CODE-Installer + SquareTech

SSU’s CODE-Installer - a custom software installation technology that we created to automatically install most of the cool tech (ie. SquareTech) and software/code-based solutions we create that are powered by Square’s API and work with Square’s various POS versions and equipment.

It usually takes just 10-30 seconds for a single instance of our code/tech to automatically install. See the How It Works page to learn more.

Who We Are

We’re a Chicago-based Technology Solutions company - that specializes in creating high quality Native Mobile Apps, Responsive Websites, Web Apps, Software, APIs, Frameworks, SDKs (software development kits for apps), etc. We’ve been creating solutions for 20+ years and in that time we’ve amassed a heck of a lot of technology, expertise, best practices, etc.

Our current digital IP Portfolio is worth about $5M+. IP = Intellectual Property. That means all the stuff we make that’s unique that can be used to create mobile apps, websites, etc. How do we know it’s worth $5M+? Good question. Here’s that answer »

Yes, we’ve tried the VC-route and it wasted more valuable time than it helped. And, since we’re typically 2-5 years ahead of everybody, which has secured us some very big partnerships, we figured it was about time we tried a different approach.

Made for Entrepreneurs by Entrepreneurs

Most of the popular technology platforms these days were made specifically with Developers in mind and don’t even come with front-ends or UI/UX, thus making it extremely difficult to imagine or even envision what the end-product would even look like.

Crowd Kode, however, focuses on creating tech that’s ready to go out-of-the-box - with a high emphasis on front-end and UI/UX, in addition to the underlying code and architecture.

ThinΛpp is built on a simplified MVC framework in PHP with a responsive, 12-grid HTML Bootstrap for the front-end - and MySQL for the back-end database. Note: There are of course also some HTML5, Javascript and Ajax elements too. This makes it the most fluid combination of languages and architecture imaginable.

Our specially trained ThinΛpp Development Team can take care of any customizations for just $25/hr or any average website developer should be able to spend just a few minutes with the code and be able to jump right in.

What We Do?

ThinΛpp specializes in "wrapping", copying and integrating existing websites (or content) seamlessly with real, hand-crafted, native mobile apps - and creating completely custom, hand-crafted, fully native mobile apps (as well). We’ve pre-built and pre-engineered some of the most common features, so that we can get your custom App submitted to the App Stores within a matter of hours.

Our approach, focus and apps are simple, elegant and sleek - and no other service on earth can compare to our design, process - and value. Simply put...we're changing the way mobile apps are made.

Our Technology

Overall, we try to do things smarter, more efficient and more streamlined than traditional App Development companies. Here are some examples:

• We create/build fully custom native mobile apps
• We pre-build common and popular features in our AppWraprs
• We created our own platform (BΛSE) with $70k+ in features
• We’ve streamlined both App Store Submissions processes
• We have a stream-lined assembly line approach
• and much, much more.

What is ThinΛpp BΛSE?

ThinΛpp BΛSE is a pre-built Hybrid App platform that makes it easy and affordable to create a custom mobile App - for any business, passion, interest, website or idea.

What is a Hybrid App?

A Hybrid App (also referred to as an HTML5 App, Progressive Web App, Web App and Browser-based App) is one that is both web based (ie. a Web App built in the same coding languages that are used to create highly responsive and mobile-friendly websites) and “native” based (ie. built in coding languages like Apple’s X-Code/Swift or Google’s Android Studio, which were designed to exclusively build mobile applications for those respective devices).

A Web App (which makes up most of a Hybrid App) is an app that looks and feels just like any “Mobile” App that you would download from the App Stores, except you don’t actually get/download them from the App Stores - instead you can add them (or rather their App Icon) to your device’s home screen - and then access it via its App Icon to use the App version.

ThinΛpp BΛSE is 85% Web App + 15% Native App = Hybrid App

BΛSE is coded/built with the most popular web based languages and latest internet standards. This makes it more flexible, more affordable, faster to develop and more accessible than traditional “native” based Apps while still having the same look, feel and functionality of a Native App. And, yes, Apps made with BΛSE can also be downloaded from the App Store and Google Play (with the help of our ThinΛpp AppWrapr).

Mobile Websites vs Web Apps

As you can see above, the most noticeable difference (at first glance) between a typical Mobile Website and a Web App is that Web Apps are fullscreen (just like Native Apps). Note: You don’t have to download Web Apps - you “install” them (see the section on App Icons below for more on that).

As of May 18, 2016 - Google recently announced the launch of Instant Apps for Android, which will also be Apps you don’t have to download. Business Insider Article »

What makes ThinΛpp BΛSE so unique is that while the giants like Apple and Google battle for App dominance, we’ve made a product that is not platform/device specific - and works on everything - and is way more affordable, easy to make - and easier to understand. Google’s announcement simply proves that there is an increasing interest in creating Apps that do not need to be downloaded. However, ThinΛpp does have an App Wrapper version, which allows it to be downloaded from the App Store and Google Play.

App Icons

The next thing we wanted to tackle was making it easy to access a Web App.

Most people don’t even know Web Apps have their own App Icons, just like Native Apps. In fact, once it’s on your phone’s homescreen there’s no way to even tell the difference.

Closing Summary

So we can go on and on - and there is a LOT more, but it would probably be better if you just test the live demo (close this window and the button is under the phone slider).

And, to summarize - We drew from 20 years of making websites (including some of the top, most innovative websites in the world), 50+ years of combined web development, internet/online, UI/UX design and internet marketing experience and a large amount of obsessive determination to create a custom coded, hand crafted product that is so complete it can be used out of the box or quickly adapted to practically any idea - thus making ThinΛpp BΛSE the most powerful, flexible website (and App) platform in the world.

Here are just some of the other features we took the liberty of pre-building into BΛSE:

• Swipe / Touch capabilities
• Real-time GPS Tracking
• Full Screen “App” Mode
• +App Icon Prompting
• Web Services API

• SMS Text Messages API
• Robust Member Profiles
• Authorize.net Payments
• PayPal Payments Integration
• E-Commerce Store
• and much, much more.

Note: We opted not to tackle accelerometer, gyroscope, motion graphics, etc (ie. things commonly used in exercise and gaming Apps) as those don't make up the bulk of the Apps that are actually out there. However, with our new AppWrapr line all of those native features have or are currently being built in also!

Request An Invite or Talk To Someone

Close this screen and scroll to the bottom of the Overview page to enter your email to receive an invite to test our live App Wrapper out, which is also how we’ll let you test your Native App(s) out before they are submitted and deployed (ie. made live).
Note: Screenshots will be posted here shortly and we should have a couple of live Apps in the various App Stores within the next few weeks.

So when you become a ThinΛpp Owner - you're getting a $50,000+ App/Website for about $499 + how much ever you decide to add/spend in exclusive customizations. There’s currently no value like this in the world.
Note: The $499 is essentially our "license" fee for doing all this work upfront and ahead of time - and it helps us continue to improve the ThinΛpp Platform, as well as support it. We think it's a very small fee to ask. We're basically taking all the guess work out of the entire process and giving people what they need vs what they can afford to pay for.

ThinΛpp Products

ThinΛpp is comprised of several different powerful technology solutions, which you can purchase seperately or as a combined solution.

1. ThinΛpp Platform - The Web App is our flagship solution/product (and is also a fully responsive website).

2. ThinΛpp Native Wrapper - This is a Native App (coded in the original App programming languages) that allows us to “wrap” any website or the ThinΛpp Platform and make it available for download from the App Stores.*

3. ThinΛpp Offline Platform - We’ve figured out how to make Web Apps and Native Apps that function completely offline (ie. without an internet connection).

4. ThinΛpp Hybrid App - this is (1 + 2 above) or (1 + 2 + 3 above) combined. 1 + 2 is our most popular solution/product.

Note: Close this window and enter your email at the bottom of the page to receive an invite to access and install the Native App Wrapper on your phone for live testing (note: within a couple of weeks we’ll have a live demo App in the App Stores for testing also).

ThinΛpp Turn-Around Time

Typically Apple takes about 5 business days to review and approve each submitted App, however this is assuming you did everything 100% correct. They absolutely have the right to reject your App and will tell you why, at which time it becomes up to you (or us) to fix it and re-submit it. This process can drag our for literal weeks and even months if you don’t know what you’re doing.

We have it down to a science. We handle it all for you. We ask you some questions (that are currently being programmed into an easy online/mobile form) and we take care of the rest. And Apple knows who submits correct stuff - and they’ll typically reward those App Developers with quick review times and approvals.

So ready for proof? On Monday July 25th, 2016 we submitted an App for a client and the very next morning on Tuesday July 26 it was reviewed, approved and live on the App Store.

Below is a screenshot of the Process from Apple’s own iTunes Connect system, which is used to faciliate the entire App Submission process - notice the dates.
