Sponsored App Creation

[marcusquinn]

@robi Interesting, not seen that before, we're mostly Atom / Jetbrains & GitHub Desktop / CLI. Is git.cloudron.io already setup with GitPod or is that the proposal?

@marcusquinn
Have you tried it? Use the "Try it Now" button and feed it a github/gitlab project link.

Self hosted it would be adapted to the git.cloudron.io domain. https://www.gitpod.io/blog/gitpod-self-hosted-0.4.0/

Yeah, it's an interesting tech. Incredibly useful on the go and for people that don't have dedicated software license for professional code IDE's. I really liked playing with it, but my Desktop apps just run much faster.

@Lonk
Perhaps you could describe and show a how-to setup your desktop app dev environment for those looking to get started.

For everyone else, there's GitPod, plus the ability to co-create with others (up-to 5 people) in the same environment.

@robi I plan doing a complete run through for getting a Cloudron Development up and running on your desktop (a tutorial post on the Custom Apps forum category). But, right now, mine is pretty hacked together since I just started developing for this platform 1.5 weeks ago. So, my setup is not something I'm proud of rn, despite it technically working (inefficiently).

Meant to post this here:

Be good if there was a way to make Upvotes developer sponsorship pledges!

$100 = 10 App Wishlist Sponsorship Upvotes. I don't mind sponsoring a few things here and there - but developers have to eat, so I think if everyone wants specific apps, start pledging some Paypal dollars in the Wishlist threads to feed the hungry

@marcusquinn I think my ideal scenario would be something like

1. Cloudron 6.0 fully open source again
2. Cloudron sets-up an Open Collective
3. All subscription monies get paid into the collective and all monies coming in/ out totally transparent (this is one of the really nice features of open collective) - sadly in reality this might not make much sense because of default %'s taken out - although OC recently started trialing 0% fees (still payment processor fees, obviously) with pay it forward option for contributors.
4. Option for people to pay more money into the collective should the so choose and have the means. Either lump sum or regular amount (both are already supported).
5. Developers who make wished-for apps can also be paid out of the collective and everything is totally transparent.

Or something like that. I open source and I total transparency (Buffer, for example, are really great on this, see https://buffer.com/about#transparency )

Sure, in the meantime, knowing how business can stretch developers thin - let's help them with the PR around the interweb as more subscribers equals more funds to recruit

Can't edit any comments after a time now, so adding this to the sponsoring wishlist:

@marcusquinn I made you a mod for this category. Can you check if you can edit now?

[marcusquinn]

@girish Danke, that works
