I’m not judging in any way, just listing some observations about the developer/Marketplace situation in the recent years. 
4.5 tightened the rules drastically. Result: several developers left for good. price increases. Developments needs a self-hosted installation and possibly a demo website. It’s now 850 + 300 annually. Someone starting out as developer really needs some killer products to earn that back and then generate profits. Cloud testing of resources would make it even more expensive (+1,788 annually).  Shift/changes to cloud. The lower tiers don’t have the ability to install third-party products. This decreases the reach and makes running independent third-party shops less useful/profitable.  Signatures turned off. No possibility for passive advertisement through community posts.  Limited compatibility field. Sales can only be created for one version, limiting the income.  I have no magical solutions to offer, but are improvements for this something we could put on the table for 2023?
Currently, I am not very optimistic. We only have a handful of active developers left with continued announcements of departures. If it is still working well for some (?), it’s probably because of a large set of files and existing customers with renewals. But I can’t see how new developers would want to get involved in the current situation, replacing the ones who left or even growing the marketplace. 
I understand the costs and downsides for IPS. Paying for code reviews, chargeback fees and of course all the support issues with third-party resources. But then again: Looking at the broader field of online software: all the big players strive with and in part because of a flourishing third-party marketplace. So, improvement could easily be a “win-win-win” situation for IPS, developers and IPS customers. 
 
(I would have some suggestions myself but I don’t want to push the topic in a specific direction, so I am leaving it at the problem statement for now.)

Hello, @Afrodude! How can I reproduce such an error? Perhaps this conversation has some properties? On which specific page are you getting this error?

Thanks, I will look into this and fix it in the next version!

Hello @Nakamura RTS, thanks, it ill be removed in next version, because ideas don't have a ratings

There are a number of third party resource providers that have created other payment gateways.  You can find them in the IPS Marketplace here:

@Kirill Gromov appears to have created several different ones, so you might reach out to him if there is a specific gateway you might like to hire him to create for you.  
He's one of many third party developers who create resources for the IPB platform...  you can find more developers at:

Hello, @GazzaGarratt!
The application uses a core poll table, so most likely Achievement rules should work correctly, but this has not been tested.
I think i will update it next week!

Hello, In the next version, I will add polls to activity feeds.
What issue with achievements are you talking about?

Hello, thank you for your purchase!
The application has its own polls functionality and, accordingly, contains only its own polls!
There is an app from another developer to show all polls - Polls Wall, but I can add a setting in the admin center to show all polls at all, if you need!

Support topic for app
 

Hello, the app will be updated in the next few days

Yes, the application will automatically create the page yourcommunity.com/polls where all the polls of the application will be located. Like this:

Hello, @GazzaGarratt!

Hello!

Hello!
Yes, I'll add the latest ideas widget in the next version, thanks!

Thanks Kirill, this could easily become a 'core' app for many people to use across their websites - for each one I use as a core feature, I would love to go live with Ideas with some Achievements to ensure the whole application gets used effectively.
Keep us informed if you can find a way! Thank You! 🙂

Sorry for late response!
You can install the application and if there are any problems, please contact me to solve them in a short time.
Hello, I think it's possible, but I don't have plans to do it yet, maybe a little later
