Specialized Desktop application for managing Adult Sites

Hello Guys,

thank you in advance for taking the time to read this.
So I'm working on some proof of concept desktop application (Windows-based) that will try to address the following problems for webmasters and alike:

- Most CMS today requires that you upload everything to your server, while pretty much of the things that the CMS will do doesn't need to be online or in your server (thumbnail generation, watermarking videos, generating the optimized css/js etc)
- web browsers nowadays is consuming too much of memory and the experience is sluggish for day-to-day workflow
- web-based admin UI requires that you have 24/7 internet connection in order to perform even the most basic mundane tasks (adding captions to videos, viewing historical reports etc)
- analyzing stats from NATS Reporting admin, comparing stats by campaign, ratio and any other aspect is generally a bit tough to do in browser (many open tabs to switch on, memory hogging)
- it is sometimes hard to have a centralized way to view all your domains,paysites,tours (specially if you have hundreds of wordpress blogs)

how my desktop application will try to solve those problems:

- Increase productivity and speed by using a native Windows application built on top of .NET (no more memory-hungry browser application like chrome/firefox). Buttons, textboxes and other UI components of a native application is way faster than their HTML counterpart
- Decrease surface attack by only exposing the NATS API to a single desktop application vs being your nats admin open to all public IP, same principle with WordPress API
- Reduce load in your production server, the app stores the data it retrieved in a local MySQL Server instance in your computer (or local area network), so it doesn't necessarily have to call the API for every request
- Works even w/o Internet - once the data is cached in your local computer, the app will re-use that data as much as possible. It will only connect to API once it needs to refresh the local copy.
- it comes with a small inventory system of your digital assets, such as tours, paysites and contents you own
- small "Project management feature", that allows you to prepare your content locally (e.g transcode, generate thumbnail, add text) and only upload things that is meant to be on internet, allowing you and your team to collaborate much faster


benefits:

- lower server cost: since you are offloading much of the work from your VPS server to your local machine.
- lower bandwidth cost: since you will be only shipping "processed goods" to the internet vs uploading your raw files online
- faster workflow and low memory footprint
- increase productivity and security (assuming your local area network is secure)


questions:

- are those valid problems to solve? or maybe im trying to solve problems that doesn't exists
- are there any problem that webmasters are facing that I could possibly integrate with my desktop app?
- given the feature set above, are you willing to pay for such product if lets say it was made available for purchase?


Looking forward on hearing your feedback about this!

I would be so hyped to see this post in 2004, but not so much, 15 years later.

I am sorry but I am afraid your solution is not what we need

For starters, with a stupid idea. I am very sorry that you are wasting your time.

And much noting more is worth wasting time on this post:

Man, what did you get off of? Today we have 4K video editors from the level of the browser - you understand? the browser! available for tablet and phone!
Video editor where you can add visual effects, 3d and other shit - working in the cloud from the level of the browser - and you write some shit on the windows?

It is also very risky to use a software like you describe.

Let's say a customer builds its workflow around your desktop software.

Then your business fails after 2 years. (Let's be honest, most do.) Or you get bored and move on. Or God forbid you get hit by a car. That customer will be totally fucked then. It's just not worth the risk to use a software like this.

I personally can't think of anything that's really needed and can be done by tiny team. But maybe someone will be able to suggest something. :-)

If you really want to make money in adult, I'd go with custom development/admin gigs. Then you might get an idea for something the companies really need and you could sell to many.

There are no issues nowadays with offline work for websites (look into progressive web apps).
Also as others mentioned you probably want to access your system from multiple devices so I think it makes more sense to move this project to the web.
