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.

Abstract Complex technical projects have various needs for sustainable success. Interested parties need a working product and creative workers need appropriate incentives. However, it has become increasingly apparent that the standard development model is not enough. The disconnect between technical workers and non-technical managers leaves both with dismal results and low morale. That is why we are introducing a fresh approach, which we call shared projects . Introduction We believe that the standard model for managing creative work is fundamentally flawed. Traditionally, non-technical managers would funnel payment to technical workers, in exchange for the product of their work. That system inevitably led to a major disconnect, since then there was no way for the managers to understand the nature of the work. Naturally, this caused many strained relationships and counterproductive decisions. Managers have to make personnel and compensation decisions based on their best judg...

CCL (Contact Codes Lite™) would be a software product to help people exchange many kinds of contact information much more easily. CCL would do this by providing users with relatively simple contact codes . The users could distribute the codes to many people in many ways. Then, a person who received a contact code could use it to retrieve the original person's contact information through CCL. For example, many people still exchange business cards. Retrieving various information from the cards can be time consuming and error prone, especially when there are many cards. Also, when somebody updates their information, the information from the card is no longer valid. Other good examples for usage of contact codes include: On a slide in a presentation In email signatures On name tags In applications that provide limited space for profile information Whenever you want to provide easy access to many different contact options without listing each The main thing that would make ...

Pain Story Software development costs a lot and still ends up with a bunch of bugs. Developers are frustrated because they can tell there's a problem: the development process is managed in a way that is very counterproductive. There's a systemic problem in the way software is developed in most companies: the process is fundamentally flawed. Business relationships with software developers breakdown through issues with communication, roles, scope, timelines, and productivity. Grand Vision As a leader in business, what if you could get business problems and other real world problems solved without the current issues inherent to managing developers? As a developer, what if you could have everything you need to develop, without the usual pain associated with going through a corporation to do it? We propose OSM (Open Software Market), a system to facilitate people to: Inspire : Think of great ideas? Share to find out which will fly Influence : Aware of needs? Promote...
