[Meta] We have an app wiki with over 700 apps made by Redditors, and we're looking for help making an App Store out of it!

If you read the sidebar or read the weekly Saturday APPreciation threads, you might have seen a link to our application wiki.

This is a wiki where we only list apps made by confirmed Reddit community members that are active posters and in good-standing (ie. not banned by the admins for whatever reason).

While we haven't updated the rest of our wiki pages (apart from the AMA section), we've been painstakingly ensuring that each and every developer that requests that their app be placed on the wiki has their request seen by one of us. This, despite the fact that Reddit's moderator mail system is still terrible.

But we've been floating an idea around for awhile, and it's to turn our app wiki into an app store.

/r/Android App Store

That's where you, a developer reading this sub, will hopefully come in. I'm no developer, and neither are the rest of our mods. There is no benefit in us doing this, but we thought it would be a great way for users to discover new apps that are made by a Redditor, so we can specifically support the Reddit Android developer community.

Since we have to abide by Reddit's site-wide rules, here are some caveats:

  • We (mods) can't monetize the app. No ad revenue, in-app payments, or initial purchase price should go to the developer of this app.

  • The app should be totally free, including ad-free. This is to support the community on Reddit, and all of the relevant data is hosted on our wiki page.

  • The most we can do for you is to give you Reddit gold (I have enough Play Credit to give you half a year's worth if that's what you want), some neat flair, and a permanent sidebar link to the app's download page (F-Droid, APKMirror, XDA, or wherever else will take it).

If this sounds like a terrible idea, let us know and we'll scrap it. If this sounds like something somebody would be interested in, let us know.

Why are emojis built in at the OS level? Shouldn't it be relatively easy to make them independently upgradeable?

Posted: 02 Sep 2016 02:03 PM PDT

This question actually applies just as much to iOS, but I'm an Android guy, so I figured I would post it here.

One of the features that is often touted for updates to both iOS and Android is new emojis. The standard emoji sets are being updated on a regular basis, so usually by the time an update is due for either of these OSes, there are some changes that need to be included. This has also been a problem for many users who feel "left behind" when their phone doesn't get an update to the latest version (especially on Android), leaving them without some of the newest emojis.

But I don't understand why it has to be this way. Fundamentally, emojis are nothing more than a mapping between a set of specific unicode characters and a set of images. The specific images, of course, are different on different platforms, but (in theory at least) they're all designed to convey the same concepts.

So there's an API built into the OS that takes in Unicode characters and returns an image. That's really all you need for emojis to work. So why can't the implementation be abstracted out? Sure, you can build in a "hook" for the API call at the OS level, and have it reference a built-in standard library of images, but you can also allow for that set of images to be upgraded by installing a library with its own new images. This would allow both Google and Apple to easily update the set of emojis available on their mobile OSes without having to wait for an upgrade to the whole OS. It could even allow for the possibility of third-party emoji sets, for those who don't like the default set provided on their phone.

Am I missing something? Is there some technical reason why this isn't practical? Or is it just not something that Google or Apple have been particularly motivated to do?

PSA: The latest update of Snapseed corrupts your original image.

Posted: 02 Sep 2016 07:20 AM PDT

I don't know how the update was pushed with such a serious bug. Does Google not check before pushing it to the play store?!

The original image looks like it's deleted, and I can't find it anymore.

Check the reviews on the store page for confirmation.

[Discussion] With the worldwide recall of Samsung Galaxy Note 7's, what are those of you who were interested in getting it going to do?

Posted: 02 Sep 2016 08:31 AM PDT

Despite talks of worldwide recall, I signed a contract with my Telco yesterday and ordered a Note 7. Just got a message from the Telco half an hour ago that they will be halting all Note 7 deliveries as per Samsung's request to facilitate the recall.

Now I'm stuck not knowing how long this will take to resolve itself, and if I'm going to be screwed over time-wise by the delay (since my contract only kicks in with the delivery of the phone).

I'm thinking now that a viable option would be to jump ship and just get the S7 Edge instead. Anyone else in a similar position where you're between phones and got hit by the bad news?
