Nice idea but you have some competition. Won't mention sites on here, played with a identical solution a few weeks ago. Also found somewhere that is doing a WP app for a one off charge of $17, you download source code, edit it, compile it and submit it to the app store.

Competition should generally be looked at as market validation. How many companies have competition and are doing fine?

I had the exact same idea a year ago. Looked for competitors and found one very good looking that provided this service for free, with a great website. That's why I didn't develop it. I hope there's enough demand so that op has success, though.

I was the CEO of a startup and I spoke to people who had the same idea that I had. They had the idea a year early but I was lunching the product.

I don't think you should stop startup up a business because there are competitors.

Competitors don't kill you. Most entrepreneurs kill their ideas themselves.
