As mobile & web full stack dev, i always look for the best tools to publish and maintain the apps i've built.
And let me tell you how you can now use this tool to publish a freemium hybrid app in 10 minutes with this tool.
Why have I chosen this solution ?
- I love Ionic (especially their css and integration tools), but you then need to pay for a cloud solution that can't manage my users.
- I want to involve my free users (for free) and then make them pay on premium features
- miapp.io provide a generator, out of the box : angular.js, ionic, cordova mobile app
- it's free :)
That's why i've chosen this open and free platform for my first (very important) users and i know that, if needed, I can also freely manage my premium users ...
In three steps :
First : register your app
and get your app ID and salt
Second : create your app with yeoman
Requirements :
As web/mobile dev, You should be familiar with node.js, gulp, ionic etc ...
I've done a gist to help check your config https://gist.github.com/mlefree/2156f66dfb441f107bef157dde56a836
Then you're ready !
npm install -g generator-miappio
|
and in your new project directory
yo miappio
|
Just answer a few questions, all done !
ls -al
|
As you can see, all done and ready to use;
Want to check your tests
npm test
|
and start your new app in your favorite android device :
npm run android
|
Third - Publish
... and that's it, you’re done!
After signup, you could now see/manage your users on miapp.io app page (role etc ...)
That's it :-) ..
If you need to go further :
- Links : https://miapp.io & https://github.com/miappio
- The generator, if you don't have yest your app : https://www.npmjs.com/package/generator-miappio
- The SDK, if you already add your hybride app : https://github.com/miappio/miappio-sdk
- Some app built :
One last point, the project is open. it's evolving with many features in the backlog (ie #ContributorsWelcome?!).
Enjoy App Heroes !!
