When I decided to start AviatorApps I chose to launch the site as a simple list under the premise that it was better to launch something minimal, then iterate and enhance it based on user feedback. After all, this is a web site and it’s not like it has to be perfect right out of the gate.
With this in mind, I thought I would take a moment to tell you about some of the features and enhancements that are currently on the to-do list.
- Further design tweaks and usability enhancements
- Web Apps / Sites list
- App list filtering (e.g. show apps from developer X only)
- Home Screen icon for the iPhone
- User submitted site banners
- Categorization of apps
- App ratings and reviews
- Pagination of the Apps List (e.g. display 50, 100, all)
- App details page (a page for each app)
- Contests and giveaways… Yes, free apps!
- Discussion forums
- Developer’s resources (hosted web sites and support forums)
- Mobile site tailored for the iPhone
None of these are set in stone and no priority is implied, but if you’ve got additional ideas or suggestions feel free to comment here or you may use the contact form if you would like to send me a note privately.
It would be nice if you could consider listing apps for other mobile platforms, such as Android.
Brent, thanks for your comments. I wrote about this in a post a few months ago.
