Publishing on AppWow
AppWow is designed to support Instant App developers who build focused, web-based applications using modern standards such as PWAs.
The platform favours:
- Clear purpose
- Fast load times
- Privacy-respecting design
- Real-world utility
This is not a volume marketplace. It is a curated environment.
How AppWow Is Different
Traditional app stores act as gatekeepers.
They impose:
- Complex submission processes
- Revenue extraction models
- Algorithmic visibility controls
AppWow takes a different approach.
It is built as a discovery and visibility layer, not a distribution choke point. Developers retain ownership, control, and independence.
Instant Apps vs Native Apps (High Level)
Instant Apps:
- Run directly in the browser
- Work across devices
- Update instantly
- Require no installation
Native apps:
- Require downloads
- Are tied to platforms
- Add friction for users
AppWow exists because Instant Apps are now mature enough to stand on their own.
Roadmap (Informational Only)
Future phases of AppWow will introduce:
- Structured submission workflows
- Developer analytics
- Optional monetisation support
These features are not active yet and are intentionally staged to preserve platform quality and trust.
