Directives go in, apps come out.™ An app to get software created without managing developers How it works: Go to AppDirective and become a CodeBoss™ Provide a simple description of your problem to  launch a directive Sit back and enjoy reviewing and approving contributions AppDirective uses advanced technology to get the software developed that you want, without you ever needing to hire a developer. Note: This app is currently about halfway built, at the time this is being posted. We plan to have it completed soon. Until then, please leave a comment or contact us  to become a boss. Q&A: Q: How do I get recognized for being original? A: When you launch a directive, you stake a claim to your app idea on a first-come, first-served basis. AppDirective™ keeps an unchanging public record that you deserve credit for claiming the idea at that time. Q: Does launching a directive protect my legal rights? A: No. Directives do not provide any leg...

Newmonic™ would be a software product to help people save information to be securely and easily accessible through any Internet connected device. Newmonic™ also aims to help people save information more quickly, more safely, and in larger quantities. The customer would only need to setup the app, and then they would be able to use Newmonic™ on their device the same way they would use traditional storage--except there would be more of it and it would be faster and more secure. Observations : There is a trend of increasing interest in accessing the same information at different locations and through different devices. Also, the need for faster, more secure, and larger quantities of persistence seems like it will continue to grow indefinitely.  There is already a definite trend to use RAM in large quantities as a substitute for persistent storage. RAM is much faster than persistent storage. Strong enough encryption is available to keep data as secure in the cloud practically as if...

Fog Machine™ (named because fog is like a cloud, on the ground) is a software product to provide cloud services to customers without a cloud service provider. The problem with the traditional cloud is that it requires a provider. Fog Machine™ would run cloud "nodes" in idle system resources on ordinary user's devices. This would be a peer to peer system in which each connected device would be a peer. It would support standard cloud APIs (perhaps Cloud Foundry?) and it would be easy to port cloud apps to it off providers such as Google cloud, Azure, or AWS--or maybe it would be effortless for apps that were already portable through compliance with open standards. We might use encryption for privacy, redundancy for reliability, and remuneration/incentive for resource consistency. The showstopper (critical assumption) is that the synergy would be sufficient to significantly surpass the overhead, and provide competitive performance for at least some types of cloud applica...

Silver Lightning™ is a hardware product to provide a streamlined solution for personal computing. It aims to be a more secure and reliable replacement for a physical PC. It would accomplish this by using a smartphone app to setup and use a virtual computer image running in the cloud. It would include a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, Chromecast, Android App, and Amazon WorkSpaces desktop. It would work by using the app to setup and connect to a WorkSpaces desktop, then integrate the peripherals and display, passing through control between those and the WorkSpaces desktop. Silver Lightning™ would pass input from the keyboard and mouse to the cloud desktop, and provide output audio and video from the cloud desktop to a display (such as a TV) through the Chromecast. These integrations would be performed by a smartphone app so the customer would not need any physical PC device at his location. Observations: Many people have and use mobile devices before obtaining and setting up a P...
