Coopereesta is an Android/iOS app which takes as input source code written in Cooperscript and Coopertags (programming and text markup languages, respectively), for each Cooperscript app. Developers write the Cooperscript apps, and earn money from end-users. The end-users run the Coopereesta main app and select the desired Cooperscript app, defaults to most recently used app. So the Coopereesta mobile app is capable of running multiple Cooperscript apps. The Cooperscript Web Converter enables Cooperscript to be used as a web programming language.
Business Model
The business model is freemium and ad-supported. Premium users pay $20/year and can run any Cooperscript app in normal mode. Other users pay no fees and can only run Cooperscript apps in muted mode, which is aesthetically inferior to normal mode, and includes ads. Each developer of Cooperscript apps receives 2 equal shares, A and B, of Coopereesta net revenue (developer fees) in proportion to the number of user clicks generated by the normal mode users for Share A and by the muted mode users for Share B.
Net revenue equals gross revenue minus expenses such as web hosting fees, marketing expenses, and employee wages. The founder receives 5 to 10 percent of net revenue instead of being paid a salary. In the first year after Coopereesta launches, premium users get their first 6 months free, and developer fees are subsidized by Coopereesta to the tune of $10/premium-user/year.
Muted Mode
All pixels consisting of shades of gray, including black and white, are unchanged. All other pixel colors are partially grayed out by drawing a line from the center of the RGB color cube to the pixel color to be modified. The midpoint of this line segment, or perhaps somewhere closer to the center of the RGB color cube, is used as the actual color to be displayed. Image files are unmodified and read-only, in both normal and muted modes, also reading the mouse coordinates when the mouse cursor is on top of an image always returns the center of the image. An additional restriction in muted mode is a limit imposed on the number of different Cooperscript apps the user is able to access in a given month: 3 in odd numbered months and 2 in even numbered months.
Paid Apps
Some Cooperscript apps enable in-app purchases, one-time fees or subscription fees payable by the user, which are only available to premium users. After paying an approximate 30 or 15 percent commission to Google or Apple, these funds are paid to the developer of the Cooperscript app. Paid apps and other normal mode apps may or may not offer limited functionality available to users who are stuck in muted mode. All apps sporting muted mode functionality offer normal mode to premium users.
Penalty for High Bandwidth Apps
Developers of Cooperscript apps which exceed the bandwidth quota per 1000 user clicks are penalized. For every 1000 user clicks, take the ratio between bandwidth used and the quota. If it's equal to 1, no penalty. If it's equal to 5, halve the revenue of that developer. If it's equal to 25, halve the revenue twice, and so on. Use a logarithmic formula to calculate the actual revenue if the ratio is not an exact power of 5.
Web Converter
The Web Converter converts Cooperscript and Coopertags code into Javascript and HTML, respectively. This conversion utility enables Cooperscript to be used as a client and server-side web programming language.
Picoodo
Picoodo is a sample Cooperscript app: a tool used for organizing image collections. Each image has an optional name consisting of one or more name parts, and zero or more features. Each feature has one or more mutually exclusive categories.
