Tersus: Re: Radical future for Tersus?

Re: Radical future for Tersus?Date: Feb 2, 2009Hi David,

Thanks for the reply.

Whilst I fully support the cross-platform-nature of Tersus I can't help feeling that a huge opportunity to drive wider commercial & "community" adoption of the product might be being missed here. There is to my knowledge no "visual" tool (in the fantastic way Tersus is visual) for developing iPhone / iPod applications.

If Tersus provided the kind of thing I postulated, say in its Enterprise version, my gut feeling it that it would be a MASSIVE hit. Developing for iPhone is the hottest topic at most product companies I know and to provide the wider world an ability of bringing their projects to iPhone without being a hard-core Objective C guru would be big. Very big. Sales of the Enterprise version of Tersus could then help drive feature-development & support of the community edition.

Unless I'm mistaken the ShoppingList iPhone tutorial demonstrates how Tersus can provide a native-user-interface experience to iPhone / iPod Touch users? This in itself is impressive stuff but it's not really what I had in mind. For instance; presumably one couldn't submit such an "application" to Apple for inclusion in the App Store as we're basically talking about an"iPhone enabled web app" running server side? Forgive me if I've misunderstood.

If an iPhone "runtime engine" existed where one could wrap it and one's Tersus-modelled app together into a binary that could be submitted to the App Store, then one could monetize one's application as many thousands of developers now do, and generate a significant revenue stream via sales on the App Store.

Basic Googling will reveal the size of the market Apple has created for iPhone / iPod applications through its App Store. At the moment nobody has a visual tool with which they can create their killer app for iPhone. I'd pay a lot of money for that.

Step forward Tersus?

Kind Regards,
