[color=#006400]Notice![/color] Please check out the sketches and features overview here.

We accept donations here.



[color=#000000][font=Arial]Dear friends![/font][/color]



[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=4]We would like to inform you about our decision to start the development of the new Product designer application based on HTML5 and JavaScript.[/size][/font][/color]



[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=4]At this stage we would like to get the information how many of you will be interested in this application.[/size][/font][/color]



[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=4]The most vivid advantages will be as follows:[/size][/font][/color]



[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=4]- completely new interface[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=4]- work on the iOS and Android devices[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=4]- no Flash, only contemporary technologies of web applications development[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=4]- complete independence from CS-Cart, no-problem upgrade[/size][/font][/color]





[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=4]We will appreciate any feedback from those who are interested in the new Product designer. While we gather your feedback we will prepare the sketches and main functionality description. [/size][/font][/color]



[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=4]In case the number of interested is appropriate, we will go to the second stage of the project realization - we will start to gather donations for development in the amount of $300 to $400 depending on the number of interested users. [/size][/font][/color]



[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=4]As soon as we collect the necessary sum, we will be able to start the development. If we don’t gather the necessary sum, we will return the money to all the donators. After the development is complete we will present the Product designer license to all the donators. Actual license price will be definitely more than the donated sum.[/size][/font][/color]



[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=4]A preliminary release date - 4 months after the development beginning.[/size][/font][/color]



[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=4]We hope for your prompt feedback in this thread or send your feedback to pd AT alt-team DOT com.[/size][/font][/color]

Hello dustundag!



Thank you for your interest! I've sent you a pm with a request for your e-mail address. Please check it out. We will notify you about the project process via e-mail. Thanks again!



Best regards, Alt-team

Interested but only if you cease knocking off the addons we paid you to make for us then you turn around and sell them on your website, ex: review attributes, customer notes, helpdesk blah blah blah. Also only interesed if their no callbacks, no encryption because the current product designer hangs loading because your slow server won't respond on the callbacks. Also if your going to lock me out and disable addon after 1yr and force me to upgrade not interested either. CS's legendary track record of continually breaking addons and making customers pay again and again for addons is over the top, 1.3.5 to 2.x, 2.x to 3.x and now 3.x to 4.x. What happens if we pay you guys to make this addon then 5.x comes and out breaks everyone because history says it will break, then we gotta pay again? If you want happy customers then everyone who bought into the original version should be able to get the HTML5/JS version for no more then $50 upgrade. We bankrolled you guys the first time and you know it - Sno

Dear Snorocket!



Thank you for your interest but please let me explain the situation.[list]

[]Please, always remember that there is a difference between our ready-to-use add-ons and the custom modifications that we do from scratch. If you buy the ready-to-use add-on, you buy a licensed product and can't resell it on your website. But if you pay the full development cost for the custom modification, you can use it as you wish (sell, grant, etc.) and we guarantee 4 month of a free bug-fix period. We also have all rights on the mods that we develop and can sell them on our website. It is a normal practice, and it is all stated in our License agreement on the custom development service that you accept when you pay for a modification.

[/list][list]

[
]We guarantee one year of free upgrades for our ready-to-use add-ons but not for the custom modifications. Thus, if someone pays for a custom modification for CS-Cart 3 but CS-Cart suddenly issues the new CS-Cart 4, it's out of our control. If a client decides to upgrade his cart and to save the modification, he will have to pay for the modification upgrade. We can't do it for free because it wasn't a part of a technical description.

[/list]

Thus, I would like to highlight that the new Product designer will be a licensed product, it will be faster than the current Flash one. Also, it will be independent from CS-Cart or Magento, so the platform upgrade won't break the application.



Dear Snorocket, please notice, the donation cost that we have noted $300-$400 is the price that you pay for a ready-to-use licensed product. If you do the donation, after the development is completed you will get one Product designer license that you can offer to one of your clients for any price but only once. You won't be able to sell the code on your website because you don't pay the full development cost.



I hope the situation is clear now.



I would kindly ask everyone to stick to the topic. Thanks.



Best regards, Alt-team

I would rather buy it from alt-team. We need developers here, not dealers.

I'm also interested put me down.

Thanks

Alt-Team: Is it possible that your new addon will export vector artwork as a PDF?

Hello John!



Actually, not enough yet. We plan to create the “interested” list till the end of September. If the number of interested will be enough, we will show everyone the sketches of a new Product designer and the functionality description. After that, we will gather donations and start the development.



Dear CS-Cart users, if you know someone who can be interested in a new Product designer, please tell them about our project! We really like the idea of a new Product designer HTML5, JS based, and hope that with your help we will be able to start and complete the development as soon as possible!

@ alt team, your pm box is not allowing messsages

8 people at $300-$400 isn't enough to start? You guys are delirious if $3000+ is not enough to start. Those who helped fund the original product designer should get the new version at a significant discount, like $200. We only needed $150/ea to fund the orignal designer I seriously doubt programming expenses went up 250%. I'm only interested if the addon has no callbacks, I'm not interested in having a 3rd party control the functionality of my store and disable it at will. Also we have no gaurantees that we won't be done dirty again in 1-2yrs and forced into paying $400 again and again and again to have these addons compatible with the latest version. In addition 4.x hasn't proven itself yet and has been a complete shipwreck since 2.2.5. We will have to see where 4.02 goes…

Hello John,



do you mean pm at cs-cart forums? I've cleared the storage, probably the box was just full, now it's fine. We also answer all questions about the new Product designer at pd@alt-team.com.

Dear snorocket,



the new Product designer will be written from scratch and we plan to include lots of features in it. $3000 is enough to start but not to complete all work. Unfortunately, we can't work for free hoping on the future sales. We plan to collect the necessary investment and work on a new Product designer without and problems and delays. Every donator will get a working product integrated into CS-Cart or Magento.



Best regards, Alt-team

Definitely interested. If the product comes through as planned, sign me up for two licenses.
