Hey fellow electrical enthusiasts and professionals!
I’ve been tinkering with an idea lately and wanted to get a broader range of thoughts. Here’s the deal: I’m considering developing an app that allows you to ask NEC related questions and get instant answers along with relative reference codes. Whether you’re a jman, low volt guy, or someone who dabbles in electrical work, this app could be a game changer.
Features I’m thinking about:
- Easy Search: Type in your questions or topic, and the app will pull up the relevant info from the NEC.
- Instant Answers: Get straight forward answers instantly (The answer won’t be in “code talk”)
- Reference codes: Alongside the answer, the app would provide you with the specific NEC code references for further reading.
- User Friendly Interface: I plan to have a clean and intuitive interface so even the most novice phone users can be efficient.
- Regular Updates: Keeping up with the latest NEC revisions and updates to ensure accurate information.
Before I dive headfirst into this project, I wanted to gauge your interest and gather any suggestions or ideas you might have. Is this concept useful? Have you encountered similar apps? Are there specific features you’d like to see?
I believe an app like this could save us all a lot of time (and keep those apprentices out of your ear). Let me know your opinions!
