PicPlots Release Candidate
A finite digital-real-estate board where buyers choose a numbered plot, add a photo, label, and link, and remain visible on a shared canvas. Native iOS and Android release candidates use the same board and backend contract.
What it is
PicPlots is a marketplace organised around a finite grid of numbered plots. Each purchased plot can display one image, a label, and a destination link on the shared board. Limited inventory and featured Top 12 placements make availability concrete instead of presenting an endless feed.
Target market
- Creators and small businesses that want an image and link on a shared, discoverable board.
- Communities and campaigns that want a numbered placement that stays active with its subscription.
- Collectors and early adopters attracted to limited, addressable plot inventory.
Current status
- Web upgrade pending deployment. A public version exists at picplots.com, but the hardened checkout, reservation, moderation, and lifecycle release must pass production acceptance before it is called launch-ready.
- Native browse-only release candidates. iOS and Android can browse and report public content; native purchasing stays disabled while store-policy and entitlement work remains gated.
- Transactional backend. Plot availability is checked before checkout and claimed authoritatively after verified payment; concurrent buyers cannot overwrite one another.
- Safer conflict recovery. If another buyer takes a selected plot first, the product recommends a nearby numbered plot instead of leaving the customer at a dead end.
- Shared board contract. Web and native clients read the same public claims and use the same server-owned purchase and upload boundaries.
Why it lives under NIRO
The drone-hardware program runs on multi-quarter lead times. PicPlots can ship on a much faster cadence and is designed to create a recurring software-revenue path that supports hardware quoting, bench testing, and compliance work.
Key technical specs (in plain language)
In plain English: the server—not the browser—owns payment fulfillment and final plot assignment. Native submission claims stay gated until the release candidates pass the same purchase, device, and moderation checks on iOS and Android.
