Understood. May I redirect _that_ discussion to a recent Topic with a more diverse audience… ie. to:

> I’m posting this to see how much support a developer run smartapp/device store would have. My rough concept is as follows. A website for payed smartapps and devices with PayPal to handle payment processing. Features would include,( if possible) try before you buy, reviews, auto update, support request, screen shots, and Faq. To keep things simple developers would be charged a fixed price per transaction like $0.10 and (hopefully) be able to charger users more than $1.00 to buy and use various smartapps and devices. What do you guys/gals think?
