Work In Progress Forum?

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases

Hi,

I was wondering if it that would be reasonable to ask for a Work in Progress Forum?

The benefits would be :

Generate interest for an upcoming app

  1. Exchange advices

  2. Get to know developers more - currently forum members don’t have profiles so it’s a bit hard to discover each other’s works

That would be the perfect companion to the “Have an app created with Corona? Let us know here.” forum.

I don’t see any reasons why it wouldn’t benefit the community, but if there are some informations that I am not aware of please tell me.

Hi,

as this thread as been moved to a different forum, I guess that someone from Ansca at least *read* it quickly :slight_smile:

I think that showing progress on an app is a great way to build anticipation.

Why is showing a work in progress important?

  • it helps to anticipate customers needs

  • support marketing efforts

  • build a customer base

Benefits

  • It helps to get people’s attention

  • focus marketing efforts on the right target

  • it brings more sales, because people are more likely to buy an app that they have heard before it’s released

  • Success for an app means even more visibility for Ansca

To Ansca

  1. What do you think about this?

  2. Are there any plans to provide a “Work in Progress” forum anytime soon?

Thank you!

Hello MrMells :slight_smile:

I read it and I moved it to Feature Requests from Off Topic.

I have added it to the pile of requests we have and will bring it up in our next meeting. (I will also present your points as to why it is a good idea.)

+1, its cool idea
it will be like a blog forum for anyone who wants to detail their works in progress, like posting some art or whatever [import]uid: 16142 topic_id: 17643 reply_id: 67762[/import]

sounds a bit like the Community Beta Testing group [import]uid: 49447 topic_id: 17643 reply_id: 67767[/import]

Well, I’m thinking about something a bit different.
Beta testing concerns just a part of what can appear in “Work in Progress” from my point of view. [import]uid: 95346 topic_id: 17643 reply_id: 67851[/import]
