Company Performance Metrics
Today freelancer community has gained exponential growth with resources availability and quality of developer’s community. This growth also leads to a landscape of lesser of opportunities for the freelancers and make a living out of only freelancing through an online platform. What could be other potential alternate revenue opportunities that can
help freelancer to sustain and also be a contributor to the community? Yes, there are few revenue opportunities. One listing their unique and frequency required scripts, plugins, templates, packages on an online platform for sales.
There are few major challenges faced by developer’s community in choosing the right platform for buying and selling their software packages.
Managing Source Code updates : As a developer we always have this issue of managing a source code and updating using the repository we maintain locally. Today thanks to GIT repositories we are doing this process with ease.
PackageCart is a GIT marketplace with GIT repository to manage the source codes for easy updates and provides ease of code/package updates & support for the buyers.
No Source Code control : Again this issue is managing the versions of the source where your customers also get instant update to their repositories. This is with ease can be achieved in PackageCart through the GIT which most of the developer’s community manages it today.
IP Theft: This is a very important issue and needs a clear agreements needs to be defined between buyer n sellers. PackageCart Platform should provide an implicit agreement between buyer and seller acting as a legal agreement over any obligations so that all issues can be sorted over the platform.
More Author fee : Today mostly the author’s fees are very high and owners of the packages gets a small cut from their sales. In fact this should be other way where platform should get a small cut from the sales and allowing the authors to get maximum revenue from their sales. In PackageCart author fees are kept at an minimal 10% and there is no fee for buyers.
We have tried solving the concerns and challenges in a marketplace for buying/selling sources codes through PackageCart.
PackageCart is the first online marketplace to buy and sell source code packages using git. We would happy to hear to experience and feedback with PackageCart for improving this community.
