A little celebration: CYaPass in Windows Store
-
I paid my $19 to Microsoft and I successfully got my app vetted and deployed to the Windows Store. Check it out at: www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/cyapass/9pfd82d1z7rw[^] EDIT BTW, it's FREE everywhere. Always $0.00. :thumbsup: More Info As some of you know, I wrote a FOSS (Fully Open Source Software) app which helps users generate passwords. This all started from an article I wrote here at CP : Destroy All Passwords: Never Memorize A Password Again[^] . I've written that app as : 1) PWA (Progressive Web App -- works offline) -- try it in your web browser[^]. 2) Android App[^] (available in Google Play) 3) ElectronJS app[^] (runs on all 3 major platforms (Win10, Linux, MacOS)) 4) Previously as iOS (Swift) -- but iOS gives me pains so I support the web app for iphone, ipad users. Windows Store Version is ElectronJS This is the ElectronJS version released to the Windows Store (it's possible!) and it was an interesting challenge and a bit of a wait for the app to be vetted, but it is finally available in the Windows Store. I just installed it on one of my Win10 machines to test it. Also, the source is fully obtainable at my GitHub: GitHub - raddevus/CYaPass-Electron: The official C'YaPass desktop app built on Electron (runs on Windows, Linux, Mac)[^] Hopefully Not Too Spammy Sounding This may have sounded a bit spammy, but it's all FREE and I use the app every day (and have over 150 sites for passwords in mine) and I honestly just want to share with others so

Congratulations! I didn't have to pay ($19), but my apps aren't free. I guess they account for it by their "take" of what I sell. Are you using the "Partner Center"? It's supposed to show page views, etc.; but I think it died somewhere along the line. The challenge too is to find the best "category" for your app; else you tend to get buried among all the YouTube "how to" apps (and I use the term "app" here very loosely).

I'm not sure. I just saw that they were charging me $19 for setting up my account (before I submitted my app) and I was like, "OK, at least it's not $99 (recurring annually), like Apple and not $25 (one-time payment) like the Google Android dev thing."

I am using Partner Center and I had a real struggle getting my app to be accepted at first. I had skipped some entries and then later the only way to get it to reset was to delete the Language setting (English) and then it came back around and was like, "Ok you need to fill out all the stuff about your app." Before I did that i had one item I couldn't do anything with and it wouldn't let me submit my app. These App Stores are a pain. Googles Android one got me a bit too. Just takes up so much time. The iOS one is the worst of all though. I just checked and I've had 2 installs. ðððð ððĪðĪŠ Here's a snapshot of my data[^]. What apps do you have out there? Links? I will take a look if you provide. :) Categorization And you are right it's difficult to pick a good category. I picked Utilities... and then it wanted me to pick from 2 other choices that made no sense.

I have a few others in the works ... one keeps leading to the other. I keep finding "systems" in everything.
