Comments for Simple Accounting Package

As a Google fan I do everything through Google. Email, spreadsheeds and documents. Soon they will have powerpoint stuff but I think anyone who would develop a good generic accounting package for small businesses based on Ajax and web-browsers will be onto a winner.

Hey dinther – yeah, I agree: an Ajaxy web app might well be the way to go. Despite the fact that web apps should be more clunky than desktop apps, these days desktop apps are the ones lagging behind in terms of UI.

I was thinking about developing something like this a few weeks ago, but put it off (didn’t know any users for feedback(. So I guess this my chance.

I’ll make it an Ajax web app, since that seems what people want. I will use a minimalist and modular design, and keep to the focus of the application.

If I do become the developer, I’ll post the design documents right away.

You would probably want a justification on my long proposed development time.

I will probably get the basics of this project done in a time much less quicker than 15 months. But I think this project has a lot of scope, so I have given myself extra time so I can perfect it. I have also added 3 extra months, since I don’t know how busy I will be during this year.

I removed my quote because the project I was creating as a warm-up is actually becoming worthwhile and I want to continue work on it.
