Modern mobile apps have evolved into something bulky and clumsy. Developers add more features to their apps to keep up with competitors, and each of these features implements in its own way. As a result, the user has to juggle hundreds of applications and use only one or two functions in each.
But there is another approach to software - unix-way. This approach creates small applications that perform only one or two functions, but perform them perfectly. More complex apps use simpler ones, communicating with them via open protocols. Because of this, you don't need to write what has already been written. Apps don't compete with each other, but work together.
But from a financial point of view, open-source is sad. No, you can make money on free software, but the reward is nothing like the market for proprietary software and closed source.
Startup Сardstack offers a revolution in the field of application, armed with open standards and blockchain technology.
Cardstack developers create a framework for new types of apps. Such applications will perform a small number of functions, but they will perform perfectly.
But if in a unix environment, the interaction of such applications with the user occurred through a text command line, in Cardstack apps will have a full graphical interface and look like cards from which you can create new apps. The new app developer requires payment cryptocurrency - there is a program card for payment. Need a chat ? The chat card is at his service. And so on.
How is the problem with unfair reward of software developers solved? First, all software will be paid. But paid doesn't mean expensive. Remember WhatsApp, which until 2016 cost $ 1 per year. That's just over 8 cents a month. Really good software is not worth so much?
But most of the money given for the application won't go to the software developer, not to the app store, but to the modules developers that make up the application (those cards). And the payment will depend on the user's actions - the more features of a particular card he uses, the greater the payment percentage will receive the developer of this card.
Such a scheme motivates developers to create not "complete application", but cards, developing the ecosystem. Unix-way,labor division and decent pay for the work of developers will allow to polish the cards to perfection.
This is where blockchain technologies and smart contracts are needed. Smart contracts will protect the rights of developers, and compliance with the rules will be monitored by local miners who receive part of the payment for their services for applications.
The currency on the platform will be crypto-currency tokens CARD. Now the ICO is being prepared, where it will be possible to buy tokens at a discount and finance the development of the project. Details on the Official website.
The developers of cardstack decided to turn the industry of mobile applications by combining unix-way and blockchain technology. Perhaps in a few years, we will remember the year 2018 and wonder how it was possible to use such clumsy, bulky and buggy applications.
