Strategy
Suddenly making mobile/smart applications for the widely available platform oranized as community projects or by starting a startup company is hope based strategy. However we need to realize that while making an application shall be easy, distributing it and hoping that might reach the right people out there and further hoping that we might get some degree of financial contribution from the user itself or showing this as proof to make ourselves funded from other organizations.
However placing ourself vicinity to the users makes us more specific, while @ end of the day, it would be required by only the people who would need it. Now placing ourseof in between the developers/designers and the technology, will make our portfolio great, more developers using our productive components, thus making our contribution a necessity for the developer community, which pushes them to financially support us back on a more smooth fluctuations than directly dealing with end users of mobile device - enabling more economic stability.
Our prodctive tool shall not be a complicated one like a IDE or compiler or even a editor. But shall be a UI/UX components, libraries, which are good in performance, best possible UX, and collection of demonstrative applications explaining use cases. However, we shall also make apps that are essential or niche addressing a huge community or for a socio-economic cause or which shall bring high volume sustenance to the coop.
