Last week I had this great idea of a p2p filesharing application (client), and when I got home from work I started my research to see if there wasn’t one already out there. So after several hours I came to the conclusion that no-one had the same thing, or even a similar app I was brainstorming on.
I’ve spent several hours during the days adding functionalities and technology to it, but this is only on paper so far. The problem I got now is that I don’t know anyone that can code in C++, which is the desired programming language at this time. But at the same time I’m looking at other languages for Mac and Linux based systems too.. but I would rather start off with with a windows version to see if it goes smooth.
Basically, we got the normal BitTorrent clients and other filesharing applications out there, and I personally use µTorrent myself, but the one I want doesn’t exist, because no other client has those feature I’m looking for. And I really think that others would see this as a way forward in the p2p community. So many things to think about when it comes to the client, but at the same time I want to incorporate the whole idea into a website as well for extended functionalities. Although this idea will be a freeware type of client for all to enjoy, I also try to see if there would be a way to make this into a commercial product, but I rather see it work freely first and then later go down that path.
More on this later, I’m getting late for work.
The most troublesome part is that I don’t know where to start. I’m a bit worried that someone else would steal the idea, and therefor I need to find people that are locally based for further brainstorming.
