Re: [Development] Qt Marketplace

[Simon Hausmann]

Hi,

Yeah it’s quite interesting:). We’re trying it with the combination market 
place, installer and Conan. So we don’t have quite all the answers yet but it’s 
actively being worked on.

This is not (yet?) related to Qt or Qt 6 itself though. Perhaps they’ll also 
connect in the future, but for now Qt remains built by Coin and distributed via 
the installer framework as binary and source.

That sounds interesting. Will the QtCompany use Conan as _the_ package
manager for the market place and Qt6? Is there more information available?

Thanks

Re: [Development] Qt Marketplace

Inside The Qt Company, we have identified three values of the marketplace to 
the developer.

1. To get products in one single location. Currently, most of the products are 
from inqlude.org
and KDE framework + from a couple of our vendors. There are new contributions 
from vendors
all the time, so the product base is growing. Hopefully, we have more our own 
products in the marketplace
soon.

However, I agree with you that this alone is not very valuable to the developer.

2. Contributions in the marketplace are validated by Qt. Right now, we test 
them rather randomly,
but the goal is to add them part of our automated testing as well.

3. Source builds. Our goal from the beginning was to have similar UX to Visual 
Studio Code to build
products from the sources. The development is in progress and the plan is to 
release  Marketplace 2.0 in May.

At the high level, the idea is the following:
- Developers browse Marketplace products in Qt Creator or directly in 
Marketplace. Selecting a product in Qt Creator launches the marketplace, where 
the product description is shown.
- Developer picks up one or more products. Marketplace handles the payments if 
any.
- The product is enabled in the Online Installer. Installer still has an 
important role in license management, even though it can be used in a headless 
way from any IDE in the future.
- Product repo contains a Conan recipe. Conan takes care of getting/building 
the dependencies.
- Product is added to an existing project. The product is built inside the 
project using one kit to avoid unnecessary builds for targets, not needed.

This is what we have planned to during the next five months.

What would be much more helpful is not *just* a list of libraries but

manager for Qt Marketplace? Or maybe adopt

[Development] Qt Marketplace launched

[Tino Pyssysalo]

Hello all Qt developers,

Today The Qt Company have launched Qt Marketplace at https://qt.io/marketplace. 
Qt Marketplace is an innovation platform for our community, bringing together 
Qt developers looking for new ways to enhance Qt and develop workflow.

We would like to invite you for populating the marketplace with all fantastic 
extensions, add-ons, modules … that has been done with Qt. We have wanted to 
make it easy for both individual developers and companies to publish extensions 
in the marketplace and to be able to reach the whole Qt ecosystem. Whether you 
are doing a new Qt module just for fun, want to find new ways to expand your 
existing product sales channels, or are thinking of trying a new business idea, 
we got you covered. The publisher guidelines are available 
inhttps://wiki.qt.io/Qt_Marketplace_Publisher_Guidelines.
We have been putting our efforts in developing the marketplace, but without our 
active community, there would not be any content. We were very fortunate to 
have a dedicated bunch of early adopters both working with us during the 
development process and onboarding their extensions to the marketplace. We now 
have the first 100 extensions there.
Please, check our blog post https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-marketplace for further 
details.

You can find the marketplace from qt.io/marketplace 
so go ahead and give it a try!
