Try it out and give me feedback on what you like, and how you could see it being useful.

Bear in mind I'm currently studying and have limited time.

Use it if it's helpful and give feedback on things which you might find it helpful for me to develop further.

Tell me if you're interested in the concept.

Would you be able to help in testing or development?

 

Do you like any parts of the site?

For a small, negotiable consulting fee to support our study, I'll happily advise how you could do a similar thing, give you my code, or develop something similar for you.

I can also arrange very reasonable web hosting.
