The "app store" was a shim, something put in place because webapps as Google and other invisioned them were not ready, for many reasons. They came to power with a single unified store when there was only one large market iOS. Much like when Windows had sole dominance people made apps for Windows that was were the money was. I can only think that nightmare of porting to all these app stores will push developers into a new model the web app. The real issue is monetizing web apps in a easy convenient tractionless form. Ads can not be the future for all software, can it?
- kibwen 14y agoI'm actually not sure if Chrome's app store allows developers to monetize apps... it would seem kind of absurd if they didn't, but a cursory examination doesn't display any prices. If nothing else, web app monetization is the focus of one of Mozilla's current projects, set to launch later this year.[1] [1] https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/apps/partners/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/apps/partners/
