Need Your Suggestions Options

Hello, everyone.

Moderators, please move it if this is not an appropriate place.

So I started learning Tarot and as part of it I was trying to find the best way to record my readings. I am a software developer so I figured I'd write a little diary application that would allow you to track your readings (various spreads and various decks), pull descriptions from various sources and allow you to put in your own interpretations. As I am in the process of writing it now, I decided that other folks might find it useful. Maybe there are other features that you guys think would be useful for this. Please post your ideas. Once the app is written I will make it available to anyone who wants to use it.

Please post or send me pm.

SUCH a great idea. Hook me up!!!!! Ive been wanting this for a while. For a short time i was taking to drawing up my own blank cards up on paper in the form of the spread i chose for the day and making notes of the reading that way...but it was confusing, and after a while of doing it...I got WAY too many cross references going so i had to scrap the idea. but if it were a software design, I could retrace a card reference with the click of a mouse through a highlighted word (kinda like we used to do for power point in school, you remember when we numbered and ordered the pages?

there is this computer game i have that pulls spreads up for me, with little bookish one word and short sentence interpretations below the card...but it is basic at best, and I cannot successfully add notes on the thing without pulling several windows up. One thing I would like is to personalize my cards to fit my own meanings to them. For example, the Tower is significant to me for more reasons than just the traditional reading of the card. Same thing with the lovers or the Chariot or the Fool etc etc....I think it varies from reader to reader. Now if i were reading for a stranger i would use the conventional meanings for the cards, but thats not the kind of reading i want to give myself. -V

So far the list of features i can think of:

1.ability to pick different decks per reading (which are most popular to start?)
2.card descriptions library per deck - it would be editable, so you can put your own descriptions/meanings/interpretations
3. will start with a couple of spreads and will add more overtime (which are most popular to start?)
4. record your own readings or for friends, so you can catalog them and be able to look up and put more notes afterwards
5. maybe add some astrological stuff so you can correlate things (e.g. moon phases, any other suggestions?)
6. analysis of frequency of cards you get per person (readying for yourself or others that is)

i am actually making a little site for this application. I also would like your opinion as to what would be better:

1. web-based application that will run through the browser (the data would be saved on the server for your account, accessible from anywhere - just need internet, don't have to worry about backup, automatic upgrades etc)
2. desktop application that you can download and install on your computer (data would be saved on your computer, only accessible from your computer, you will have to worry about your own backups, but you can use it without internet access, you will need to worry about upgrading)

which option would you prefer?

If you can think of any other features (no matter how small), please feel free to drop a note.
