Recommendations to announce a new app
-
I'm about to upload my app to the Open Store. I'm pretty excited!
I'm used to distributors like Steam that have whole processes to promote new apps. Does the Ubuntu Touch community have something where I can announce my new app, like a forum category? Is it standard to just upload on the Open Store without any announcement?
What is the recommended way to "present" my app to the community?

@Plarde Hello. I don't see what would prevent you from presenting your app, work, on the forum. Other developers have already done this, for example see https://forums.ubports.com/post/77871 . On the contrary, it allows you to debate points for improvement, raise bugs and discuss the points you want.

Agreed that the forum is a good place. There are also various Telegram channels too, which I know less about.
Additionally, the folks doing the Q&A videos have been doing a nice job lately of mentioning new and updated apps. And the Open Store itself highlights new and updated apps. I think this gets noticed a lot more in a more limited app ecosystem like we have with UT. I've come across many an app that I wasn't otherwise looking for by seeing it in that section.
Excited to see what your app is about! Thanks for your work! -
Thanks! Seems like announcing it here is the best idea.
I'll upload my app in a few moments, and I'll start a thread here!
