Ergonomix
Oct 31st (Khitchdee Design, first annual launch)
Ergonomix is a 3-app package for developing native PC apps, that also serves as a template that suggests a design pattern for native PC app development.
Ergonomix includes libraries that implement the InterUnit-UI API and extensible source code for a source-code navigator, a website (.html, .js, .css) editor and an email client (based on libcurl).
Ergonomics uses Khitchdee Design's proprietary UI technology (code-named InterUnit-UI) that greatly simplifies the PC-UI and makes it ergonomically efficient.
Since a native app uses its platform's designed app-implementation framework, it has direct access to hardware capabilities and is fast, responsive and runs at high frame-rates.
Ergonomix provides a C++ interface for app development (currently on Windows, MacOS and Linux), via a platform-specific wxWidgets library and a corresponding InterUnit-UI API implementation library. Developers can start using it to develop apps on October 31st.
Planned future releases will support iOS and Android
Package Contents
- A source-navigator (InterUnit*) that is used in conjunction with a compiler/debugger (such as Apple-XCode/Microsoft-VisualStudio/GNU-gcc).
- A marketing-editor (InterUnit) that is used in conjunction with a browser.
- An Emailer (InterUnit) that is used in conjunction with LinkedIn.
- Platform specific versions of the InterUnit-UI API implementation library.
Pricing
Ergonomix will be sold as a monthly license at $50/month. As a reference, the VisualStudio Professional IDE is priced at $99.99/month for year 1 and $66.59/month for subsequent years.
The InterUnit-UI API library can also be licensed separately from Khitchdee Design, at a negotaited usage-based price.
