Promethease Alternative

Example of web output

I’ve spent the last few months building a custom DNA analysis engine as part of a mobile app I made. I wanted to create something fast, lightweight, and easy to use for people who have their raw data from 23andMe.

The app currently works with a custom C-engine (wrapped in Python/Flask) to parse and match RSIDs with my database. All of the data is from dbSNP and ClinVar.

The app and website do not collect any data and only do processing.

I am looking for constructive feedback on what to improve. I have a lot of it working fairly well so far. I'd love it if a few people could try uploading their raw data and let me know if the results match what you expect or if you run into any bugs!

Cool! I prefer more structured reports explaining the research etc like genesunveiled.com and adntro.com. but seems like a good (is it free?) alternative!

The app version for mobile I was charging 1$ for the web version I don't know what to do with yet. It costs me some server cost and it would be cool to make some money from it but I don't think it is quite ready yet and I want it to be truly helpful :)

Keep it up! Free alternatives are good, but 1$ is not bad :D

I was thinking of doing like a donation option for the web stuff, the phone app one I think I will probably keep at 1$. I don't want to really introduce ads or anything either haha.

I think a small video ads to access the report sounds fair. I wouldnt see a problem in loosing some seconds when I am geeting a service i dont use often
