We are hosting KhanApp ourselves. OpenAppMkt provides easy ways for end users to install or bookmark our app onto their phones. Plus it gives us install numbers and reviews etc.


That last statement a key benefit of an app market. Tangentially, I've seen developers driven nuts by downvotes for bugs they fix in no time, but that can take days to get approved with native apps. Or on android, by fragmentation issues in which apps don't work well on certain phones.


You may host it but if i visit khanapp.com on my android it tries to make me install openappmkt. I should be able to just use the app. It's html, I have a browser that supports html, so let me use the app.


Thanks! I will shoot you an email. I discovered while doing this that KA videos are not avail. as HTML5 videos using the iframe embed code. Maybe not all videos on YT are converted yet.


The safari problem is now fixed.

Yes, jQuery Mobile was used. It was wonderful. Still has some rough edges though.


Thanks, it works! Still cool use of jQuery Mobile though.


fixed! thanks for the bug report!


fixing now.


Yes, the YouTube videos are behaving weird on the iPad. They work on iPhone and Android ok though.

If I understand your suggestion correctly, the app should allow for setting up of a customized curriculum?


Yeah, let me create users and when you open the app, pick a user to start watching videos with then record which videos they've watched so you can keep track of where you're at.


I'd be interested to know the number of people using Google Reader as their primary tool to read stuff from the web. I'm sure the numbers would skew heavily towards the tech/geek crowd. But I have no idea how popular it is.


It remains to be seen if Quora would get traction on topics not related to Silicon Valley concerns.


It is one way of saying: find way to get traction first and then have bigger vision later.
