Marketplace with curatorial selection mobile app templates
We are excited to present our first product update after the re-launch of the market. It was very hard for us to restart the market for a whole week, we caught and fixed bugs and stupids. Now everything is fine and we are ready to roll-out new product features to grow-up sales conversion of mobile app templates.
One of the most important features to grow-up sales templates is to answer the question:
– What am I buying?
– What is inside this product?
For now marketplaces can't solve this problem for buyers and this task swapped to the author's shoulders. But we came up with and implemented a more elegant way to solve this problem.
Now, some application templates will have a switch in which you can see important product files.For example, for Flutter, this is pubspec.yaml - it contains the versions and dependencies that this template uses. So the buyer can understand which version of the flutter he buys and what list of dependencies this product has.
For other product types, code.market can read and show:
– readme.md – will be displayed for all products, in this product's author can publish presentation and documentation.
– pubspeck.yaml – for flutter projects
– package.json – for react native projects
– build.gradl – for android projects
– AndroidManifest.xml – for android projects
– Also, some products has repository size, you can find it in right block under QR code

Most important things about new code.market:
- New catalog with mobile app screens slider. Now you easy check all mobile screens inside the apps directly in catalog or product card.
- Some templates has Live preview mode. Easy to scan-and-instal mobile app directly on android phones
- Improved comment system. Easy to start conversion with author about his template. Feel free to ask what you interested in.
- Some templates has information about package. Switch gallery mode and find pubspec.yaml or readme.md in product card.
- Easy to navigate in to next product. Use prev/next buttons in the product card.
For example we have a biggest flutter mobile app ...

- Large commissions for authors at the start. Author's commission starts at 70% from the first sale.
- No hypocritical product moderation. Publish any product you want and how much you want.
- Search engines love us. Most of the products published on the code.market immediately goes to the Google search results.
- You can withdraw any amount via request. Withdraw at least $ 1. There is a button for this in your personal account.
What is code.market right now? This is a digital marketplace with more than:
- 22 000 + customers

This is a very important step for our team, our customers and authors.
Seven reasons why this is really important.
-
Content is a king. Our customers are thoughtful and sophisticated. Before they buy, they are making hundreds of Google searches. It is very important for us to give them high quality information about products in different formats. Not only product cards, but also in articles and listings of the best digital products. That is why we started a blog and wrote articles.
-
Priority. If content is a king, that is important as a first thing. We have a rule. Determine the importance of features and do the most important ones first. Don't do anything in any sense and spend resources on unimportant things. Blogs and content are important. We did that.
-
Opportunity. More promotion for code.market authors. Any author who publishes a product to marketplaces wants to be listed in an article and have more promotion for his product. As a result, earnings are higher. For us, it is important to give our authors this option. Blogs and articles are some of the growth points where authors can get 3-5% CTR.
-
Analytics. Blogs help us gather more analytical data on what is trendy now and what exactly audience searches are. In the next step we cultivate this data and share it with our authors. In the next step customers find what they are searching for in the shortest time.This is to improve customers' experience.
-
Grow authors' community. The blogging platform attracts new authors. The marketplace model is based on growing two things: customers and authors. It cannot work when they break apart. These two points must grow in sync. Authors love to see their products in blog articles. This motivates them to create more products and improve the quality of products.
-
Grow customers' audiences. New and quality products attract new customers. At the moment, customers have got a wider selection of goods that have grown sales and authors' earnings. In the sync, it makes a win-win paradigm.
-
Availability. For authors, it's much easier to get into our article selection than anywhere else. We need only publish products in our digital marketplace inside one of the categories and add one of the popular tags. Example: Flutter app templates category and WooCommerce tag. And consider that your product is already in our blog. Our blog writing system works amazingly.

Comment
As soon as our pages got into the search engine, we immediately began to receive customers. Now it is happening with us. To date, we have 18,000 registered users on the site. We grow by 100 to 200 new users per day. The next big goal is to hit 100 - 150 sales per day. We estimate that we will reach it in a few months. When search engines index all of our products.

Hi Alex this looks great! What went into building the product? Custom code or did you use other platforms? Thanks!

Hi Jonas, thank you very much.
Please could you clarify what you mean? Did we use a ready-made engine or CMS to make a project or write our custom architecture from scratch?-

Exactly! Curious to understand tech stack you used.

Now we use WordPress as main engine. It' has some reason and rules.
- In project development we use RICE methodology. It help looking cheapest features which bring us maximum of result.
- When you start the new project as developer – you need use technology which you know as widely as possible. For us it's WordPress. In our team more 10 years WP development experience.
- At the same time, we practically do not use WP plugins, everything that we need we write from scratch. We use WordPress as a "naked" framework.
For us it's way to start the project in shortest time.

Our main MVP goal is to satisfy user requests. We understand that we are not amazon yet, users don't come directly to us. We should be displayed where our users are searching for products. So it is about to be more visible in google search. Before a client bought a template, he made from 20 to 150 searches. We don't have any innovations, neural networks or artificial intelligence, but we have a vision that the marketplace should cover basic needs and it is possible to have a choice. The more choice you give the more you see on google search the more sales you have on the marketplace at the first step.
While making MVP we were concentrated on a big quantity of products and on convenient tools for searching and navigation among them. Our main navigation ideas are tags and categories. By combining categories and tags, you can make a more accurate selection for your request.

After quitting from employment, we made several useful in-house start-ups. For more than four years we have been working on clients projects as an agency.
Each time we were delving deep into the client's problems and each time we have been solving them on the highest level. Observing all new successful clients launching we also acquired a desire to make something of our own. So we decided to make code.market. Our dream was to make something like amazon with digital products, the main market place where you can easily buy any digital product: code, assets, neural network templates, complex integration solutions etc. As soon as smart microwaves have their own apps, you will find them on code.market.
Before the launch we broke all possible start-up rules. We didn't do Customer Development research, we did not create a business plan, we didn't count unit economy as well as we didn't count CAGS etc. We simply made a platform that we had in mind as developers. We wanted to make a big international E commerce project, that will help studios, developers and small businesses launch their web projects on operating systems much faster and cheaper.
Actually, we followed one start-up rule: “Find product market fit”. That is why we started with mobile apps templates. Now the mobile apps template market is in its infancy. I know, you might say, what is the reason to make a start-up for the market that almost does not exist. If there is no market now - that doesn't mean it won't exist in the future. There is no market, but there is a common way to make mobile apps. Searching for designers, searching for iOS and Android developers, we all know how it is done. We figured that there is now an opportunity to make mobile apps in a new way. Today we have frameworks for cross platform development such as Flutter, React Native, Ionic. It is an opportunity to make a template just once and solve a problem for thousands of little projects, which don't have an opportunity to order custom development. We are not searching for the blue ocean, we are trying to make usual things in a new way.
Try to use code.market when you need to do mobile app development.

Wish you the best with your market.
You said "Now the mobile apps template market is in its infancy"
really ? what about Envato ? they've been like forever.-

This is a bit confusing, as when I checked out one product on code.market it actually linked to a product on CodeCanyon? I am not sure if authors add items directly on the platform or it just aggregates products from different marketplaces.

@XCS hi dear Cristian. Yes exactly you are right.
While we lounched our project we made automatic system for importing mobile applications from codecanyon. We needed this like a start point in for start generating traffic from this niche.
Now we already have some buying traffic. And now we are working on a system that will give authors the rights to edit their products (on the codemarket), which we pars from the codecanyon. I will write about this system latly at indiehachers.
If you are author you will need only confirm that these are your products and you will automatically become an author (on code.market).
We also have our own system for adding products for authors. Our upload system fastly and more usful than codecaneoyn. 2 minutes and you alrasy start selling.
At the same time, we do not limit the exclusivity of authors and products in any way, sell wherever you want. It seems more humane to us.

Alex, I think this is an great idea. The whole no market thing reminds me of Peter Thiel "Competition is for losers." if you're creating then it's unlikely you'll have any competition. Super inspiring. Going to follow you on here and twitter so I can stay up to date with progress. Keep up with the great work 💪👊

Cool! I'm a bit new to modern JS and React / React Native so maybe sometime I could need a template in order to see how things work and learn faster to implement in an actual project.

Hey @alexignatov I do need help. I have this already existing Expo + React Native app built 2 years ago that might have trouble with the Push Notifications system. I want to update the SDK and at the same time maybe rewrite the entire notifications system. Can you recommend apps on your store that could provide good examples for notifications? I want to understand as much as possible of the Push Notifications "universe" (app, react, expo, apple, google, credentials, backend communication, sending from backoffice, and so on).
