List App on the Github app marketplace #17

Open SimonLab opened 6 years ago

SimonLab commented 6 years ago

---- NOTE: CANNOT PROCEED UNTIL APP HAS 250 INSTALLATIONS ----

As a developer of the github-backup Github app I want to list the app on the Github marketplace So that users can found the app and install it directly from the marketplace.

Requirements

Link to the requirements for the app to be listed on the marketplace: https://developer.github.com/apps/marketplace/listing-apps-on-github-marketplace/requirements-for-listing-an-app-on-github-marketplace/

From an MVP view we might not want to publish the app straight away to the marketplace (especially if the app is not allowed in beta and that a paid version should be defined) however we need to review all the list of requirements to make sure that the app will be able to be published

@SimonLab thank you for opening this issue. Given the "minimum installations" of 250 we are "blocked" from listing our App in the Marketplace until we have a degree of adoption. This is good news because it forces us to focus on the Product (Service) before "marketing". If we can get it built, deployed and reliable we can get our existing ("consulting") clients to use it. That will give us the "Beta" testers we need to refine the UI/UX. We will then need to open a separate issue on "Organic Growth" to get us to the 250 installs. But for now we are exclusively focussing on Building the MVP. 👍

As soon as we have shipped the "Beta" of the app we can get a few hundred people to test it.
