Honestly, you're better off outsourcing or building the website.
Software isn't just code, it's a product. Apple has found a way to use their standardized nature to force people to conform to their product with their user interfaces, but with desktop software, that's not the case. The feeling that a software product gives off has to be uniform in all aspects of its sale and usage, or you'll lose potential customers. Take, for example, Panic software (http://www.panic.com/ http://www.panic.com/). Their web site, ordering interface, and applications themselves all give off an aura of clean professionalism. This unification isn't something you can get with an App Store-like distribution model.
That having been said, I know Bodega (http://appbodega.com/ http://appbodega.com/) is trying to build an App Store for Apple desktops.
- rmc 16y agoAn App Store for Mac desktops? That sounds very risky. If Apple release their own built in App Store then your business is gone.
- JBerlinsky 16y agoTrue. It hasn't really taken off as far as I can tell, either. I don't think any application have Bodega as their only distribution model.
