have an idea as to the costs to develop and market the App. Many entrepreneurs have good business ideas but when it comes to launching they can’t bootstrap the idea and try to go down the investor route which usually leads to failure. Also, have you ideas to monetise the business if you find customers that want the App?
