Hello @jodyalbritton,
On my side, I have prepared 3 other questions (apart from the marketspace one) for Alex at the next developers call this coming Wednesday.
1) What is the ST technological roadmap as per the developers perspective?
As developers, we don’t have any clue where ST is heading…
For example,
a) How SAMI & Artik will affect the development platform?
b) Which UI capabilities will be available with the new presentation layer in the coming months?
c) What is the vision for local processing? Can developers use local processing later for their own device handlers and smartapps? If yes, how certification for local processing will work? What are the best practices (if any)?
2) When a “real API” layer will be available?
What I mean by real APIs is some API and security layers that don’t require to explicitly specify each device as a REST endpoint.
3) How do you envision the developers beta program in the short and mid terms?
The beta program was supposed to allow developers to test new ST app versions, and new products.
So far, there has not been a lot of initatives in that regard.
My 2 cents.
