    Most of your users access the responsive version with IOS and will continue to access, even if they create a PWA. There's no reason to create a desktop-only version, right? The theme of responsive design would remain the same, the novelty would be the PWA. One thing don't need to replace the other. The difference is that users could have that option and the search engines too, which instead of indexing a page with 15s of load, would index to compatible mobile which loads in 5s or much less.

     

    Anyway, we can not ignore that IOS is used by the minority of users and since 2009 has only fallen. It's almost 10 years since the fall. On the other hand the use of android only increases every year.

    IOS vs Android:

    PWAs are not supported in a form that is beneficial to >50% of mobile traffic and until apple embraces it, it will never be more than a niche technology. I'm not saying apple is this important, it's just that in markets where a lot of us have large forums, our users are predominantly apple/iOS users.

    PWAs Are Now Available for Apple Devices with iOS 11.3

    An app is impracticable for several reasons already mentioned.  The path is an indexable webapp and at the moment the PWA technology is the best available. Example is the mobile site of twitter, just compare it with a site with responsive design. It is very different, much faster, much easier to navigate, because it was made for mobile.. If that is not possible, AMP pages, even read-only, would already help to index the pages better.

    I'm following up on all the topics on the subject here in the forum and trying to argue about the importance of "mobile first" as this is a reality and has no back, but so far their only statement on the subject is that "they do not are ignoring the mobile. "

    Glad they are not ignoring. Your poll makes it clear that most are losing traffic because of this. I hope we have good news in the next updates.

    Not to be unfair, this is not only a problem of IPB, it is of all the old forum platforms.

    By “primarily mobile,” Google is referring to the fact that the majority of people who use Google search today now do so from mobile devices, and have done so since 2015.

    Responsive design is already outdated simply because most users are accessing the sites through the smartphone.  The web has changed to mobile, it's that simple and there's no turning back! If a software has a "mobile version" it is because it is working with the audience of the past. We are already coming at the time that the sites will have "desktop version".  

    The focus is the mobile and this will only intensify in the next few years. See the poll. Everyone is losing audience because of that. That simple.

    Learn how to build a PWA in 5 minutes
    One of the most important characteristics of Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) is the “progressive”. You don’t have to implement every feature of a PWA to consider your site a PWA. Instead, the idea is that you implement a range of steps, each making your app better for your end users.

    This blog post makes a key assumption. There are many developers out there who want to make their apps progressively better, but they want to do it in 5 minutes or less. And that’s what this blog aims to show you.

    I'm obviously just speaking as a consumer, but there is also a point where you step back and realize IPS has a relatively small team for the scope of what they already support.

    That is true, such a product would create a demand for a team dedicated to it, in which case the fastest and most feasible way would be to create ways to integrate the community with such software.

  8. As it already works in the services mentioned above, IPS would only be the creator of the software, it would have no legal responsibility for the negotiations in the communities that buy the software.
    Each site owner needs to create the terms of service as in any other web service there are legal responsibilities, obviously hiring a lawyer to create these terms according to the laws of the country of origin.

     

    Legally I believe it would be like a small community fair. You, the forum owner will rent a space for small merchants and service providers to sell their products. In the services mentioned above, you have the option to choose between two types of payment. You can buy an annuity or monthly fee and the person sells your products in that space. That way the legal issue I believe would be equal to the owner of an event that rents space for marketers to sell their products at a fair.

    In the case of commission per percentage of sale, those who sell do not pay anything to offer the products or services, only pay if the sale is made, in that case I do not remember anything that can be used as an example of use outside the internet, but it is something like sites like AIRBNB do for example.

  9. This model in practice is similar to a classified, because the community is only an intermediary, the difference is that in this model there is a payment system and the community gets a small percentage of the sale. 5% for example. This can be used to sell products and services of any kind.

    Regarding legal issues, this varies from country to country, but legally I believe it is the same as when a person sells some product or service directly to another in a classified.

    The system is more geared towards digital goods being distributed, or site-sponsored physical goods.

    There are third party addons on the marketplace that facilitate user-to-user sales of items (i.e. "classifieds"), and we have some ideas rolling around internally to open up Commerce further.

    We are starting a project to implement this in our community, because as mentioned one of the friends above, relying solely on advertising and programs like Google AdSense that every year has been paying less, is close to unfeasible our site and I see that this is a reality of many communities, not just our own.

    We've researched and found systems like Sharetribe and Arcadier that charge you monthly for you to build a P2P system of stores.

    https://www.sharetribe.com/

    https://www.arcadier.com/

    The problem with choosing a solution like this is that our users would have to create a second account to access this platforms.

    It would be great to have this option directly on Invison because users would have direct access to this service without having to create a second access account.

    I see that the Marketplace here already works very much like this systems, I believe that it would only need some adaptations, no?
