There are several monetization models here: subscription, advertising and publication of applications, and even donations. They all work for other development tools. Plus, a market for developers will be created and they will be able to sell their creations. Plus web3 friendly.
Here is the samples https://github.com/goldenwebb/Tasks/issues https://github.com/goldenwebb/Tasks/issues
The project will grow and need thousands of developers will be able to improve the system, which will ensure KPI and investors will be able to earn
> Everyone wants to do this. The question is why you and why now? Are you willing to take the leap of faith to see the project to the next step? Will you quit a cozy paycheck to work through the few bugs and get users on the platform?
I created the core, the technology, it works and now it's time to expand the community. 10 years ago I left my job to do this project. Initially, I did not want to take investments, because I needed to figure out what it was (I'm a techie) and I thought that I could complete the project in 3 years maximum. In 2014, external circumstances such as the war changed my plans and my expenses increased exponentially, so I had to spend a lot of time at work. 2 months ago I left my last job and was able to fix most of the bugs to show the project to the public, but the time is up and now the choice is either to take the job again, which will mean a downtime in the project, or to find a donation / investment "willing to take the leap of faith to see the project to the next step" and give investors and developers an opportunity to earn money and get a fan. New programming is fun.
- verdverm 4y ago> The project will grow How do you know this?
- ellis0n 4y agoBecause there are technical superiorities and gives new opportunities. People like and want to install the app, from designers to programmers. People only ask when? As an experienced developer and programming languages evangelist, I have never seen anything like this. This is fun.

I've put my own project out there (https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hof https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hof) and got feedback that I would never have, had I not. I now use the feature more than the user does :] What's even more motivating than having them tell you they want it, is hearing about how they are using it, and then learning what household name companies they work at! They also found bugs that I would not have, just by using the tool differently than I had. Your early users will be tolerant if bugs are what keeps you from releasing the first version. No software is bug free, no product survives first contact.
- ellis0n 4y agoThanks for the extended suggestion. This motivates. I was thinking about this but wanted to show a better solution with no bugs in the UI. But on the other hand, developers can modify their interface from a computer. There is also a documentation issue, although this can be resolved in chat. There are not so many people with iPad here, I think more people will be here https://forums.macrumors.com https://forums.macrumors.com do you know how to get an invite there? My old account was lost a few years ago after a website redesign. I wrote to them but no response.
- verdverm 4y agoNot sure about mac related things other than you'll probably want to make your project installable via homebrew... some many distribution systems... such a pain
- ellis0n 4y agoHey, just checked your profile and saw that you are working on the CUE proglang. CUE is amazing, I saw it a while ago. :) I usually use config.js or config.py but that's unsafe.
