Revision history [back]

Dear all,

i would like to rise one topic again:

everybody is complaining about too few native apps, but i fear nobody is willed to pay for the same or better only few are. there are like 38 000 users here. if 10 000 were active user and everybody would spend 20 bucks a year, we do talk about 200 000 Euros. Share accrossed the 40 most active devs would be like 5000 Euros a year each. That would rise the motivation to maintain and develop new stuff.

here are two threads on potential candidates:

https://together.jolla.com/question/200148/native-apps-i-love/

https://together.jolla.com/question/142604/what-app-would-you-pay-10euro-for/

just to share my experience: i have 2 selfwritten apps and i am maintaining one. to build my first app took me at least 40hrs, to maintain it over the year another 40-50 hrs. only the refactoring of the backend of my second app plus testcases took me 10 days every night, so again like 20-30 hrs. for the second app i have receied 3 feature request and i was offered one coffee. in fact i did never received anything :)

again, it is not about me, it is about worth of software. a cleaning lady costs 12 euro's (black money) per hour in my country, minimum. so are you willed to pay for something that took weeks to build like pure maps, ownkeepass, depecher and telegra.me ?

1 or 2 euro a year ?

have a merry christmas !
