like, the App Store? Is it just the $99/yr that you object to? Because you could offer some scholarships to promising programmers. The kid already has a Mac, I bet he can talk his parents into a developer account if he's made an awesome app.

No, like apps that don't get approved in the app store. Like some cool springboard replacement, or an ssh client.

FWIW, I have a few ssh clients on my iPhone (Termius, Prompt, iTerminal) that came from the App Store. Termius even offers mosh. Why wouldn't they be approved?

[jedberg]

They didn't used to allow them for some arbitrary reason. It was just an example of something I might want that might not get approved.

When did they not allow SSH apps? I remember using an AppStore SSH app on a first gen iPad about when it came out.

I bought Panic's Prompt for my iPhone 3G. I don't ever recall a time they weren't allowed.

There are an infinite number of apps that can be made that aren’t ‘cool springboard replacements’.

Why is that even remotely important?

[jedberg]

They were just examples or things that won't get approved that I might want to install.
