What's the business model?

Crocus Modeller is sold as a desktop app ($39 for single developer, $89 for license transferable inside company). We're also going to sell it as a web app in SaaS model.

Why did you do it?

Filip: The idea was born a few years ago, while doing some flash game development. I tried to sketch basic architecture of my games and started looking for some UML modeling software. Unfortunately there were no satisfying solutions, all UML tools were too huge and not very convenient. Later I heard of one guy creating some UML software for ActionScript, which should be enough for my needs - but it was never publicly released. That's why we decided to make something small and perfectly fitted to AS3 devs needs.

Who are you?

Crocus Team consists of two friends dreaming of... just doing something good.
