Sourdough starter app

Hi all,

I'm making a device at university that creates the perfect conditions for sourdough starters. This device also connects to a mobile application. I'm just curious and looking for some good insights in regard to what information would be useful to be shown through the mobile app and what sort of things you would want to know? Is there any specific information about your sourdough starter that you would want to be shown/notified about?

 

Thanks

  • when it starts rising 
  • When the starter is risen 30% ( to name one of many points of rise)
  • when the starter stop rising
  • when the gasses contain alcohol, shown in %
  • would like to plug in the flour type, particle size, and water, % or weight amounts
  • and how long the process is taking, a running clock 
  • beepers and timers would also be nice.
  • and it should have positive reinforcement comments if any
