Already there are rumblings for web clients and even interoperability with cell phones and PDA’s. If the CCL project takes off as we anticipate that it will, and the demand for the CCL on other platforms continues to increase, we may very well develop a multi-platform version. Also, choosing this development platform gives us access to a larger pool of developer talent than had we gone with Java or C/C++ as a development language.

If we are doing desktop software, how can we rapidly develop a quality product which will work on as many different configurations as possible? The answer for us was the Microsoft. Ultimately it comes down to tools and resources. The big question why Windows only? There are several factors to consider when working on a project as large and ambitious as this. The simple answer is “User Experience.” We had in our minds the type of experience we wanted to create, and desktop software seemed to be the solution that fit the best. I’m often asked why the CCL software wasn’t built as a web app. I’d like to point out that the Live Market will be web based as well as accessible via the software so anyone will be able to use it to buy comics. The enhancements to the website will make clear to people the nature of the software as well as requirements to use the software. Also, we will continue to make strides in the process for submitting data to the community database, including the ability for users to submit feedback on pending changes. A key component of this new website will be the Online Comics Database, the same one the CCL app uses. This new site will allow the community to better interact by providing more of our services online. Currently we have a complete overhaul of the website in progress. We are continuing to expand our community each day. Also, we invited the community to participate in the open beta of the software. We also wanted community participation early on, which is why we quickly deployed a website and forums long before the beta was even an alpha.

To connect buyers with sellers in a way that was conducive to the hobby In addition we wanted to build a hub of activity for comic book enthusiasts.

To build a community comic book database.

To provide the community with a top tier piece of software that was free.

The Comic Collector Live project has 3 major goals: I want to take a moment to address the growing volume of questions and comments from comic fans that use Apple computers and want to participate in Comic Collector Live.
