MAZ Advisor, Arie Abecassis, On The State Of App Discovery And How To Fix It →

mazdigital:

What if an app developer could build a relationship with users much closer to the point of app creation? What if there were platforms designed to allow developers and consumers to collaborate very early in the creative process by providing consumers with a “vote” on the direction and potential success of apps.

[…]

Earlier collaboration could translate into earlier engagement and earlier engagement could result in earlier user support and adoption. That could change the economics of customer acquisition and start shifting a little of the balance of power back to the development community.

And what if this already existed with Arie’s AppStori? Oh wait, it does!

When you live in a poor neighborhood, you are living in an area where you have to have poor schools. When you have poor schools, you have poor teachers. When you have poor teachers, you get a poor education. When you get a poor education, you can only work in a poor-paying job. And that poor-paying job enables you to live again in a poor neighborhood. So, it’s a very vicious cycle.
