I've one some searching and I've never seen
any program whose purpose was to connect
two computers with the expressed purpose of
having a Dom(me)/ sub relationship with the
other person.

What I'm proposing is a number of us work
together to build this very thing. I want this
to be a free program for people to use so I'm
asking those interested in helping to donate
their time to this project.

This program should have a number of features
like two-way OR one-way webcam usage. chat
windows. file delivery system. a calendar for
scheduling things to do. pretty much an all around
tool for online Dom(me) relationships. Anyone who
other ideas for what this program should do, save
them for later at the moment lets see if we can get
this off the ground.
If anyone who is willing to help has questions please
send them and i will answers ASAP.

I think it is a good idea. I think, however, it might be worth while to take a little stock in what is out there already...

[*] Teamviewer, Splashtop and a number of other applications provide remote control. Teamviewer allows for remote lockout, file transfer, chat. etc. Both MacOS, Linux and Windows all have native remote tools as well.
[*] There are free tools for one or two-way webcam viewing
[*] Google Calendar
[*] KeePass for windows password keychaning. Mac OS and Linux have this functionality built-in.

What do you envision beyond these things? That might help further along the discussion.

I don't see the purpose. Everything you describe can be easily arranged with existing applications. Just merging a bunch of functionality in one app? Well, it'll be very limited. Very little ammount of people will actually find it useful.

I can see it being limited but what i was envisioning is tailored towards the Dom/ sub relationship. like when installed you get an option to choose... Dom. sub. Switch. ETC. And I was thinking of getting other peoples input on what they would like to see in this program like options and such.

does this make sense?
any other questions?
or ideas on how to make it unique?

I get the idea and i think its great, love it!

So I could log on and put in 'Sub' and interested in 'Male, Female, TS Doms'... and it would match me with a male, female or ts dom looking for a female sub!

Do it!

that wasn't quite what i was thinking but it certainly is a good idea. . Adding a Dom/ sub finder is a great idea. I might be able to build this program but some body with actual experience would be nice.

Any other questions?
Comments?
Ideas?

I think it's a great idea. It should be an iOS and android app that allows:

1) tracking "points" (reward/punishment points counting)
2) assigning tasks to specific times or due-dates, allow photo uploads as evidence of completion
3) private secure text message, audio message, video message. Private secure audio chat and video chat. (there are third party libraries to include this in an app, but then there could be security/privacy concerns with the provider).
4) "hidden" screen so that if someone grabs your phone it looks innocent to them.
5) track time between sending a message and responding to it (punishment points for delays)
6) random tasks assigned at random times without the sub knowing whether it was a direct assignment or a random (computer generated) one. Also scheduled tasks at scheduled times (e.g. sexy dance nightly, nightly self-spanking.)
7) summary screen of past performance/behaviour
8) tracking last orgasm (last bathroom break, last sleep, last meal, whatever is being rationed.)

I agree with the other person who said that most of these things could be done with existing apps. But it would be better to have this in a custom app designed for couples, and the things that seem like they might be harder to program (video chat, backend database, etc.) might have existing third-party libraries.

I would recommend marketing it as a vanilla program for private communication between husband and wife (boyfriend/girlfriend/transfriend). That way it might get accepted in the Apple App Store and might benefit more people. If a couple decides to use it for BDSM that's up to them. But vanilla couples could use it for cybersex, setting expectations, communicating desires, sending regular reminders (put the trash out, laundry day), communicating happiness scores/providing relationship feedback, accountability partners for addictive behaviours (stop smoking, lose weight) etc.

BTW I don't see any use for this on the desktop/laptop. But, on the smart phone I think it would be fantastic. I get a little sound alert and know my girl has made a request, and I'd better hop to it. I'd get aroused just thinking about what it might be, and when I had a private moment to check, I might find some fun waiting for me, or maybe it was just a message to "pick up milk on the way home" in a private unobtrusive secure message, which would be useful as well.

Oh, I forgot to mention another feature I had imagined: preprogrammed rewards for completing tasks (punishments for failing tasks). E.g. when you send over a task you could specify a few reward points and upload a (sexy) selfy. The sub doesn't get to see the picture until he uploads the photo evidence of completing the task. That way, even just picking up the milk on the way home after work could turn into an exciting task. And, if the sub fails the task (forgets to get the milk) s/he has to admit failure, lose a few points, and might even be assigned a random punishment (see the punishments in Online Stamina Trainer for samples).

I found googling "Honey Do App" useful. Found an existing app called "Simply Us" which is marketed as 100% vanilla. No reward/punishment points but it seems to have the private chat, lists, and calendar features that could be used for this sort of communication.

I think what you're looking for is Sub_Control & Sub_Control_control on sexscripts!
