A way to make your builder even easier to use

I have an Idea its not a new one as far as its use by other sites but I think it could greatly speed up the building process for everyone.

Use your clients
There are some who totally understand how to use your software and have built some great apps,
You can use a different app you have built to create a template or plugin to get a head start on a different project.
So why not create a public section that lets your clients submit single page working apps that can be plugged into or built onto in their own project.
As an incentive to both submit apps and to use the paid version of your software by restricting access and submit policies to paid version only.
You can further increase the incentive to submit by giving awards according to a voting system in the form of plan discounts and cash awards for voted best.
If it was me I would create an basic app for each of your software's features, ie
Mapping; Multiple Markers, Mapping; Locate Me and so on, These are free to everyone as an open source; Then your clients can add to that Submitted single page apps can be paid versions but must follow the pricing policy and cap something like

  1. All Paid version must come with a complete doc file on how to plug the app into and customize the app.
    including
    A all namespace references and or potential broken namespace links during import, and or database creation and API integration
    B all paid apps must provide an email and support system or forum to be used as support, Valid Unsupported complaints can be a cause for removal and seizure of any remaining proceeds. Submitter may change app to free to remove support obligations
    C Proceeds are paid monthly according to date of app submitted and approval

    .......
    You guys get the idea
    I would be glad to help flesh out the system if you would like but I think

A way to make your builder even easier to use

It is a very good idea and we will doing just that. There are two ways to create the sample apps: 1) via plug-ins, 2) via project template (when you click More create options).

If there are sample apps that you would like to include.. just let us know here or email us at a href="mailto:support@appery.io" rel="nofollow"support@appery.io/a.

You could further extend the Functionality by creating a JavaScript Database library in the ui sorted by functionality and so on, that fellow clients can contribute to, not only will it be easier to search and compare to our own written script without having to jump page to page or risk a copy-n-paste formatting error it will help teach new users the script and how to use it.

A way to make your builder even easier to use

the thing about trying to use this forum to search out examples is that many times they are one sided or missing parts say for example the map .... in a drop down tied to the selected element or a right click open scripts or help on element let's the user select different scenarios ... adding markers from database,,, or changing map type or get directions

I understand. Being a community forum, the examples/code samples usually just demonstrate a very specific issue.
