IC Pack
IC Pack is an apps package manager (like Google Play), but for remote apps. It redefines SaaS by making SaaS-apps installable and user-owned. Internet users (and future AI agents) lost control over their apps in cloud era due to SaaS. An app may be up-priced, hacked, blocked, undesirably updated, gone bankrupt. Apps installed with my package manager cannot be removed or updated without user's consent - While the user pays for hardware, the app works. IC Pack will also provide a standard for "events" and "permissions" between apps. Unlike Google Play we support installing apps from multiple repositories. (It is anticipated that every developer creates their own repository.) There is provided a bootstrapper of the package manager that helps to install the package manager and partially installed package manager to finish its own installation. There is a simple API for installing package manager together with a third-party app, so app authors will advertise our package manager together with their apps. The canisters of the package manager are well-protected against non-returning-function DoS attack. We are going to make money charging 10% of paid apps prices, 5% of hardware costs and 3% of in-app payments. Economic breakdown: An average SaaS company (our potential customer) has revenue $15M/year (we expect to take like 5% of such a customer's revenue) and there are 17K SaaS companies in the US only.
