Redesign Applait's Pitch

[debloper]

Maybe we'll need a wiki page to track changes in contents (org-gists don't exist... what a shame!), but let's chalk-out the outlines of Applait's new pitch.

Posting here some of those archived as text files in my HDD for quite a while.

We (Applait) are a small, highly talented group of people lucky to have discovered each other (and zinged rightaway, since then), set out to make 2045 not to fail us as 2015 already did (Sorry, Marty McFly - we still don't have Hoverboards).

Humor apart, we make seemingly primitive technology/platforms ready for the future. Right now, we're working on am Unified Communication Technology, that "may" (and we're hopeful - it will) change the world - the way Interconnected Networks (Internet) changed the world a couple of decades back.

Here's the team: http://applait.com/#team
Here's the product: http://grouphone.me/
(first of the 3 upcoming services - based on our own unified comms platform)

Being a communications platform, we need a high-throughput host to comfortably maintain the service quality (streaming of media). Also, the realtime transcoding of the audio/video/media elements (although highly optimized - almost 10x the industry standard) requires significantly higher processing capability than casual API/frontend servers. We're currently hosting off of Digital Ocean boxes.

The marketing strategy is to develop the public facing (B2C) communication solution (which also interoperates with existing silo'd solutions), and gain popularity among the mass (already having a good traction, and a community - http://zone.applait.com/). Based on that, eventually, we'll intend to sell/license our underlying platform to other orgs (B2B) to help them develop interoperable communication tools for the future.

Applait is a futuristic startup, set out to make some technological primitives get better, often, by redesigning mid-twentieth-century concepts under early-twenty-first century light.

Although, a lot of ideas (that we've identified so far) fall into this category, we've started out with communication technologies... a very primitive building block of our today's world, mostly consumed as-is from decades-old-concepts.

For (one-off) example, you cannot join a hangouts (one solution provider) call from skype (another solution provider) - and that seems to be obvious & non-problematic on the surface (oh, isn't it how it's supposed to be!?!).

Almost half a century back - each kind of computers had its own set of assembly-languages - you couldn't write program for one, being on another kind of system - and that, similarly, was norm. But today, you can write a fitness app on mac, that can run on iOS, Android, wearables - or a web-service on linux, that runs on any platform with a web-broswer. And our jaw doesn't drop at that anymore.

If today, cross-platform development seems so obvious, then why not cross-media communication? Hence, we at Applait, have set out to make a Unified Communication Over Real-time Networks (http://applait.com/docs/unicorn-story.pdf), that doesn't only let all the solutions built on top of it to interop, but, to have adapters to talk to the solutions which weren't built on top of our platform as well.

Our working prototype of this theoretical model is ready, and we're working on writing basic solutions (group audio communication for humans, inter-device communication for IoT/machines etc.) to popularize the concept. Please, help us! :)

I masturbated to this just now.

@debloper Wikis are better. The only problem is that they are not realtime. The hardcore way is to have them as .md files in this repo itself.
