Introduction
I am a freelance developer working remotely. It has come to my attention that there are often a lot of shall we call them "buzz applications" which people want from time to time. I have been fortunate enough to work on some of these applications because of my job.
What do I mean by buzz applications?
Anything cool, cutting edge or innovative, something that could possibly be on the cusp of popularity the world over. Given the time we live in and the rapid development of new technologies daily there are many entrepreneurs on the look out for something that might reward them financially. I am now trying to predict what will be popular and what might be asked for and make rapid prototypes which can be demonstrated to a client instantly by sending them a time limited demo. That is, I am no longer waiting for a request to make something, I just make it anyway and have a demo ready to show people if they are interested.
If the client is happy with the prototype, I build their custom application around it based on a requirements document from them.
Prototypes available now
Bluetooth promixity marketing - Adverts are automatically sent out to any bluetooth device nearby. This is a new prototype I have developed, as the original one I made was sold out right to a client in Dubai. I am currently working on a MOBILE version of this, allowing anyone on the move to send out adverts to nearby devices.
