So I've been thinking a bit more about sandstorm recently as I'm planning to build something and need to work out how I want to host/distribute it.
It'll process data for people and I'd absolutely love to be able to write the app "ignoring" multiple uploads, user management, team-like sharing, etc.
I'd be expecting this to potentially be a paid app though. In app billing is mentioned as a "coming soon", is there a roadmap or expected timescale for this? Is it a "we kinda plan this sometime" or "currently in development, releasing soon" kind of phase?
If not, I don't know how well it'd fit on their shared hosting, as the processing might be fairly intensive. Is it reasonable for me to install sandstorm on a server with my app and let people use that? Sort of like the shared hosting but with only my app available? Does that make sense or am I completely misusing the intended overall structuring of sandstorm?
- kentonv 10y agoWe decide what to do next based on demand, so having someone like you asking us for in-app billing would make it likely to happen sooner. Feel free to email us and tell us about your plans! With that said, I would expect in-app billing to be at least 3-6 months out, possibly longer if we see more interest for other features first. However, note that you don't necessarily need in-app billing to sell a Sandstorm app. You could always transact the sale yourself, and then ship an .spk file (Sandstorm package) to the user. Anyway, please email me (kenton at sandstorm.io) if you'd like to discuss this!
