full python clickable app prototype

developerbayman

truth is maybe if i try really hard i could be a success here? .....i work at burger king ....is there any money in creating clickable apps full time?? ...i understand almost everything is open source or free with UT? ...i have never seen a paid app on the open store ??? ...this python app will be free ...but i cant always do free ...or am i thinking about barking up the wrong tree?? (for money ill still make apps but for fun and have much less time to invest)

The OpenStore does not include facilities for paid app. But you could always provide your own. Not saying this is easy, but that is an option. Maybe have a limited version in the OpenStore and sell licenses to unlock the premium features or something similar.

Apps currently are not required to be open source, as long s they are fully confined. Any apps requiring special permissions need to be able to have their source audited.

@arubislander im thinking librepay? i would implement a unlock or something i think or look into ad revenue ....but it feels like heresy to put google ads in a UT application?? ....any thoughts on non google adds maybe even crypto i know there a few options maybe you heard some rumors?

developerbayman

@arubislander meh ...i think i would rather do a straight forward ...charge then unlock and no BS kinda go back in the day pay once no irritation its yours

However there is an option to pop up a donation proposal

Sure, but that is optional, whereas payment would be compulsory.

i might be getting some where?

developerbayman

so my biggest issue is pip dependency and integration in the system able to retrieve these dependencies for basically all the pip packages i might have to rethink my approach to this

developerbayman

i need to learn more about clickable service mechanism ......the app launches a services than handles pip management with whatever hooking events to change the /usr/local/lib/python to /home/phablet/.local/share/<fullappname>/ ......whatcha all think?

developerbayman

a two way direction service?

That's easy. At the moment, there is none.

developerbayman

@arubislander WHAT!!!??? ....how? ...like so many questions

developerbayman

ok the notification system? surly works on a service type base ....im sure the lingo is different but yeah

arubislander

@developerbayman There are services on UT... there is just no streamlined or officially sanctioned mechanism yet to describe and bundle services as clicks. Different apps implement different solutions to this problem when they require it.

If the service only needs to be available when the main app is running, some apps launch the background service on startup and terminate it on shutdown. If the service needs to be running independently of the main app, then you could see the app deploying and hooking up systemd user service configurations on first run.
