App Ideas To Be Implemented For IC Pack Package Manager

Here are some ideas of apps that you can create for our platform (the list is very incomplete and should be prolonged):

• Blog.
• Notion clone.
• Video editor.
• Personal bookkeeping.
• Corporate bookkeeping.

To simplify your rewriting your existing software done for another platform, we support the following commonly met programming languages for Internet Computer Project:

• Rust (A bit of advice: because we hold all data in VM memory, not on disk files or an external database, memory corruption would be especially bad, so I recommend to never use unsafe Rust feature. To create circular data structures Better use Rc or Arc reference counting pointers than to resort to unsafe.)
• TypeScript or JavaScript (Azle);
• Python (Kybra);
• C++ (icpp-pro).

And of course, you can use our mainstream language Motoko. Don’t afraid of a new language Motoko is a easy as Python to learn, meanwhile having features of a strict type system, helping you to eliminate stupid errors due to messed types and increasing code execution speed (and reducing costs).

So, if you write a new software for Internet Computer (including software for our project IC Pack), choose either Motoko or Rust. If you decide to translate existing software, Rust, TypeScript, javaScript, Python, or C++ may be good choices.

Another strong point of ICP based development is that you don’t need a DevOps, because deployment is streamlined with simple to use tools as simply managing a few virtual machines that can all be updated by a single command.
