With EasySocial 2 in the midst of the development cycle, subscribers want to see certain features, but there is only so much time, and so many resources available from the StackIdeas Team to develop all requested features.

ENCOURAGING APP DEVELOPERS with an APP FUND

I am sure there are third party developers and independent developers that would be willing to develop new apps, or make major feature improvements to existing Apps for EasySocial, as long as they are paid for their efforts and supported. This helps StackIdeas and all subscribers to EasySocial. Crowfunding APPS for EasySocial makes sense, and it will help to increase value for everyone that subscribes to EasySocial.

I propose that an EASYSOCIAL APP FUND be established and brought to fruition by having discussions in this forum post, with a goal to get new Apps and App improvements most wanted by having paying members of the APP FUND getting access to all developed APPS. The individual apps can be sold through the App Store for EasySocial,

I am willing to put up $120 per year ($10 a month) to help establish and fund this ES APP FUND, and hope that others will consider becoming APP FUND members to get it started.

Your thoughts, discussions and further ideas/ input into this subject is encouraged.
Thanks Randall.

I will pass this message to our team and see how it goes.

@Randall did you get any traction? Seems like a great idea and now that the APP section seems to be coming along I bet crowdsourcing could apply to updates also!

I was delighted to see that they did Apps but it seemed like performance was a real issue because of the abstraction layer they used on the iOS side. Have you heard something encouraging?

Cheers,
Griffin

I agree, their current version is catastrophic !
But the move to Ionic / Unic Framework is very promising.

They are still working on it. But we are getting impatient.
There are some news at the bottom of this page, in the comments : https://appcarvers.com/blogs/entry/brand-new-designs-for-easysocial-app

In any case, their application designed for EasyBlog is interesting. Just try it.
The design is basic, but loading is very fast !
This gives hope for EasySocial application...

Otherwise there is another way that I recently discovered !!
This is JoomGap SlimApp (Extly.com).

They offer a solution to create a native application from the mobile version of a Joomla website. And there is a Social Integration Pack, compatible with EasySocial and EasyBlog.

In association with the Stackideas Mobile Web Template, it would be fabulous !!
It would add the function of push notifications.

I contacted them, and they said me that their main developer is already in touch with Mark...
