I’ve increased the audience for Reenact (an app for reenacting photos) by 100,000% by porting it from Firefox OS to Android.
It took me about ten evenings to go from “I don’t even know what language Android apps are written in” to submitting the .apk to the Google PlayTM store. I’d like to thank Stack Overflow, the Android developer docs, and Android Studio’s autocomplete.
Reenact for Android, like Reenact for Firefox OS, is open-source; the complete source for both apps is available on GitHub. Also like the Firefox OS app, Reenact for Android is free and ad-free. Just think: if even just 10% of all 1 billion Android users install Reenact, I’d have $0!
In addition to making Reenact available on Android, I’ve launched Reenact.me, a home for the app. If you try out Reenact, send your photo to gallery@reenact.me to get it included in the photo gallery on Reenact.me.
You can install Reenact on Google Play or directly from Reenact.me. Try it out and let me know how it works on your device!
You should at least charge 99 cents. fund a family vacation :)
With some luck, I could fund a family vacation to the dollar store by next Christmas.
Even if the source-code is available, you’ve not licensed the code. Once you’ve sorted that out, you should also list your app on F-Droid — the open-source app marketplace for Android.
