Hey everyone,
I've been working on developing a mobile web application for iPhone, Android, etc. I'm using PHPRunner as the backbone for my app, but having to perform tons of tweaks, not only in CSS, but also with the structural ouput files generated after compiling a project. I know many of us have asked Sergey/Jane/Ann and the rest of the crew for a mobile compatible site. Some of us have requested more Web 2.0 themese, etc.
Here's what I am proposing to the community:
Lets use a "GroupOn" (http://www.groupon.com) type model to help Xlinesoft expedite the development of a mobile theme for PHpRunner by pre-paying for such a theme before it is even built! Sergey would set a total dollar amount goal, which would be the required minimum amount for them to commence development on the theme.
For example:
Sergey would announce that such an endeavor would require at least $10,000 of revenue to justify its development. Then, based on the number of people interested in buying the mobile template, we would divide the minimum price by expected number of buyers, and use that result as the "individual purchase price" that each buyer would have to buy ahead of time.
Let's suppose that 200 people vote they would be willing to purchase the them... then we would all agree to pay $50 for the theme. Likewise, if only 100 people vote yes, then we would agree to $100 for the theme. Once this the price is established, each buyer would submit payment to Xlinesoft and they would only commence development AFTER the total buyers reaches the actual $10,000 minimum. The project would remain on hold, until actual purchases are able to surpass the $10,000 mark! This aensures that Xlinesoft will not be wasting their time, money, and resources on a project that may potentially not have a decent ROI.
What does everyone else think?
Vote for the idea here!!!
