The second half is well said.
I'm also thinking of producing something for mobile users. Does it make sense to just stick with a web app or a mobile app is the way to go? (In my case I need the gps of the phone)
- SwellJoe 17y agoI didn't mean that "the web" is only for distributing web applications. You can sell anything from your own website. Mobile apps, web apps, installable desktop or server apps, etc. I'm saying you shouldn't go looking for ways to give your customers to someone else, if you can avoid it. If you want to reach iPhone users, you pretty much have to go through the Apple store...I question the economic value of iPhone users as a market, but if that's the application you want to build, and you need access to the whole phone, I guess that's the way you have to get there. But, I don't see any reason to go looking for more "app markets" that impose those same limitations, and separate you from your users in those ways. App markets are not good for developers, and they aren't good for consumers, so why go looking for more of them?
