poll The old appstore on https://apps.owncloud.com is proprietary, single user-maintained and has shown quite a lot of issues GitHub · Where software is built . Currently NextCloud is developing a new appstore where it could make sense to fork it and use it as a appstore for ownCloud: [i…

Good idea. The new appstore is planned for NC 11 ( Nextcloud 11 overview · Issue #745 · nextcloud/server · GitHub ), the sister release of OC 9.2.

Didn’t i read the statement that oc/nc think about one combined store? Makes more sence compared to publish every app twice

Ah, good point: [image] "Nextcloud Is Just An Ordinary Dirty Deal" Server That sounds really good. Have read something similar here: Regarding Gallery, nothing should change in the short term, since people in both camps are trying not to break compatibility with apps …

Not sure if forking, but if themeing is possible it would at least be possible to deploy an app store on the OC server. Publishing apps twice might be an issue though.

Issues are something to be expected from the very moment of NeXTcloud birth. OK to theme/fork, only if license allows it, of course.

RealRancor: a lot of issues GitHub · Where software is built . I totally agree and I think we should address this with highest priority. A new and open source app store is needed. [image] Rello: Didn’t i read the statement that oc/nc think about one combined store? AFAIK there have be…

The old Appstore is not what we want. The next step now should be to collect our requirements on an Appstore. Forking is quick and easy, but we will also box us into the given boundaries and design decisions. I really would love to make this much better. And I would really like to know your ideas …

I would love a Donate button where users can donate an amount to the devs that wrote an app.

In owncloud, you have bountysource to put some money on topics. The new appstore is developed by nextcloud, so p+ask them, if they already have a way to contribute money.

IMO the bountysource is to complicated. The new ownCloud app platform should have ways for Developers to earn money easily.

Fork NextCloud appstore?

Development
