Marketplace rules will change for V5. 3rd-party devs probably will be allowed to create similar resources. 

I do hope that will change. that developers can create an application that improves upon what may already exist, or a better equivalent.

and this is to everyone's advantage, customers and IPS alike.

I don't think that IPS has refrained until today from creating similar applications that may or already exist in the marketplace.

moreover, IPS is satisfied with the bare minimum in its applications, surely for lack of time, but which then does not make you really want to be used and rather to go and see (blog, sales page, LMS, ...), despite the fact that we can count on a certain stability of the products it must be said.

there really is no advantage to living in an environment closed to everything, without "competition" moreover where it is the customers who are the first to suffer, see even IPS

the marketplace can only be an advantage in the sense that it serves to improve the product and things where the IPS team does not have time to focus on it.

as we were able to receive the number of installations of a popular application, I would like to know the number of customers who have decided to switch to the cloud in order to be able to use races, or improved gallery, video encoding...

otherwise, I don't question the cloud, but when my project is running, when it brings me income, of course I prefer to go to the cloud. especially since I believe that there may no longer be any bugs with third-party applications when updates are made and this is a great inconvenience of the cloud, I hope it deletes.

and certainly from a certain number of users it is certainly more profitable to go to the cloud, and this allows IPS to continue to live, which is also an advantage for customers.

I really don't know what to say except I hope that all these modifications are full of good intentions towards customers and developers as well, which allow many of us to stay in this community rather than seeing other similar products.

I think that you can't have everything without anything, and that you have to have to give up accepting many things, even difficult for a better future product.

for the developers it will surely be a lot of work to update but I hope that afterwards there will be less work to update their applications for future versions which will then give them more time to improve them

I can understand that you close your system as much as possible in order to have a bug-free product, but I hope that you do it for the purpose of improvement and not of exclusivity

there are plenty of paid products better than yours but limited and sold by number of users. and your very strong point of the cloud it must be said is that you do not limit the number of users and views etc.

the developers can help us to have products similar to others for a very competitive price and where the cloud could then be interesting to be taken if we can have what we need without limit.

do what you have to do but be careful that the choices are not only about money because I don't think that makes a community, social product successful... we could see it a little with twitter.. .

can you translate a bit for non-developers?

because if I understand the plugins will no longer be available as is but the applications yes

do all applications in v. 4 can be updated to v. 5?

some plugins no and others yes by becoming applications if I understand? but no real answer yet because it is under development

if I understand the advantage of this update is an ease of compatibility of applications with future updates, even large ones and months of interference between IPS and certain plugins which brought certain malfunctions

why do you underestimate the value of the market? while you do not know the future of IPS, what will be its future potential customers?

nor the number of customers developing in-house third-party applications

also see your direct competitor how being the word press community using bbPress, woo commerce, learn dash (LMS) and others, and not just professionals

you can greatly outperform them if you don't underestimate the market here

your admin panel is better and incomparable, you can manage members and groups better here, there are a lot of bugs here and third party application problems due to updates and it will be even better in the future as I understand

it is possible to do much better here and cleaner than the equivalent of the applications available at word press

the applications here are much better in options than their wordpress equivalent

you want to create an LMS then at least leave the possibility to the developers to improve it and make it better than learn dash from word press

can developers make improvements to your applications like LMS if they are only available on the cloud and therefore they have no access to the source files
