RE: Teleports | More Steem Dapps to Android
I see the positives in all this but I have some questions regarding negatives or new things:
Does that mean that this takes the official app name on the application store? while still being an unofficial app? if so, how would you free the name if the official app wants to come?
How does this work on a "copyright" base?
Could you clarify that authorization from the developers has always been received beforehand?
How does this work with purchases made from the app itself? are they sent 100 % and you just rely on the 2 STEEM support?
Is this just a webview? what other features than a webview is there? what do you add to it currently, and what is on the roadmap?
I would suppose Apple review system would refuse such unofficial apps, so that's why it does not land on iphone.
I was really surprised to see an "official approach" to feature contents from other developers in a webview system.
I come from regular publishing systems so my surprise must come out from this.
Overall I believe the blockchain, the communities, and better access to app features all fit into what you are proposing! so I am sorry if my questions come as a surprise, but I am really inquiring into the authorization process, if cooperation has already been settled with the devs beforehand. Again, sorry for the confusion but I believe the news would warrant such questions.
Hi @elindos
There are no short term plans to bring them to the Play store, If bring them to the Play store the names will be changed, making it more clear it is a unofficial app. and could add a corner to the icons with the Teleports logo, so that if the dapp owners woud release a own official app, it would be more clear.
Project owners is asked if they don't mind / want to have this kind of third party unofficial app. (i'm not going to share the chat logs)
(same as point 2)
It works the same as accessing the dapp website, and there is no cut from in game spending coming towards me. The apps are free, and if you like them and want to feel happy using them, then please donate for future development.
App starts, shows Teleports splashscreen, the splashscreen will have more customization features added, On the splashscreen you can press the more apps button and it load the Teleports website, (where you can download the other apps and try them as well, after splashscreen, webview loads the dapp website. The app is made to work on Android Phones tablets and Android TV. more details about the schedule can be found on the Fundition page.
iOS versions are not scheduled, and i will only look into it if there is a big demand for it and wont cost a lot of money.
it is a open source project, and people are free to try it, same as many (open source) projects.
No need to feel sorry for asking questions, get in contact on Discord if you have more questions or leave a comment.
