In this episode, we discuss different web3 revenue models. From "Software Licences" in Web1 and "Advertising", "Sass" and "In-App Purchases" revenue models in Web2, we have reached to Web3 where we can experiment with different revenue models that can solve some of the issues with previous ones. As we discuss in this episode, the main enablers for Web3 new revenue models are "Blockchain's Permission-less", "Modular Software Building Model" and "Openness and Decentralized" aspects. With these, experimenting with some revenue models that were impossible in Web1/Web2 for smaller startups and projects now are suddenly possible with the help of this technology. Noting that revenue models have always been evolving and need the right technology, cultural and legal enablers to become standard; so in that sense, we still have lots of experiments to run for Web3 revenue models. Exciting!
In the beginning, Jodel's choice of growth model was selling traditional ad spaces because it was a more effortless and quicker option to scale as a startup.

Today, Jodel's primary revenue stream comes from the combination of In-App Subscription and In-App Purchase of Consumables.

News Items New Jersey toddler Ayaansh Kumar bought nearly $2,000 in Walmart furniture, unbeknownst to his parents https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/01/25/new-jersey-toddler-walmart-cart-online-shopping/ Mother Madhu Kumar shopped for furniture and other household goods but did not actually purchase them Her son Ayaansh (22-months) was playing on her phone and somehow would up in the Walmart app, where he executed the purchases His parents tried to cancel the undelivered orders but were unable to do so They've arranged to return the items (most of them) to Walmart for refunds Parents will install passcodes and prevent the automatic loading of payment info How It Happens This is a problem that has been around since the rise of the world wide web (and probably even before that) A kid with access to a parent credit card could use it online to make purchases, since there are no reliable tools for checking identity online More recently, credit cards are stored by online merchants or in apps, making it much easier for unauthorized purchases to occur So-called “bait apps” aggressively encourage children to make in-app purchases to enhance their playing experience Problem has spread to smart speakers (Alexa, Legal Issues Parents are legally liable for the purchases made by their children when children use their parents' credit cards Credit card companies that promise zero liability for unauthorized purchases may offer refunds but others will only do so if the card is lost or stolen Refunds may be available However, some service providers or game companies may refuse to issue refunds if payment is made through a third-party (the Apple Store, for instance) Refunds may also be denied if you have made your child an authorized user If the online service provider is guilty of fraud or inducements aimed at children, the Federal Trade Commission may order refunds In 2014, the FTC settled a class action lawsuit with Google, Apple, and Amazon, in which all three companies paid millions in refunds.

Jean-François is the co-founder of Purchasely, a company based in Paris that helps apps grow their revenues by streamlining In-App Purchase integration. He is also the CEO and founder of 2 App à Z, a consulting firm specialized on mobile technologies. Jean-François was one of the first 500 developers of the iPhone developer beta program. He’s helped many companies build their first apps, and in 2020 was awarded the worldwide App of the Year.Questions Jean-François Answered in this Episode:Is there a product that you’re most proud of having played a role in developing?What does Purchasely do and why did you start the company?As a developer, when you’re trying to build out the in-app purchases that are involved with an app, how much time does that process take up?Is this a problem that most startups see or does this solve problems for apps of any size?Are you seeing more apps shift to subscriptions? And if so, what kind of apps are you seeing make this move?How does that impact the overall app economy if everything shifts to subscriptions? What might be the limit to how many apps consumers would be willing to subscribe to?Timestamp:2:57 Jean-François’s background6:07 What is Purchasely and why was it created8:12 Why in-app purchases are a pain in the apps10:42 The movement from advertising to subscriptions15:44 Who is shifting to subscriptions and why19:42 Is there a consumer threshold for subscriptions vs adsQuotes:(10:42-10:57) “The world is moving very fast on subscription. Two years ago, the advertising was so high, very few people were considering subscriptions. But, as you’ve seen, there is a drop in the volume and value of advertising. There is also the ATT that is coming in. So, the world of advertising is in trouble right now.”(17:25-17:38) “We had a lot of apps that were ads-oriented and that were playing on the frustration of the users to get money. But the game of subscription is very different. The game of subscription is more a seduction than a frustration.”Mentioned in this Episode:PurchaselyJean-François Grang - LinkedInTwitter - @purchaselycom

Compiler Error 1 - AES, or the American Encryption Standard, is a suite of symmetric block cyphers that was selected as a part of an open process hosted by NIST and the US government from 1997 to 2000 to replace DES. 2 - A one time pad is an early but very robust encryption technique, which can be uncrackable so long as the key on the pad is never re-used, is truly random, is longer than the plaintext, and is kept completely secret. 3 - Symmetric key algorithms use the same cryptographic keys for both encryption and decryption, while asymmetric key algorithms make use of a public key and a private key to encrypt and decrypt information. 4 - Unlike RSA which relies on large prime number factorization, Elliptic-curve cryptography makes use of a given elliptic curve’s geometric and algebraic properties, ultimately providing the same level of security as RSA with smaller keys.

Apple has updated their App Review Guidelines for developers. There's a section that specifically addresses game streaming services.

As you propel yourself along this bouncy world, you won’t let those pesky children have all the fun, all while avoiding the obstacles and staying in the bounce. We spoke to Simon about making his game with a team that is spread between Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane and his inspiration for making the game. You can get Bounce right now on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store There has been a fair bit of outcry this week around lootboxes and in-app purchases, so we explore the shift in the way we spend our money on gaming, and the relatively recent major shift to games as services. Over the last few years we’ve seen a rise in service based platforms and it doesn't seem to show any signs of slowing. Have we seen the end of the traditional one-off purchase?

Jelly walks Ben through the ins and outs of implementing In-App Purchases in your “freemium” or “paymium” apps. IAPs are deceptively annoying to get right, but Jelly covers everything, including you need to do in iTunes Connect, how the StoreKit framework works, and finally, how you validate the receipt to prevent piracy.

Mit Gast Tobias Günther diskutieren wir die Grundlagen von Git, warum Versionskontrolle für jedes Projekt lohnend ist, warum Tower der beste Mac Git-Client ist und hauen dabei ein Haufen Zeug per Gewinnspiel raus. Link zum Bild: Blick ins Cockpit Als Pilot braucht man eines ganz bestimmt: Einen Tower der einem sagt was Sache ist. Deshalb haben wir diese Woche den fournova Chef Tobias Günther zu Gast. Als fournova CEO führt er nämlich einen Tower. Dieser ist zwar nicht für Flugzeuge gedacht, sondern für Git, zeitgleich nutzt er im Cockpit eigentlich nix außer man sitzt am Steuer eines Macs. Im Großen und ganzen passt das also super und deshalb ist Tobias unser Gast und Git-Guru, der zu eben diesem Thema gerne Rede und Antwort steht. Eine Warnung vorab… Patrick’s Tonbandaufnahme ist beim Winken aus dem Fenster gefallen und wurde direkt von der Turbine angesaugt und zerschreddert. Das heißt: 3x mal super Qualität + einmal der Bordanlagenmitschnitt für euch. Denkt euch eine Bestrafung für ihn aus und postet diese. Des weiteren verbürgt sich das komplette Team dafür, dass sowas nie wieder passiert, sollte dem doch irgendwann so ein so regnet es Gratisflüge nach Mallorca im Odenwald als Entschädigung für euch. Das schönste gleich vorab: Heute werden gnadenlos die Goodies rausgehauen, gleich 3 Gewinne werden von Der Ubercast verlost! Lieber Fluggast, wenn dir das Gehörte gefällt oder dir Sorgenfalten auf die edle Stirn fabriziert, dann haben wir etwas für dich: iTunes Bewertungen. Überbleibsel – Overcast unter Feuer Das Follow-up fängt gut an, denn nach einer zweiwöchigen Overcast Testphase müssen wohl einige der Piloten ihre Meinung kund tun. Die Nörgelfraktion wird angeführt von Andreas, der sein Trilliarden an Podcastfeeds nicht gescheit per OPML-Datei importiert bekommen hat. Als altgedienter Podcaster hat er dann in den sauren Apfel gebissen und manuell mal einen Feed hinzugefügt. Kurz um, die Menüführung und auch das Abspielen hat ihm überhaupt nicht gefallen. De facto konnte sich Andreas auch nicht dazu durchringen, die Extrafeatures der App für bare Münze zu erwerben oder Overcast auch nur länger als ein paar Tage zu nutzen. Der Retter in der schillernden Rüstung naht, mit dem Mikrofon als Schwerte in seiner Faust gereckt, stürzt sich aber sogleich auf den bösen bayrischen Drachen und lässt folgendes verlauten. Sven F. aus S.: Ehrlich? Also ich hab’ mich da wohl, muss ich sagen, wirklich mit angefreundet. Hab’ auch den Button gedrückt - 4,99 für die In-App-Purchases. Ja, … und hör da eben jetzt ganz fleißig. Sven Fechner Gast Tobias ist vorbildlich, er verplempert seine Zeit nicht mit Podcasts. Wenn er das tut, dann hört er n-a-t-ü-r-l-i-c-h Der Übercast; und das ganz genussvoll mit der Pilotenmütze aus unserem Fanshop auf dem Kopf… ach ja, … und ein paar Sachen von 5by5. Dazu reicht ihm dann auch Apples Podcast App. Gewohnheitstier Patrick mosert immer noch wie letzte Woche darüber das er Pocket Casts Grid Ansicht stark vermisst. Im Gegensatz zu Andreas hat er aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach weniger Podcasts im Abo, denn bei im ging der Import reibungslos. Hinzu kommt aber, dass er wie sein Co-Pilot die UI nicht sehr schlüssig findet und das navigieren in dieser ihm doch recht schwer fällt. Als wenig Intuitiv empfindet er zum Beispiel auch die Menüleiste ganz oben (Settings, Downloads, Playlists, Hinzügen). Was aber der Hit ist, sei die Smart Speed Funktion, welche die Sprechpausen kürzt und somit Zeit spart beim Anhören ohne wie eine Jauchefarm zu klingen. Deshalb, und alleine deshalb, nutzt Patrick seitdem Overcast als seinen Podcast-Player (Pssst, Patrick. Pocket Casts arbeitet auch schon an einer Alternative). Smart-Boost interessiert ihn nicht, wobei das Feature wohl nach Olli aus England (Freund von Andreas) ganz praktisch sein soll, da das Zeug was Olli sich durch die Ohren zieht wohl nicht ganz astrein mit Stahlmantel um’s Micro produziert ist. Halten wir fest: Tobias ist zufrieden mit der Apple App; Sven war noch Jungfrau, da er bisher nur ge-Appel-podcasthört hat ((Anmerkung der Redaktion: Bitte noch einmal den Link zum Fanshop klicken an dieser Stelle)); Andreas ist “not amused” und Patrick wird zum hören gezwungen dank eines Alleinstellungsmerkmals. So, falls ihr uns als Leitwolf was Podcastapp-Empfehlungen angeht angesehen habt, der euch jetzt die Absolution zum Geld rausfeuern gibt, weit gefehlt. Ich verweise an dieser Stelle mal auf einen Auszug aus unserer “Über Über” Seite: »Ehrlich gesagt weiß Der Übercast das alles auch nicht so genau, was Andreas, Patrick und Sven allerdings kein bisschen davon abhält diese Themen zu diskutieren.« Nichtsdestotrotz ist Overcast ein sehr solider und populärer Podcast-Client mit mehreren Features die es so nirgendwo anders im Moment gibt. Besonders das hören (und syncen der Position) über die Webapp gefällt Patrick noch sehr gut, da es in seinen Hörflow passt (und er sich das nun sparen kann), Smart Speed und Voice Boost sind ebenso nützlich und die Entdecker- & Empfehlungsfunktion (brought to you by Twitter) ist schlichtweg Klasse. Marco Arment ist zudem ein fleißiges Bienlein und hat wohl mittlerweile auch den OPML-Import für solche Horter wie Andreas gefixt. Als fairer und sympathischer Typ hat er auch die besten Podcast-Clients für iOS in seiner App aufgelistet, falls einem nach dem Gratisdownload die App so wirklich rein gar nicht zusagt. Wir ziehen auf jeden Fall den Hut. Überschallneuigkeiten Die Macbook Air Sticker Ad löst Gefühlsausbrüche bei Sven aus und er hört den Soundtrack nun wohl jeden Morgen auf dem Weg zur Arbeit. Deshalb will er auch gleich wissen, wer Sticker auf seinem MacBook hat. Gast Tobias ist nackt unterwegs… was uns die Sprache verschlägt und voll in ein Luftloch steuern lässt: Link zum Bild: Fotomontage zum Thema “Tobias sein MacBook ist nackt… also ohne Sticker”. Die einzigen Sticker die Patrick für sein Ex-MacBook gesammelt hat befanden sich in einem Evernote-Notebook. Die Idee an sich fand er nicht verkehrt, wollte aber alles komplett bedeckt haben und bis er genügend Material angesammelt hatte, war sein MacBook schon verkauft. Andreas glänzt mit dieser Kombination: Link zum Bild: Ganz rechts das bitte. … was im Klartext heißt: Ableton Live, Reason, Apfeltalk, Producer’s Conference (Reason), Weiss nicht (Traktor von NI?), Pustefix, GitHub, NSBrief, Reason Channel Strip. Alle Sticker aus der Werbung findet ihr in diesem Sammelpost von TUAW. Die meisten der gezeigten Sticker und Decals findet ihr auf Etsy kostengünstig. Viele davon sind auch in Deutschland erhältlich. Und wer noch wirklich gute, geile, gemeine Stickerempfehlungen hat schickt die Bitte an flugdeck@derubercast.com oder zwitschert die uns direkt ins Ohr. Wer es noch nicht mitbekommen hat, die Yosemite Public Beta ist gestartet. Wer uns auf Twitter folgt hat vielleicht mitbekommen, dass Andreas und Patrick ab und zu schuldbewusst über Probleme fluchen. Im großen und ganzen läuft der Karren aber schon recht gescheit. Sven empfiehlt nochmals allen Neugierigen vorher ein Backup zu machen oder Yosemite von einer Zweitpartition aus zu booten. Andreas führt auch geradewegs noch einmal eine große Leidklage an: Zum Zeitpunkt unserer Aufnahme ist Audio Hijack Pro noch nicht kompatibel mit OS 10.10. Hier ist jedoch ein erneuter Blick hinter die Kulissen nötig, um diese Sendung komplett zu (ent)würdigen. Patrick betrauert das natürlich genauso, kurz nach der letzten Sendung hat er upgedatet und ein paar Tage später nachgeschaut, ob sich bei Rogue Amoeba was getan hat in Punkto Kompatibilität. Geistesabwesend wie die zwei Bruchpiloten sind, hat aber keiner von Ihnen gecheckt, dass 3-4 Tage vor dem Aufnahmetermin ein entsprechendes Update zur Verfügung stand. Beide nehmen mit QuickTime auf und den Rest vom Lied kennt ihr. Patricks Aufnahme crasht und ist unwiederbringlich verloren (normal gibt’s da ein paar Tricks… aber in einer Beta gelten nun einmal andere Regel. Unwiderruflich!). Also be aware of betas! … oder schneidet wie obiges leidgeplagte Opfer einen halben Tag lang eine Backupspur die “eh nix klingt” und versucht es euren Hörer als Bordanlage unterzujubeln. (Anmerkung der Redaktion: Sorry du, passiert nüscht widahr). Und ja… Audio Hijack ist so steil, dass das damit nicht passiert wäre (da es die Spur live, direkt blank und ohne Präser auf die Platte schreibt – also keine Angst vor nächster Woche, Sven). Podcaster? Audio Hijack Pro kaufen! Im Zeichen dieser Sendung soll ebenfalls nicht unerwähnt bleiben, dass Tower bereits jetzt schon Yosemite kompatibel ist. Mehr news, news, news: Shawn Blancs multimediales Buch “Delight is in the Details” ist in einer neuen Version verfügbar und zwei Exemplare werden bei uns verlost. Mehr dazu gegen Ende dieses Artikels. Together, der beliebte lokale Evernote Ersatz ist nun auch für iOS verfügbar. Es soll zwar noch ein wenig Probleme geben mit dem iCloud-Sync, aber Entwickler Steve Harris setzt alles daran, dass es bald richtig flüssig läuft und hat schon 2 Updates seit der Aufnahme rausgeprügelt. Patrick nutzt die App schon seit geraumer Zeit auf seinem Mac - Weshalb alles folgende eine reine Mac Sicht der Dinge ist - und das Together Archiv befindet sich in seiner Dropbox. Der Aufgabenbereich von Together umfasst bei ihm lediglich die Themen Design und Inspiration – es wird also nicht als all-in basket benutzt. Das beste Feature, die Tag-Bundle-Gruppen, verschweigt er in gewohnter Manier, aber… Show Notes Lesen wissen mehr. Also, ihr legt zum Beispiel fest, dass alles was im Ordner “Webseiten Inspiration” gleichzeitig mit vier Tags (website, inspiration, webdesign, ubercast) versehen werden soll. Beim nächsten Start von Together wird alles automatisch getaggt. Klar… geht auch mit Hazel, aber Together kanns’ halt auch und man muss kein Genie sein um die Funktion zu nutzen. Dateien in solche Buckets schieben geht auch ganz leicht, denn Together kommt mit einer Desktoperweiterung (ein “Shelf”). Bewegt ihr die Maus an den Bildschirmrand, könnt ihr dort in den Ordner eurer Wahl die Datei oder den Link ablegen. Beide Versionen sind 50% günstiger für einen Monat (also bis ca. zum 23.08.2014) – Tags syncen sich von Device zu Device: App Store 17,99 € iTunes App Store 8,99 € (ohne Gewähr, wie in der Show besprochen nutzt unser Pilot nur die Direktversion der Mac App) FiftyThree, die Macher von Papers und dem Pencil haben nun eine SDK zu ihrem Stylus nachgeliefert auf das in Zukunft Drittanbieter auf die erweiterten Funktionen zugreifen können. Git Tobias gibt uns eine kleine Einführung in Git und schafft auch gleich das große Missverständnis aus der Welt dem Neueinsteiger gerne auf den Leim gehen: Git ≠ GitHub. Letzteres ist nur ein Ort an dem eure Git Repositories lagern und dort von allen Teammitgliedern genutzt und weiterverteilt werden können. Git an sich ist ein modernes, dezentrales Versionskontrollsystem, welches sowohl lokal im kleinen Rahmen genutzt werden kann, aber auch von Riesenprojekte wie jQuery, Ruby on Rails, etc. verwenden Git. Tobias nennt uns seine Beweggründe, warum er Git als zukunftssicher ansieht und was ihn begeistert im Vergleich zu den Alternativen. Es wird schnell klar das fournova Missionare sind was Git angeht. Auf ihrer Webseite findet man kostenloses Material für Einsteiger und Fortgeschrittene, unter anderem Lernvideos, eine Online Lernplattform und ein Ebook. Was ist Git? Eine kurze Übersicht Patrick fasst die Basics zusammen in seinem Lieblingsformat, einer Liste: History/Verlauf-Tracking und Sicherung = Nichts geht verloren Schnappschüsse von momentanen Dateien zu ausgewähltem Zeitpunkt. Ein Sammlung and Dateien und deren Verlauf wird gespeichert in einem Repository. Distributionsbeispiel/Teamworking Zentrales (online) Haupt-Repository Lokale Repositories 1, 2 und 3 der drei Teammitglieder Erstellen von Branches/Zweige, z.B. Webseite neue Navigation oder auch nur Textänderungen in der “Über uns” Seite. Zusammenführen von Änderungen wieder zurück ins Hauptrepository. Commandline oder GUI Hier wird es wieder interessant, denn Tobias ist der Kommandozeile, also “dem Terminal” gar nicht so zugetan wie man vielleicht annehmen mag. fournova wollte Git einsetzen in einer Zeit, wo es noch keine grafisches Userinterface für Git gab. Schon früh wünschte er sich eine simpel zu bedienende Lösung mit grafischer Benutzeroberfläche, um die Kraft die Git innehält per Maus und mit übersichtlicherer Informationsdarstellung zu bewältigen. Das war der Stein des Anstoßes und wenig später wurde Tower geboren. Tobias gewährt Einblicke hinter die Kulissen seiner Softwareschmiede und der geneigte Hörer bekommt am eigenen Ohr zu spüren was so alles geölt werden muss, dass ein Unternehmen in der Softwarebranche reibungslos läuft. Wie lerne ich das? Die wichtigsten und schönsten Git-Befehle gibt euch Andreas mit auf den Weg. Patrick rät dazu am Anfang möglichst klein anzufangen und nur die Git Basics zu lernen. Also in der Kommandozeile mal ein Repository erstellen, lernen wie man einen commit macht, klont, etc. Ja nicht mehr. Nur kleine Babyschritte. Am besten indem man dies in ein eigenes kleines Projekt einbindet und dort alle wichtigen Änderungen per commit festhält. Das wichtigste ist, dass man keine Angst vor Fehlern haben muss, da so gut wie nie etwas gelöscht wird von Git. Alle diese kleinen Weisheiten und mehr findet ihr auch auf SixRevisions. Dort wartet ein kleiner und feiner Artikel von Tobias in welchem er 7 Tipps für Einsteiger aufzählt. Dort bringt er auch das Konzept an sich näher und zeigt auf was es zu verstehen gibt um durchzustarten. Patrick hat quasi nach dieser Anleitung angefangen Git zu lernen und ist dann nach einem längeren Client-Vergleich in der Tat bei Tobias seinem Produkt, Tower, gelandet. Denn mit dieser GUI konnte er dann auch problematischere Dinge lösen, wie zum Beispiel das wiederherstellen eines bestimmten Stückchen Codes aus einer alter Revision. Wofür brauche ich das? Halten wir die Erkenntnisse aus allem Vorangegangen fest, merken wir, Gits Versionskontrolle zu nutzen kann einfacher sein als man zunächst denkt. Mann muss nur daran denken es zu nutzen. Wenn man das verinnerlicht hat, dann kann man eine weite Bandbreite an Möglichkeiten ausschöpfen, ob man nun einen Aufsatz schreibt, ein Buch, seine kleine Webseite zusammenschustert oder große Webprojekte zusammen mit einem Team meistern will.
