Thast why i would never rely on closed platform.
I will never waste my resource in build apps that solely rely on closed commercial entities like facebook, apple. If they choose to ban/block/delete you then all of your hard-work is gone in a second and will leave your users unhappy.
and this can happen to any of us
- Luyt 15y agoEspecially if your app was offering something that Facebook plans to launch itself if a few days. Basically you've been doing marketing research for them. When you're not longer needed, they kick you out.
- ryanisinallofus 15y agoIs your site just future feature of Google? They provide us with 80% of our traffic and have launched features that directly compete with us. It doesn't only happen on "closed" platforms.
- mpunaskar 15y agoTrue, It can happen on any platform, but at least you will get time to improve your app + add new features + fight with biggies while they are trying to copy from you. On facebook and Apple they will just kill your app in a day.
- ryanisinallofus 15y agoGoogle could drop you from results, but yeah I get your point.
- rick888 15y agobut you can still get people to your site through any means (not just Google). If you build a Facebook or Twitter app, and either of those companies compete with you, change their apis, ban you, your company is pretty much finished. This is why I don't waste any time writing those kind of apps.
