Omega Bundle thought

I would certainly appreciate more sales through Xojo web store.

I never even knew the following page existed:
Add Ons Link

I presume this page is only for a select few to advertise on, as it is never mentioned anywhere!

Incorrect as it’s not advertising, per se. When a product is purchased through the web store, we get notification and we fulfill the order. Xojo takes a cut and at the end of the month we get a payment from Xojo. It’s really available to anyone that agrees to Xojo’s sales agreement.

It seems that most people do bundles through Xojo. They’ll buy Xojo and then some add ons. This may, or may not be, mostly business that’s do a single purchase requisition.

Thanks for the info Bob.

[quote=165166:@Markus Winter]Ah, Bob, beat me to it.

And I would like to point out that Bob and Christian have excellent user support.[/quote]
Christian spent pretty much all day answering questions from me today as I have up to date plugin support. Bob and Christian’s support are completely worth the investment and today was proof.

+10

I have both MBS and Einhugur plugins and these guys are really giving top notch support.

I get really frustrated with Christian because he doesn’t answer my questions before I even think of them. Since he often thinks of the features I’ll need before I ask, I figure he should guess my questions :stuck_out_tongue: .

Seriously, though, of all the platforms and development tools that my company pays for (some of them exorbitantly expensive), the Xojo ecosystem is THE most cost effective and responsive. Even with all of the grouchiness that crops up over “this feature” or “that bug”, you guys all contribute to my sanity day after day. If I depended on some of the other vendor environments like I do the Xojo environment, I would have started selling used cars and playing guitar on the street corner before I would see the same level of responsiveness from them.

Christian Schmitz is one of the big reasons i’m even interested in programming. When i first got started i found his plugin and began picking his brain trying to resolve issues with my projects. I was a teenager at the time and I doubt he remembers, but i used to instant message him several times a day for weeks, lol. I can not say enough good things about Christian. I wish billions of dollars to rain down upon him =).

Edit: Yes he still used that same profile picture some 15 years ago now, lol.

That’s cheating! I update mine daily!

:wink:

I thought it was just Richard that did that.

Well… even the slickest store doesn’t change the fact that these products aren’t 99 cents. Price will always be a barrier. The problem with the Xojo ecosystem is its size. It’s not big enough to support a thriving 3rd party market yet.

Why are my ears burning - is someone (TIM) talking about me again ;(

True it’s not 99 cents and will never be as lucrative as most stores, but it doesn’t change the fact that the store will at the very least gather all the products in one place to be easily discovered by the entire user base.

There is no doubt in my mind that there is some sweet Xojo tools out there that I don’t know about. On top of that I have to remember where to look again if I ever did find it. One place to find them all , download, update, and purchase just makes sense.

So can we close OmegaBundle in three days? Everyone made his order?

Nope.

I’m still agonizing over it. I’m mostly a hobbyist but have visions of making millions (yeah right) in the MAS someday. I don’t have a use for all of the plugins offered but by the time you add up the cost of the ones I will definitely need for MAS (App wrapper,retina kit, sandbox kit) and the ones I could use for some projects (Einhugur, maybe chart director) its worth it to me. Especially for the amount of time saved. It comes down will I ever get enough finished projects for MAS to make these tools worthwhile? I do a lot of tinkering but jump from project to project so things don’t always get finished. Now, IF the monkeybread plugin set was included, I’d buy it right now. Hint… hint… :slight_smile:

My big worry, and I know this has already been discussed, is if/when Xojo goes 64 bit this year, will all these plugins be updated in time or will I have to shell out big bucks next year to renew them? I don’t blame the developers on this one, this is all at the mercy of Xojo’s time table.

If anyone has a Add-On they are interested in selling though our Third Party Store please email me. There is a approval process but we want to grow the store and include any add-ons that are helpful to the community.

Or her order?

actually I had hers there, but removed it. Sorry.

:slight_smile: No problem! You can use “their order” and include everyone- I know pronouns can be so tricky when translated!
