If you read the sidebar or read the weekly Saturday APPreciation threads, you might have seen a link to ourapplication wiki.
This is a wiki where we only list apps made by confirmed Reddit community members that are active posters and in good-standing (ie. not banned by the admins for whatever reason).
While we haven’t updated the rest of our wiki pages (apart from the AMA section), we’ve been painstakingly ensuring that each and every developer that requests that their app be placed on the wiki has their request seen by one of us. This, despite the fact that Reddit’s moderator mail system is still terrible.
But we’ve been floating an idea around for awhile, and it’s to turn our app wiki into an app store.
/r/Android App Store
That’s where you, a developer reading this sub, will hopefully come in. I’m no developer, and neither are the rest of our mods. There is no benefit in us doing this, but we thought it would be a great way for users to discover new apps that are made by a Redditor, so we can specifically support the Reddit Android developer community.
Since we have to abide by Reddit’s site-wide rules, here are some caveats:
- We (mods) can’t monetize the app. No ad revenue, in-app payments, or initial purchase price should go to the developer of this app.
- The app should be totally free, including ad-free. This is to support the community on Reddit, and all of the relevant data is hosted on our wiki page.
- The most we can do for you is to give you Reddit gold (I have enough Play Credit to give you half a year’s worth if that’s what you want), some neat flair, and a permanent sidebar link to the app’s download page (F-Droid, APKMirror, XDA, or wherever else will take it).
If this sounds like a terrible idea, let us know and we’ll scrap it. If this sounds like something somebody would be interested in, let us know.
