I like the idea of a constellation of small applications but I cannot envisage how it work. If you have written an app (library) that I want to use, I use it directly, or I can clone it.
The former requires that I trust you completely and permanently and is therefore not likely to happen in serious contexts. The latter requires a round-trip through my VCS anyway, so what benefit does this feature bring over e.g. Github?
- korenyushkin 17y agoThe Akshell is all about the former way. The idea is the following: I administrate basic utilities and libraries and you trust me because you use Akshell. These applications are free, they have public repositories at http://bitbucket.org/akshell/ http://bitbucket.org/akshell/; so the development is driven by the community and is beneficial for everyone. I am responsible for consistency, stability, etc. The resulting environment is easy for development, is formed by a community, and is stable. Other developers could gain an authority and authour such applications as well. In future, they will be able to make money on it. The cloning is a good way for libraries, but in Akshell you could create utilities as well. It's easy to explain by an example: in the profile application users save their profiles; other applications could access them. Cloning the profile code is senseless, because its data matter.
