Hello,
Quite an interesting post you did there and great feedback.
You mentioned one key point: Spammers. Which is a great deal, I mean, who wouldn't want to just get online and promote another server? You don't have to download any client-related stuff, quite an easy task. But as I get more feedback and eventually start to make this live, Every key point would be taken into consideration.
Like I mentioned, the servers who want to have this app, would require an auth patch between the app/server and of course, the server would have to patch some stuff for the communication to work out. I guess I could add anti-whatever when they apply the patch.
I mean, this is just the eaaaaaaaaaarly stage of the app and its one of the key aspects of developing one, getting feedback.
So to answer your questions:
- Yeah I wanna work on this, but before I do so, you gotta plan things.
- No. I want to have this to be closed source and if anyone is planning on developing extra features, would have to get access. I mean, don't get me wrong, OpenSource is great but things are done better when its private. This means that I plan to either sell licenses to use this app (since its gonna be server-based) or idk, something will come up. I'd have to really get convinced that opensource is the way to go, to actually pick it, but as of now, Closed source it is.
- Android at first, but once an android version is developed, porting it to iOS wouldnt be an issue. If I get enough people to support this, we could've 2 teams developing each section.
- You're welcome to send me a PM and we can keep exchanging ideas.
Greetings,
Erazer
