A bit disheveled and not too well…..hope he’s ok. Suspect this is all getting to him now and after watching that I’m not surprised. System looked a bit “amateur” and certainly not bleeding edge or leading edge…..basic at best. That kind of rules out this being or proprietary with significant IP value in it. Can’t see this pushing the SP up much although suspect a push to .27p is possible if Negma are out ….but that’s still guess work.
First IM I accept will bring a sentiment jump in the SP to in the .3p -.4p range and after that I think it’s toast for a long time until profitability is delivered and all of us will be 6 feet under pushing up the Dailey’s by then. All IMO DYOR
Basic, meaning simple, easy to use.
Does it need to be anything other than that?
It's a platform for uploading inventory and tracking the process. Not a social networking app.
BrassGemini - you are obviously not a technologist to be saying what you said. You want the dashboard to be easy to understand, easy to learn and easy to use (I speak as a software engineer). All the clever stuff is done in the backend which is unseen by the user (as it should be).
You obviously know nothing about software then BrassMonkey.
It was clean and easy on the eye with a multitude of complex functionality under the hood.
Stick to DOS mate.

It's the tech behind what you saw that is leading edge (blockchain, IoT etc). They also showed what the customer sees which is supposed to be user friendly.
The DD is the difficult/complex bit but once that's done the rest becomes almost a formality like putting in a request for payment of funds (but getting there was difficult - like applying for a mortgage you go through a ton of paperwork before getting the actual funds).
Furthermore their whole business model is workable and independently confirmed by a key (as AZ said 'important') player - that's the most important thing.
Guess we should ask brass about REST and API's and how all these systems manage to connect together in the background.
That is where the clever stuff is not what you see on the screen. A user just wants simple and that interface was exactly that.
I know nothing about IT……pahahahaha. I have one question….what is it that Syme has that is of value? Clearly not the technology, so what is it ?… is it the idea ….is it the management, is it the customer base ….what is it. What is stopping a true technology company just copying “the idea” if it was ever proven on 5 minutes flat and undercutting Syme and wiping them out?
I'm going to step in here as I set up a platform for the EU referendum with some developers on the side to my normal work and in addition took HTML and Java courses and working with the developers and what I learnt independently I can without doubt say you have no idea what you are talking about BG. The whole mantra for developers is slick and simple on the interface - the rest (and there is a sh*it load) makes it slick and and look simple. It look very proficient and if they have the clients, funders and mechanisms in place then the scale is only as big as the imagination.
Rocky…oh well as long as you’ve taken a JAVA course I’ll bow out PMSL
COMEDY GOLD
OMG Fat Monkey really is displaying his utter stupidly tonight..
Truly clueless.
PMSL
Brass....They will be the first mover you muppet. Do you not understand this business concept?
I dont know why you are reply to him. Ive filtered him. The trolls have multi IDs its only 1 or 2 people.
That's not my point at all, what we did was relatively simple but by getting an understanding of coding (basic tho it was) you get an appreciation of what actually goes into making these things work and there will be some IP in there that will make the platform work and unique to SYME. Your comments are quite silly and naive.
You cant reason with a troll. You say black they will say white.
I have been involved in technology for 30 something years, that was slick and if you can understand , then they are doing the job! Make it too complicated , people lose interest
Bingo lovefriday - this is one of the first rules taught to me by the developers. It has to be simple enough to understand in about 30 seconds (give or take depending on the application) otherwise people get bored and move on. It's an attention span thing. Since this is not social media I would suggest that time would be different here but the overall concept is the same.
Brass’s methodology for successful software: let’s make it as complex as possible for the end user!
Genius! You’ve missed your calling buddy.
Crass and castle get a room, possibly tempt dozynaz with a cheap bottle of plonk. All three of you have a lot in common. 1, lonely. 2 isolated. 3 Angry, to name a few. The three of you could meet at a premier inn.
HTML hahahah the 90's just called.
Stop now ur killing me. Go turn the LAMP on mate there's a good fellow.
HTML is where it all started and if you dont get an understanding of that you dont get an appreciation of the techniques that come next. A lot of coding still takes its roots from HTML in one form or another.
Erm no it does not. I will bet you whatever you want that no HTML is anywhere in SYME's application.
Brass
Go and buy yourself a book. May i suggest 'Business for Dummies'
Again a bit silly and naive...or just not getting the point. HTML was the first mainstream format for web development (there are other iterations around this time that are in there as well but HTML became the most complete set of rules). HTML format rules morphed into many of the subsequent texts and layouts that form page design and function that are used in the design of what is essentially the user interface. The complexities have gone leaps and bounds still but there is a very good chance the page you see is created using a format derived from HTML.
Doc et el don’t you understand the investment WORLD are laughing at you all…you’re up to your necks in paper losses on this stock…desperately hoping they can be turned around by a dream that’s not going to happen mate. First mover is not valid here….if this shows any signs of success it will be wiped out or bought out in a heart beat……you guys have no clue in tech and no clue on business. It’s genuinely quite sad. You sit here talking like you’re so smart to be into this stock when you’re all massive losers financially ….how can that be seen as a group of smart people COMEDY GOLD
There is beauty in simplicity.
Under the hood/ the backend is where the state of the art technology lies.
Not sure how you can negatively spin the presentation but you've given it a pretty poor attempt.
