first I do agree we need to be able to easily share package like any other Wix asset (website) so that team members can contribute and install company packages.
I can see the need for a Velo package market. I develop packages pretty much for all my projects. But this is only for my usage only, so this isn’t as valuable as it could be. I bet many of us have created the same packages. If we could share premium and free package that would be great!
Velo packages are different from npm package because I can tailor them for my business needs (cough fixing Wix issue cough) and process. I see npm package at low level tool and Velo package as high level tools. They are opinionated and build to work hand to hand with Wix platform
@shantanukumar847 sharing and transforming those internal package into public ones requires extra work (documentation, example) as well as support (maintenance, help). So even if I’m willing to share my hard work (package logic) for free, it would still cost me time and resource to share it with the community.
It can be done for small package with a few function but not for larger package with high quality content.
For instance you developed a SEO metatags generator that I need for one of my project. I could develop the same functionality in 10 hours but I would rather pay you to save on development time.
Wordpress has tones of premium products. Even if you can develop them, does not me you have the time or the resource to do so. Buying modules from a source you can trust (Velo packages vetted by Wix) would improve the community and the quality of our work
