Ask HN: Is there a market for a multi-computer remote control app?
He is not interested in this anymore, but I'm thinking about rebuilding everything from scratch (the old one was built with Delphi and PHP - yes, don't laugh, a TCP socket server in PHP CLI). The only problem is, I'm not sure there is a market for a software like this, since now everyone is into TeamViewer and other 1-to-1 screen-sharing remote control tools. Who would use this app? Maybe schools for managing their computers in classrooms/computer labs?
Another question is, if I decide to create it and make it paid, which model will be the best?
- Selling the app server and the customers will have to install it on their own machine/VPS
- Running the app servers myself and selling it as a SaaS
- Both
The client software for the slave machines would be available for free of course.
