Interesting idea - when I first read the tagline I thought it was a Flippa-like site but only for iOS. Just to make sure I understand - you guys are only selling apps that the Redbeard Team has completed? Or are other iOS developers able to submit their apps to be sold too? Or is that not a goal you had in mind?
@kevinguebert I'm assuming they'll be releasing apps built by themselves first to maintain high quality standards, and once they've figured out a way of QC on other peoples' submissions, then it'll become a true marketplace where other people will dev for the platform and sell on there.
@kevinguebert Thanks Kevin. Yes it's apps developed only by the Redbeard Team at this stage. We've noticed sites that open up to all developers tend to invariably have a real issue with quality and so we'd like to avoid that. We'll have Apps covering a wide category (Social, eCommerce etc) and as long as we're maintaining a good standard I think our customers should have plenty of choice. Btw can I ask what language you would have preferred (Obj-C/Swift) ? We're trying to get a sense of where we should concentrate our efforts.
@ansar That makes complete sense - some people have different patterns, ideas, and development abilities such that it could diminish the quality of what you're offering. Also, if you build your own apps to sell them, if a user buys one of them, uses it, has a positive experience, they would be more likely to buy another because they would already be familiar with your style and how your products work.
As for preferred language - Swift is definitely preferred. Any new project I/the team works on is assumed to be in Swift unless there is a very very solid reason to use Obj-C. The only reason you may need to know Obj-C is doing support or being put on an older application. But, that's just my humble opinion ☺️
@kevinguebert Thanks for the feedback!. My thoughts exactly. And yep this was what we were thinking Re: Swift but just want to be sure we're not going to be excluding a large portion of users if we go Swift only.
Hi All, Maker/Co-Founder here.
Thanks for the Feature @producthunt !!!
We released our Native iOS development framework a few months ago right here on Product Hunt and we had an awesome response with a ton of great feedback: (https://www.producthunt.com/post...)
Thanks to everyone who commented, got in touch and tried out the Framework.
One of the most requested features since then has been for us to provide App source code for complete end to end apps, for users to either learn with full example apps or to help jumpstart their projects.
So today we’re announcing the Redbeard Marketplace as a place where customers can purchase complete end to end native (Obj-C/Swift) apps developed exclusively by the Redbeard Team. We’ll have clones of some of the biggest brands out there so you get to know how an App like Twitter is developed for example.
We’re launching with 2 Apps, Taskeedo (Which is totally FREE) and RBnB, our AirBnB inspired clone that’s available for $149. Use code PHLAUNCH to get a huge 65% OFF the purchase price (Exclusive to the first 150 customers, so hurry!).
@dainiskanopa I think the PH iOS app is pretty slick and I'm sure a lot of new developers out there would love to know how something like this is built. It doesn't necessarily mean they want to launch a competitor but just something that has similar User Experience/ UI. When we were first starting out with iOS dev a long time ago we were always on the hunt for great end to end examples that could help us learn quicker.
