I'm developing the same thing but for myself exclusively. To me personally, the HMRC MTD is an abomination. Before MTD was introduced, I could do my own books and could submit the results directly to HMRC via their website. No third parties necessary. Now they are telling me that I have to pay up to some third party to achieve the same thing AND to send my data through them. So either pay up or agree to be spied on or both. Sorry, but that's unacceptable to me. Orvellian technocracy dictatorship right there. Hence, I'm building my own open-source desktop HMRC MTD app for self-employed. It's not production-ready yet but it is getting there. Everyone is welcome to join me in development here: https://github.com/AtmanActive/MyOpenUKTaxApp

Honestly, ive seen the problems pre MTD, but i cant help feeling this is heading towards even more orwellian heights.
I am not a UK citizen, but I know that you are doing meaningful work. I sincerely hope you achieve great results.
Thankyou Ken-Jo I have put a lot of effort into this and its a completely new scene for me =. I appreciate your kind words
