App Development To be Revolutionised by Crowd Machine

If you own a Smartphone then you're probably an app aficionado and don't even realise it. We all have curated our phones in our own image by downloading apps that apply to us, our lifestyle choices and the things we find important.

• Some love games - Like mobile gamers
• Some love prepare food or to eat out - Like foodies
• Some love to take photos & share them - Like social media influencers
• Some love to into finance - Like crypto enthusiasts

There are many more personality types and some even cross over a few categories and have curated a variation of apps that suit their unique interests. The fact that we are able to do this is because of the app marketplace which allows developers the ability to package their ideas and a small piece of the internet into a convenient application that services a specific need in the market.

Apps are growing and its said that the total app market currently stands at a whopping $77 billion dollars which is a substantial amount of resources being centralised by the current app space.

The current app space

What I mean by centralised is that the current barrier to entry in creating your own apps is pretty high, if you're a non-techy you'll need to enlist the help of a developer

If you are techy you'll need to use certain app tools like Swift or Xamarin to create your app and while there are new app software companies trying to make it easier to build apps for the little guy they simply won't be able to compete with projects funded by Apple. Google & Microsoft, they do not have the capacity or the resources.

The current market also holds patents on code and scripts and if you need something specific you need to fork our large sums of cash for access to their API's so, either way, they're always winning.

Time to disrupt

So its safe to say the big players have got this market on lock? Yes, they do, but perhaps not for long. Blockchain technology is here to stay and it's only a matter of time before it begins to enter more industries outside just basic cryptocurrency, its potential and use is limitless.

So what if we could create a global marketplace that allows app developers to create apps, or modules of code that other developers or non-techys can use to build their apps and reward them for doing so. Instead of every app project having to reinvent the wheel and build from scratch you can source from a global community fo insight, expertise and software that's already been created opening up a free market of ideas, code, partnership possibilities and so much more.

Doesn't that sound like something this market needs? Well Crowd Machine thought so too and put this plan into action

What is Crowd Machine?

Crowd Machine is a cryptocurrency project that uses blockchain technology and smart contracts to create an open development environment for users to create apps and dApps with or without a technology development background.

So how does it work?

Crowd Computer aims to use shared computational power. Users who want to support the netowrk can devote a portion of their computational power to the network in exchange for rewards in CMCT. By joining the Crowd Machine network they will be able to monetize the remaining idle CPU!

Get paid to create and support

People who participate in the Crowd Machine technology community combine to form the most advanced distributed network and decentralized app technology available today. Community members can be App Authors, those that create apps, or App Processors or simply those who use their devices to run apps on the network.

Whether an App Author or App Processor you are all equally important in sustaining the network and keeping it growing and that's why community members are paid for their participation.

What I think about this project

As someone who has tried his hand at creating websites and apps using the current set of tools I can tell you that it is costly, time-consuming and in need of an upgrade especially if apps are going to transcend the borders into 3rd world countries who could hugely benefit from these technological innovations.

Giving people affordable access to resources of this scale will only serve to attract the best and brightest ideas and talent from around the world to participate and create an open community of innovation that could see a revolution not only in app development but towards the improvement of technology and software in general.
