Younicycle, the SaaS Platform
Software by Younicycle
What is Younicycle, the SaaS Platform?
The majority of online (SaaS) applications are vertical - and limited to a specific objective. Younicycle is instead, a broad, horizontal platform that allow you to create your own vision; your own SaaS. Design tables, views, triggers, functions, write queries, write php (Actions), create charts, websites, design personalized pdfs, QRCode add JS with the internal JQuery, create CSS and apply to your pages, publish to the web - or simply retain for your own Team's use.
Custom built WYSIWYG Editors are available for non-coders, while professional editors are built in for the Pros. Teams can work together and 'make their own rules' as YOU decide on Roles and Privileges with the built in Access Control List. Younicycle is much more than an SaaS. It is an SaaS that builds SaaS. Eight years in development - and getting better every day. Free testing
Pricing: Available as an SaaS at Younicycle (subscription) with a variety of subscription options.
Available for your own server (Linux). Perpetual license for $400 - with NO LIMIT on NUMBER of USERS.

Overview
Tables, queries, functions, wysiwyg editors, pdfs, reports,css, js, images, websites, etc., are only brush strokes on a very large canvas. The end goal is to get work done & deliver decision-level Knowledge. Younicycle provides the Tools to Inform, Educate and convert data -> information -> decision-level Knowledge as required - for the Web, intranet, or print.
Younicycle is presented as Software as a Service (SaaS). Younicycle also has a Younicycle Server Package (YSP) for your own server (One account, unlimited users) and Younicycle Enterprise Package which includes PDF creation capabilities. An extended version of the Enterprise Package is what we have used to develop & serve Younicycle and many other sites.
We are Different: Younicycle provides a solid foundation and powerful tools that can be used to create online software or software for your local, internal operations. Instead of providing you with a Targeted (Vertical) Application, we provide all of the Tools to create your own targeted applications. You will then be able to sell those applications at the Younicycle Solutions Shop or simply retain for your own purposes. Much of the Framework is GPL - and the rest, at a pittance. Greater productivity + a low cost structure yields time and monetary savings for everyone, not just the 'Fortunate 500'.
Collaborate: Younicycle is Advanced Server software that allows more than one person to Work inside of each account, each according to his or her skills. The Admin (probably you) will be able to control what each Team member can - or cannot do. This is accomplished by the use of Roles & the Access Control List (ACL) which is an additional built-in feature of Younicycle.
Intuitive Tools: We work very hard to make your Tools as intuitive as possible. Many of the Tools are WYSIWYG while others are user friendly and logical. An example of one WYSIWYG Tool can be found here (no registration of any type required).
Younicycle dot com uses Younicycle. All of the external pages for Younicycle dot com were made using Younicycle's tools. In addition, Younicycle hosts Younicycle dot com and many other websites.
Younicyle Server Package can be White labeled And it won't cost you a single penny more.
In short, Younicycle is deep, broad, powerful & affordable. You have immediate access to advanced functionality that is typically available only for professional developers. This means you will have plenty of room to grow and learn at your own pace.
Benefits
All of us have individual strengths & weaknesses.
A few, very talented Application Developers can draw, design, write SQL, create forms, make layouts, write javascript, intricate CSS, write Php, design solid & user friendly GUI's, admin a server and write clear, understandable text. This person is a 'Have'.
The writer of this page is a Content Developer - and not a member of the select, Application Developer group. I need help sometimes and when I do, I find someone that already is an Expert. If I watch that person closely, either:
- Next time, I'll be able to do it myself .. or ....- No way I'll ever get it. I'll always need help.
I can't draw and it won't help if I practice 12 hours a day for a month. A five year old's remark: "That's ugly! You did that on purpose!" Nope. Raw talent. For this skill, I'm a 'Have not'.
Younicycle has room for both types of people. The skilled developer that can perform all tasks, but also the person that is proficient at one task.
Younicycle narrows the Knowledge Divide & makes complex issues simple, allowing more people to expand their capabilities without experts' assistance. But let's be honest. Most of us have at least one weakness. Collaborate with an expert and as you do, learn.
We included Visual GUIs to help Simplify complex code.We included powerful Scripting Editors for the Experts.
If you need food for the Brain, Welcome to the Banquet.
What is Younicycle's Market?Younicycle's intended audience is:- the small business that struggles to pay for many licenses for many applications from many vendors.- the 'older' worker, displaced by rapid Tech changes.- the 'younger' worker seeking new skills.- Teams that need to work efficiently.- Individuals that want to learn, grow, be productive.- Content, Application & Web Developers that need to be 'on the same page'.
Spend less, do more.
Want to roll your own comprehensive package?Like the idea -- but not on the web?Younicycle also offers a Server Package. You can install on your own hardware and do your thing. White label & create your own Vision.The base Younicycle installation is an integrated Suite of Applications & Tools. You will be able to use as is - or develop your own Solutions on the Younicycle foundation. Online - or on your own server.
