Revolves

We don’t want Paint, we want Photoshop. Or the next-generation 3D Modelling tool. Or the next-generation world class photorealistic renderer.

Whatever we have, we want to add one more bit of complexity to it.

John is a professional who often has to resize lots of images. Each time, he fires up Photoshop or GIMP (he likes open source), and does the resizing. The Paint that comes with his OS doesn’t allow the flexibility he demands.

Good.

What if there existed an application that did just one thing, resize images? What would John prefer? Firing up GIMP or Photoshop (and endlessly waiting for them to load), or use an application that understands John’s need, and does that one thing – image resizing – extremely well?

Of course, the second little application. Even though a lot of big applications support most of the features you’ll ever need, but sometimes, small focused applications do the job better.

People are creating such small apps all around the globe. They find that a few people in the forum want a certain piece of software that will do what they want. And they create small apps that does exactly that, nothing less, nothing more. Simple. Elegant.

Moreover, these guys are praised by everyone, since they provide such quick and easy-to-use solutions.

I touched this topic in my other post, Less is More.

So, how are you changing the world for the better?
