http://unhosted.org

also known as "serverless", "client-side", or "static" web apps, unhosted web apps do not send your user data to their server. either you connect your own server at runtime, or your data stays within the browser.
        

• we offer web application
  • works on any device, no matter which platform or provider
• web app uses per-user data storage
  • each user has independent data storage
  • same data storage works on other unhosted web apps
• web app scales to infinite number of users at no additional backend cost

open source

• paradigm shift for development
  • open rather than closed
• we target early open source economy
• our software licensed under AGPL (copyleft)

TODO: make visual graph

consider

this set of production equipment

• 3d printers
• laser cutters
• cnc machines

historically

• expensive and closed source
• required significant investment
• only used for large-scale manufacturing
• found in small number of production factories

now

• cheap and open source
  • 3d printing
  • http://www.reprap.org/wiki/RepRap_Options#Models
  • http://www.makexyz.com/
  • laser cutters
  • http://labs.nortd.com/lasersaur/
  • cnc machines
  • http://www.shapeoko.com/
• within budget of everday consumers
• capable of large number of production microfactories

but personal equipment

left idle

• aside from occasional projects, personal equipment spends most of its time idle
• huge loss of equipment potential
• high demand for possible production
  • 3d printed parts
  • furniture
  • art
  • other things found on thingiverse, shapeways

the goal of unbazaar

connect consumers with local producers

• producers list equipment
  • equipment does bulk of work
  • helps repay initial equpiment cost
• consumers find equipment
  • less distance for shipping
  • competitive with existing prices
  • supports local business

target audience

early adopters

• hackerspaces
  • most have production equipment
  • 3d printers > laser cutters > cnc machines
  • list of hackerspaces
• members of hackerspaces
  • comfortable with bleeding edge systems (willing to go beyond status quo)
  • many have production equipment
  • many have already contributed to open source
