I consider this crazy because abandoning the development and having it just sit there seemed crazy to a lot of people. Pikluk was a damn great idea with a few paying customers who are absolutely in love with a tiny percentage of what actually got implemented.
But in the end, after exhausting some personal savings, we just could not find the resources to keep working on it and we lacked PR to sell it on eBay for a six-figure sum.
- dugmartin 17y agoI used Pikluk for a while with my kids after thinking of an idea around the same area and then finding you did it. If its any consolation you did a very, very nice job on the interface.
- dugmartin 17y agobtw, I just read your user bio page. It says "Before web I've been doing fairly low-level high-perf C++/Win32 work for industrial automation". That is my exact background - my case with C/assembly working on the real time OS for GE Fanuc's 90-70 programmable logic controller. What drives real time systems engineers to want to build kid friendly interfaces?
- aarongough 17y agoProbably the fact that building a service so user-friendly and easy to use that a child can enjoy it is the exact opposite of the crazy stuff that you have to do to build embedded and real-time systems... I salute you guys! Without you the world as we know it would not turn. Now, I'm off to code in Ruby...
