App invites #303

Open zugaldia opened 7 years ago

It'd be great if there was an easy way for developers to invite other developers to check out the demos in the app. How about we implement "app invites"? One option is Firebase invites but we should research other options:

Firebase Invites are an out-of-the-box solution for app referrals and sharing via email or SMS. To customize the invitation user experience, or to generate links programmatically, use Firebase Dynamic Links.

Word of mouth is one of the most effective ways of getting users to install your app. In a recent study of thousands of smartphone users, researchers found that the #1 reason people discovered an app is because they heard about it from a friend or colleague. Firebase Invites makes it easy to turn your app's users into your app's strongest advocates.

I've done some research and I haven't really found any other alternatives that offer the type of thing that Firebase Invites is about. Most searches for invite/referral programs return results about programs that compensate people per referreral, etc. rather than just an easy way to share links/apps between folks. Ok to go with Firebase Invites for now @zugaldia ? Suggestions on how/where else to look for other options? Like in the other Firebase-related tickets, I'm not exactly sure how this would affect demo app usage in 🇨🇳
