Yes, that is how it is. Paid model does not work for masses - maybe iOS is exception to some extent...
I fully understand those who are fed up with annoying ads - just like me, too. But it does not imply ads are evil as such. Just they have to be placed carefully and accordingly... Anyway, I just wanted to invite other developers for helping me finishing this 'sdk'... Zoltán Andrew Penkrat írta ekkor: 2016.05.30. 23:46 I want to add my experience from the developer's point of view. I have an Android app with about 1000 installations (and 100 active users). This app has ads as well as an option to disable them for a $2 donation. Nobody ever activated this option. So most probably I won't be able to get any revenue from the app without ads. 2016-05-30 23:22 GMT+03:00 Martin Kolman <martin.kol...@gmail.com>: Mon, 30 May 2016 19:32:54 +0000 Alexey Andreyev: Hello, Zoltán! :) Feel free to criticize me, but... ads in our jolla? No, thanks! :) I subscribe to this - while I understand developers are looking for revenue streams I really like how current native Sailfish OS apps are pretty much add free (for one reason or another). Just take a look how reckless add usage ruins application usability on Android. I'm fine with donations, paid/premium versions, etc. but please no adds! :) I guess if you are a developer it make sence to ask for donations / create non-free apps, but please, no ads at all. (Espesially with additional web engine module loaded eating my resources) Again, this is just my opinion. I understand it opens new possibilities for some projects, etc, etc. пн, 30 мая 2016 г. в 21:48, Zoltán Lutor <zoltan.lu...@gmail.com>: I've progressed with implementing an open source wrapper for Vserv RESTful advertisement API in QML. Quote from API description: Vserv provides a simple HTTP based API to publishers/developers and other ad networks, etc. to fetch ads for mobile sites or mobile applications. The mobile device / server makes a HTTP request to Vserv Marketplace server with the required parameters and in response receives the ad in JSON format. This single API integration gives you the flexibility to fetch banner/ full screen / rich media ads. Available implementation is in pre-beta phase - quite majority of functionality works but there is still room for improvement. Since I'm not so experienced in this area of sw development - and especially newbie in Sailfish native development - I would like to ask some help from the community in finishing it. It would be a general purpose QML wrapper around the API with necessary tailoring is needed for Sailfish - e.g. Webkit vs. WebView, etc. Maybe separate git branches are needed for different implementation(?) - I'm open for any reasonable proposal. Is there anybody willing to join? Reviewing, commenting - and of course, coding is more than welcome. [This is my first open source project, so comment from this aspect is welcome, too.] API descrption is here, code repository is in BitBucket Br, Zoltan _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list To unsubscribe, please send a mail to devel-unsubscr...@lists.sailfishos.org _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list To unsubscribe, please send a mail to devel-unsubscr...@lists.sailfishos.org _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list To unsubscribe, please send a mail to devel-unsubscr...@lists.sailfishos.org
