An chuid is mó éiceachórais nós siopaí app ceachtar oscailt nó feighlithe. Ach ní féidir cén fáth go bhfuil muid araon? Bhuel, is féidir linn — Tá gach ní mór duit na trí briathra: a fhoilsiú, aimsiú, agus cosúil le. A théann le haghaidh teicneolaíocht agus aon ní eile.
De ghnáth, tá dhá rogha nuair is mian leat app a fhoilsiú: sé a fhoilsiú le rud éigin cosúil leis an iOS App Store (i gcás ina mbeidh daoine teacht ar do app, ach is féidir léirmheastóirí Apple dhiúltú d'aighneacht) nó díreach é a chur ar do láithreán gréasáin (i gcás ina bhfuil sé éasca a fhoilsiú, ach ní bheidh aon duine ar bith ráthaíocht é a fheiceáil.) Not the greatest set of options.
Isn’t there a way to combine the strengths of both of these to make for the best possible experience for both publishers and consumers? I think there is. It’s called an open and curated ecosystem. Let’s take a look at:
- What open agus curated ecosystems are
- Examples of open and curated ecosystems
- What you need to make an open and curated ecosystem
- Examples of these ecosystems beyond just technology
and see if we can discover something about the power of crowdsourcing, innovation, and the three verbs a fhoilsiú, aimsiú, agus cosúil le.
Curated vs. open ecosystems
The iOS App Store and open internet, among others, are app ecosystems — places where apps can be published and found. And I think the big factors that differentiate one ecosystem from another are whether the ecosystem is open, where anyone can publish apps and whether it is curated, where the best apps rise to the top and users are assured quality apps. That’s the major difference between the iOS store and the internet at large, which I mentioned earlier.
Let’s look at examples of curated and open ecosystems and what differentiates them.
