Max, Katya, thank you.

I was reading a lot on the issue of app development using cloud IDEs, read about parse.com acquisition by Facebook, i think (or twitter). The point is that i frankly don't quiet understand the target audience (or in other words what apps should i develop to be successful? Under successful i mean - i should create them quickly and i would have business benefits (e.g. high payed). What i'm saying is that your service, i think, is nearly perfect for enterprise applications - but there are not too many business cases for enterprises to use mobile apps (or maybe i just don't see them). On the other hand there is huge consumer market, but in top100 everything are almost games, not business apps. So, again, what are the cases - find customer and develop app for him? But this is not pretty scalable as customers have other needs and you cannot just create mobile apps for them (usually the margin is somewhat between 20 to 30%), so then you should offer them complex services - e.g. somewhat as enterprise service bus, but from the cloud perspective. So... sorry for my thoughts being too well structured - i'm just typing the way i think right now.
In general, what I'm trying to ask:

  • what is the audience (e.g. what is the business case for me to use the service - just to offer enterprises custom app development and just speed up the process (although it seems that it won't be twice speed up - maybe 50%...?? or maybe you see or envision other business cases?
  • do you think your service can be used for consumer apps? And if yes - what are the cases? I mean that creating another twitter, linkedin, weather app with regular functionality makes no chance of making it popular (have ROI for it).
  • so whom are you really waiting for - what kind of developers/companies? what is their business model? This question is to understand whether I would suit this model (maybe i just don't see what other see).

Appery.io platform is best for creating content-driven, data-driven apps, connected to any APIs. These of course can be consumer apps or enterprise apps. This is our tag line on the home page: Accelerate Mobile Innovation in the Enterprise.

You would be surprised how high the demand is for enterprise mobile apps or internal mobile apps. Talking to various businesses, they need hundreds of internal mobile apps but don't have the resources to build them fast enough. Appery.io is a perfect platform for creating (and updating) enterprise mobile apps fast - and deploy the app to multiple platform at once (HTML5, Android, iOS).

With Appery.io: app builder, database, push, and server code features -- it's the complete cloud platform for creating enterprise mobile apps.

Max, thank you very very very much. You gave me a clue - i just googled 'enterprise mobile apps' and found a bunch of resources on selected theme; started looking at the 1st link on this. Max, but on the other hand - is there a theme which customers are eager to pay for, say in US? I mean that in banking business - banks are eager to pay for credit fabrics (e.g. fabrics that speed up the process of credit acquisition as they allow them to get more money in an hour, and on the other hand they don't wanna pay (or in such a big scale) for automatization of back office operations (because they don't have business cases that say - hey - we would automatize back office and then we would earn more - they say - hey - we currently have staff to do this and we don't wanna pay for your extra software - we're not sure that this would bring us the money). Could you please help figure out such business cases that would be like credit fabrics?

I'm not an expert on this.. you can probably find a lot of information on the Internet on what kind of consumer apps consumers are willing to spend money.
