Homebrew DownloadMii - A Homebrew Online Marketplace

OMG.
Shut and take my money hurray !

I could definitely help with the web part of this, have you decided on a language yet?

If using PHP I would strongly recommend picking a framework, I'd suggest Silex or something similar. In particular because Silex allows you to get started quickly but keeps things clean and organized, and being based on Symfony makes it much simpler to scale up if needed in the future.

It's first to the project! If you feel like using PHP go for it I will later today write a TODO issue on GitHub you/I know what to do.

PS. I don't know PHP as I hate it, but there is a lot of developers out there



BTW, JoostinOnline I don't have enough money to support this project if it gets too big, so any donations from anybody is helpful(BTW, they would first of all go to found a new 3DS for me, then the webhost (need a console to test the app on))

Then a jet ski, then a yellow Bentley.

On a serious note, I've put a couple hundred dollars into hardware and software for the homebrew I develop, and I've gotten a total of $33 over a span of 3 years. I'm just saying that it might not payout the way you hope.

This is a great idea. But how do you plan to keep bandwidth costs down? I can't think of any third party hosts that would allow downloading without interacting with either a captcha or at least a timer, and self-hosting can get expensive if it picks up steam

But def this is a HUGE step in the right direction to get people to want to be involved in homebrew.

the brew can all be hosted at another host, like cydia has its own host but then everything is stored on repos and the same could be done here, by developers having their own repos with their brew all nicely organised, you could find brew by the developers name, and as OP said he'll have admins to authorise things so if a new dev is to be added then they can give the okay if their repo can be added.

Getting started on the UI, I bet that we can have a early working prototype in the end of the week
(translation from dev language: end of the week = when I feel like developing (joke))

People like smooth and shiny, not blockly and dull. Did you learn nothing from the Windows 8 response?

 

[ResleyZ]

This'll be very interesting, can't wait to see this working in the future!

Umm... im following Android 5.0's design language just look at your fartapp app store

Btw, don't want to start any flame wars but people who dislike 8 just cant crop with changes even if it they are great

filfat it looks like Sense 6!

You may attract more (good) developers if you choose a different language, like Python or Ruby, along with a web framework that either includes an ORM or can work with an existing ORM.

I'm not saying amazing things can't be made with PHP, but it is significantly rarer for large-scale things to be written in PHP.

Going to say this from looking into many companies in my area. They usually use .NET or PHP around here at some fairly large companies.

I myself use PHP a lot, and if all you really need is some JSON decoding that is super easy to do and make a database for securely in PHP for most reasonable developers. Bar camp for the win!

If no one has responded in a reasonable time, I can probably make it... but it might take a little while as I just bought a new house that I am fixing up, but have lots of premade stuff for PHP and MySQL to keep client costs down, and it would be fun to do something different.

Which we both know is an unpopular rip-off of the Modern UI.

That would be most people. You're not making this app just for you, it's for everyone. So why not use a style that almost everyone likes? It's not about being in a war, it's about being realistic.
Blocky and dull

Smooth and shiny

That looks brilliant!

There are some people (like filfat) who dislike the style I used. And that's absolutely fine, to each their own. That's not the majority, though. My point is that if you're making a product for other people, use what will be most popular.

Or make allow users to change the look.

Thats the "old" style(Remember iOS 3/4? Yeah that's the style you just did), all mobile oses is moving away from it, Android iOS and Windows Phone which im trying to folow.
Here is the design language in currently following(as best as I can): http://www.google.com/design/spec/material-design/introduction.html

This isn't a phone. And people like that "old" style, as you call it.

It's fine to like the blocky and dull style. Just stop deluding yourself into thinking that most people like it.

Since i'm writing from an Android Lollipop (with Material Design) phone, i'm really happy for that!

stop bashing.....i dont really care what it looks like, as long as it works pretty sure its all going to be opensource so anything you don't like your free to change as you see fit
