I-App Store eyethulwe yi-Apple ngo-2008 lapho yaziwa khona ngokuthi i-iPhone OS (namuhla i-iOS) ikhombisile ukuthi izitolo zohlelo lokusebenza zibalulekile kunoma yiluphi uhlelo olusebenzayo. I-OS eyisisekelo ibizwa ngokuthi I-AppCenter noDaniel Foré nethimba lakhe baqale umkhankaso we ukuqhuma ku-Indiegogo ukuthuthukisa "isikhungo sesoftware" sayo ngendlela engacaci ngokuphelele.
La umkhankaso, okuthi ngesikhathi sokubhala lokhu sekuzuze ama-70% walokho abakudingayo, ihlose ukuqoqa imali yokuhlanganisa ngokomzimba abakhiqizi abakhulu be-OS isonto lonke, bathi, ukudala i-AppCenter, yabo isitolo sohlelo lokusebenza. Lapha kuphakama umbuzo wokuqala: Dala i-AppCenter? Isikhungo sesoftware esinegama elifanayo asitholakalanga isikhathi eside kuma-elementary OS?
I-AppCenter, isitolo sohlelo lokusebenza olungelona olusha se-OS
Ngokusekelwe kulokho esikuqondayo ngamazwi kaForé, i-AppCenter izophakamisa ifayili le- imodeli entsha yokusabalalisa isoftware okuzokwenza izinto zibe lula kubathuthukisi ngenkathi kunikezwa uhlelo lokukhokha olungabizi kunoma yiliphi iphakethe:
Nge-AppCenter sifuna ukuvumela abathuthukisi abazimele ukuthi benze kalula futhi basabalalise izinhlelo zomthombo zomdabu ezivulekile ze-OS eyisisekelo. Kepha sifuna nokuqinisekisa ukuthi kunemodeli yebhizinisi ecacile, enobulungisa futhi elungile evumela abantu ukuthi bakhe futhi bajabulele izinhlelo ezinhle.
Ekuqaleni, singaqonda ukuthi lokho okuhlelwa nguForé ukwengeza ku-AppCenter yayo ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi abasebenzisi bakhokhe lokho engingakuchaza ngokuthi "intando", okusho ukuthi, kungasebenzisa imodeli "yokukhokha okufunayo" ye-portal ezimele yokudlala Inqwaba.
Umqondo ubonakala utholakala ku-Indiegogo, kepha kusazobonakala ukuthi ngabe onjiniyela bangayenza inzuzo ngale ndlela. Ungakhokha ukusebenzisa isoftware esingayithola mahhala ngezinye izindlela?
