Gramrite

 

Gramrite (click in brief for a summary) is a smartphone app and website showcasing software written in Java, Psybergram, and Psybertags. Psybergram is a new programming language and Psybertags is a new text markup language. Gramrite has a freemium business model: inner users pay $10/year, and outer users pay no fees. Outer users can browse the Gramrite.com website and the server of the Gramrite smartphone app (mini app store), but only inner users can upload code (paid apps), images, and other content.

Paid Apps

Psybergram smartphone apps which do not exceed the monthly bandwidth quota are hosted for free. Web hosting fees for apps which exceed the quota start at $5 per month. Apps which charge optional fees to users are only for inner users, for those users who elect to pay those fees. Paid apps without a free option are only for inner users. Google and Apple generally charge a commission of 30 percent for all payments between app authors and end-users, which drops to 15 percent after one year.

Self Hosting

Authors of apps have the option of hosting their own apps. They download the master app, which executes Psybergram code. In the case of Android, the master app is an APK file. App authors who opt for self hosting pay royalties of $5 per month per app to Gramrite, or $10 per month for paid apps. Once or twice a year, Gramrite connects to the app author's server and disables it in case the renewal fee remains unpaid.

Miscellaneous

Any code a given outer user writes only runs on their own computer and/or smartphone. Outer users cannot edit multi-line text edit boxes on the server having more than 255 characters. Psybergram programs run on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS devices. Clicking on PDF lets you print this website in its entirety. Boardalog is used for teaching math and computers.

Groupware

Gramrite offers a form of groupware for organizations. Organizations which serve consumer/survivors use the groupware for free (see Psyberhood). The Psyberhood material includes a detailed description of the groupware. Other organizations pay annual subscription fees of $2 per user for the first 50 users, and $0.50 per user for the 51st user and all subsequent users.
