Fund my app: a new concept!
-
Hello everyone!
Today, I would like to introduce a new concept: Fund My App.
https://fund-my-app.com/ will now be the official donation link for all my apps on the Openstore. But it is much more than a simple donation page.
Fund My App allows you to fund the features you really need. Instead of donating for past development, you can support upcoming features, the apps to come, and the future development! It gives you a real opportunity to influence the future of your apps.
On this website, you will be able to create a new feature request for one of my apps, propose a new app idea, or even request modifications to another open-source app. You will be able to back these feature requests with a donation pledge.
You can also pledge a donation to an existing feature request created by another user on Fund My App. It therefore makes it possible to crowdfund features: individual pledges are combined to fund the development of a specific feature.
My current goal is to first test this concept through my own app development. I hope it can help foster more community-driven development and improve funding for open-source apps. If the concept proves successful, it could be extended way beyond my own projects.
Try it out, and don't hesitate to give me feedback, whether on the general idea or on its current implementation.
Cheers,
Pierre.Ps: I will make a video presentation of Fund My app soon.
Ps2: That doesn't change the fact that I plan to continue maintaining my applications on a volunteer basis. -
Brilliant Idea Pierre!
Thank you for all your contributions to Ubuntu Touch and its apps!

Thank you!
I just want to mention that currently I don't expect it to be more, than at best a side income, for now! But the most important for me, for now is really to test the concept to see if it can be an efficient way to fund open-source projects, and allow the community to have more influence on the development!
