- Product Description
- Toolgether is the world's first online community for sharing user contributed simple web applications (tools). IT professionals and computer hobbyists can now quickly web-ify small offline programs into useful online tools that can be easily shared, embedded and monetized. With no need for web programming experience, no vendor lock-in and no time or money required for hosting, toolgether provides the best way to share your valuable tools with others.
- Market Opportunity
- Software market is undergoing a fundamental change of moving online. Toolgether sits in the sweet spot of this trend by providing a platform to help the 15 million (source:IDC) IT professionals and countless computer hobbyists develop new services online. McKinsey estimates the size of this nascent Platform-as-a-service market at $3 billion.
- DEMO Says
- In the great wave of user-generated content, one type of creative expression has been left onshore – software. Plenty of tools make it relatively easy for people to create simple applications. Hosting Web applications, however, remains squarely in the experienced developers’ domain. Toolgether bridges the world of simple programming and complex Web hosting, making it almost as simple to post and host a Web application as it is to post a video on YouTube. The result, we think, will spawn an exciting community of novice developers and a rich library of creative applications.
