There is an inherent conflict with that kind of business model. If your product were simple enough, that would reduce your opportunities for consulting.

So to rope in consulting offers, you'd be inclined to add complexity and config options to generate more avenues for consulting.

Even if someone assembles a product like you ask, how will they monetize it?

I'm assuming you want the product to be built with open source components, so then the startup would be selling a glue script to package these open components together.

The only feasible way to make money with this would be to sell a proprietary glue script. Not sure how acceptable that would be to you or to potential customer base of this startup.

This won't work for consumer facing desktop apps though.
Re:Ask HN: Implement a webservice GUI with Qt? on Friday March 23, 2018 @01:54AM (#16655451)
okay so another question, so in theory I could keep a common backend code and experiment with Qt frontend code even as I simultaneously build with electron as well?

Ask HN: Implement a webservice GUI with Qt?

from the ask-hn dept.

I have a webservice for which I want to build a GUI. I was initially considering doing it in electron but am now wondering if I could simply use Qt to build my GUI?Qt would be making REST api calls to the backend service(which could be running locally or remote) to populate the UI.
