What I meant by Marketplace is also a UI to explore packages. Like NPM package UI similar UI can be created for a small Marketplace (I just say Marketplace you can find better name xd) and users can share their packages for free or paid like I said.
Here are some features that I would want to see in a marketplace like that:
-
Star based reviews.
-
Download amount of the package.
-
Documentation needed for all package (user can see documentation before download and install it so if there is no documentation we can skip this package)
-
Share URL for all package (so we can directly send packages to anyone) maybe not URL or something similar.
-
All versions (ofc xd)
-
Is source code visible? (Creator of packages should be able to set if other users can see source code or not and before we download it we will be able to see “this is opensource” or not)
Just some ideas…
About selling packages I don’t think so someone will gonna make more than 500€/m so I agree with what you or anyone said but giving the option so sell it is not bad I guess.
