This is a step... albeit in the wrong direction. There shouldn't be one Marketplace per browser/OS. We have the power to make a single unified marketplace, why don't we. As a developer, I don't want to maintain an HTML5 app, and then have to submit it to 10 different marketplaces with 10 different codes of conduct with 10 different formats.
- ineedtosleep 15y agoAgreed, and though you've not said specifically, this is what also bothers me about some of the "Software Center" type features (e.g. Linux Mint and Ubuntu). Can we not agree to have a store-like repository/front-end available for all distros? e.g. Have one entry point where developers can submit source/apps; set the distros supported/unsupported; go through some kind of community approval process. It's definitely not a small feat, but I think it would prove to be more helpful for _everyone_ than these per device/browser/OS markets.
