Developing and selling web apps listed on apple web apps and equivalents such as android, windows etc [closed]

Do i need to pay a developer's fee of 99$ per annum if i want to list my web app on the apple web app store, or any other place for that matter (android etc.)?





Can i ask user to come and pay for new features on my site through this web app? will I be breaching some archaic policy by doing that?





This web app is complete on its own but user might want to have extra features which come at a price of course!





Which merchant is the best for my basic needs. paypal comes to mind but is it my only option?





this is my hobby. I have a separate day time job which does not involve software development. what do i need to do as far as paying taxes (if any) is concerned. am i liable to pay taxes?





I do not want to create my own company etc. just because im developing this web app.





By the way, if you intend to reply on tax-related questions, please understand I reside in England.

    Since you're doing a web app I believe that you can get listed in the Apple Web App listings by just being a safari developer, which is free. Im not sure that android has such a place or Windows Mobile either which means your going to have to do a lot of the marketing of your web app yourself.

    In this case, you are not going to be bound by any of the "Laws" that govern the App Store, Android, or Windows Marketplace. You can charge whatever you want to "featured" functionality and nobody will scoff.

    As far as your taxes are concerned. You should talk to an accountant about any income that comes from the app as well as having to charge any sort of sales tax.

    Hope this answers your questions. Good luck with your app.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
