I'm confused for years there have been a large collection of 1-click options when logged in. It says here WordPress for instance is New but that has been there forever. Can someone explain how Marketplace currently is different than the 1 click options we have long already have? The main issue has been with WordPress which I imagine is your most popular 1 click option is that it runs on LAMP rather than LEMP (the more modern recommended option). Does this "new" version resolve that? Or am I missing something?

> We’ve had a WordPress stack at DigitalOcean for a long time and it’s tremendously popular – and now we've opened our platform up so partners can bring their 1-Click Apps to all our users through the Marketplace. Openlitespeed has a new WordPress stack too, and we’re also happy to have ideas for changes and new things on ideas.digitalocean.com

They deprecated a bunch of one-click apps: https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/marketplace/deprecated/

This looks like the next iteration of the concept.

This is like aws marketplace where vendors can make images instead of digital ocean making images

That what I was thinking, but they feature ones created by DO there and even label as new for instance for WordPress, so was wondering what was new about the WordPress one click option for instance since already exists.

I assume the difference is that people will be able to delf-deploy their apps to the marketplace. Think of it as an analog to "PPAs" for Ubuntu repositories.
