Hi fellow developers,
I'd like to have your humble opinion on a new product we have just launched called Kudos.
Developing a cool weather app ( https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/good...0l3Vy&ct=vb_ac?at=10l3Vy ) that was featured on the store within 5 days (kudos!!!), we really did not want to place ads and mess the entire user experience.
Nevertheless one needs to make a living, so we decided to turn to our most engaged users who played with the app on a daily basis and ask them nicely to "buy us with a cup of coffee" as a gesture of gratitude and appreciation.
As it turns out... we have got milions of coffee cups that helped us to expand our studio and kept us awake at nights.
Thrilled by the idea of getting kudos from your user we have developed a platform (Kudos-kit.com) that helps developers to translate their user's love into meaningful actions like social distribution gestures ("share" "tweet" "rate" and more) or money contribution. The platform identifies the level of engagement of a user and decide when and what message to show him. The results are overall better experience for the users and significant increase in social distribution gestures and money contributions to developers.
We really believe this can be an alternative models for those among us who are not willing to compromise their user experience but still want to earn a decent living.
I would love to get your feedback on this.
