This is how they do in Indian railways. We book tickets. If it's full, we get waiting list number which will be confirmed a day before or on traveling day. If not confirmed, it will be cancelled automatically and refund sent to your account.
Try releasing your tools in public if allowed. Use the public datasets like in opendata.gov.in to create analytical reports for specific sector like fmcg. Use the tools and report for consulting and training teams in those sector to use the data.
When Google maps came, we said the same. It won't work in India. There's no order in door numbering or Street names. They have to use landmarks and all that. But that's what Google did. In the driving directions in India, you can see lot of landmark references. We always underestimate what a tech can do. I am hoping we are wrong on this one too.
We hardcoded the data in the JSON. Just show the potential. They may not know the exact requirements for the app. Also showing running app in real phone opens lot of opportunities.
My email is in profile. Ping me if you want to chat.
Develop a prototype app for your targeted customer.
We developed prototype android app with data in JSON included in apk. We showed it to prospective clients and landed project.
When you do consulting, you create asset for the client. But in side projects the asset can be yours. And assets may grow in value compared to consulting revenue.
I don't travel frequently. When I do, install the app at home and then uninstall on return. So they can't track me when I am not using them. I understand it's not for everybody.

In construction the hardware part is pretty much standardized. Very little new hardware is coming up. But in software development, hardware is still evolving very fast (processor, memory, bus, fibre etc..). So software has to evolve along with hardware. Once hardware is standardized like CPU instruction set, then software will also be standardized with out any further significant development.
