Joel R got a reaction from Jon Matcho in Marketplace Closure
Yes, I will corral all of the Marketplace devs together so we come to consensus on this project. I've been fortunate to have worked with many of them over my 10 years with the community. They all know me (for better or for worse, ha 😆).
My goal for this new Marketplace Directory is simple: provide an independent directory using Downloads. It will link you to the providers' own website for support.
More broadly, to anyone who is hesitant about these changes, there are some pros and cons:
- More independence, more variation, and total flexibility for developers and themers. They can build their own core, their own gallery, their own package of plugins. You can't do any of that in the current Marketplace. I expect to see some truly experimental and innovative approaches to how developers and themers work with IPS 5.
- More independence, more variation, and total flexibility in how they charge. Providers can charge crypto, they can offer a bundled set, they can offer discounts, they can set their own policies for chargebacks and refunds.
- Trust will be deeper, not wider. The IPS Marketplace gave a broad stamp of trust to all providers for meeting standard IPS coding. But for clients, this is an opportunity to deepen ties to one or two trusted developers and take our most important apps private and control our own development pipeline. I do believe the biggest developers will still offer - and can make healthy income - off a broad portfolio of single purpose mods, but those by itself aren't going to dramatically fulfill your community's specific needs.

A directory will provide visibility, scale, and ease for everyone to visit.
Developers will handle payments and support on their own.

To Marketplace developers and the Invision community as a whole, I will be happy to host an independent and collaborative Marketplace directory. It's already in the works.
I fully support a thriving ecosystem of developers and clients: to extend, to inspire, and to push the boundaries of our platform. Technology is an important differentiator more than ever in the modern web, and working with developers (either privately or through their public mods) can help fine-tune your platform.
More information and invitations will be sent out to active Marketplace devs. You are also welcome to send me a direct PM.

Joel R reacted to Nathan Explosion in [Feature Request] Make Badges visible to users (earned ones and available ones)
Why? If you had enquired with me, I would advise you that the application will continue to be provided and supported by myself. And "unclear support of future version of Invision Community" is unknown at this time, so can't be answered by myself until we get hands on the software.

Joel R reacted to ReyDev in Marketplace Closure
As a developer who has years of development experience and I am familiar with various techs that I could use in the development of apps but I didn't due to their limitations by IPS. I am sure that this method will help to make IPS more powerful and eventually users will use it and who will have a powerful board. Also, this method increases the competition between developers, and better apps are produced. If you look at other platforms and CMSs like WordPress, you will see that there are many developers for an app and you can choose the best one after comparing them. Many of the apps in the market can be better developed and released to the public, but considering that other developers have done it, I didn't do it so it doesn't affect their sales.
For example, I was recently working on an LMS project, which was quite similar to the apps available in WordPress and other CMSs. When I found out that IPS itself had published the same, so I stopped the development, because I didn't know if this app would get permission to publish after the completion of the project. But I can continue to develop them now. also, I have made a lot of custom apps and plugins (+70) that I could publish in the market according to the agreement I had with the clients, but I didn't take the risk due to IPS restrictions, and now I'm thinking about publishing them. there are even apps whose value is less than $10 and some do not need renewal. We can manage them in this way.
