nudge.. ?

What happened here? We had community demand and two of the maintainers here volunteering to help package it.

Did we drop the ball? What went wrong?

Same, would also love to use Appsmith via my Cloudron!

@Appointee3084 did you upvote the original message ?

I'As a newbie here, so I can't upvote. But appsmith on cloudron would be awesome!

[Appointee3084]

@timconsidine I did now! Eager to use appsmith via cloudron… Due to the length of this being requested I do fear that this is not in the near future though…

@timconsidine We votes but we see other apps added every month with much fewer votes. I feel Cloudron prioritize new apps using other criteria than community votes, which is sad and remove the purpose of voting...

[marcusquinn]

@igaudette It could be other factors, like the complexity of the app to package and maintain. Votes is just one indicator.

From what I can see, there's also a lot of testing time that goes into packaging apps, and many hit blockers that need upstream issues solved before progress can continue.

To make what should be simple and reliable for the Cloudron app user, a lot of quality control work needs to be done by the Cloudron app packager.

Time once again to suggest a bounty for developers and maintainers. Would cloudron be worth £2 more per month if it had [this] app? If yes, fund it. It's still not clear to me why there is resistance to this idea.

[igaudette]

@marcusquinn Yes I understand... but AppSmith have everything that Cloudron requires so why 3 years later this is still not integrated?

AppSmith or Budibase are an excellent complementary of N8N... They added the backend but they haven't added any Frontend/UI builder to complement with N8N. This doesn't make much sense to me.

@eddowding Yes I would pay an extra to have more apps. I understand some apps requires more work so why not adding a "premium apps" add-on. I would definitely pay the extra. I have no problem paying their times... Cloudron is amazing and I don't want to use anything else, but now I'm at a stage where I'm blocked because some important apps are not available on Cloudron.
