Hey sleeper, fantastic work on this mate!
2 quick questions for you:
- How do you generate revenue? Ads? (lets face it, nothing is for free)
- How much data/communication does the app do with the servers?
To be honest, I've done the app completely for free, as the ads generate little to nothing revenue. I'm completely fine with it though, it's part of my hobby. As for the data, the app downloads the following:
-(at the launch of app) A JSON string which is effectively a long text file. Very low size.
-(at the launch of app) Steam profile HTML file, which is another text file, and then Steam nick and avatar. It's a low definition image and does not require much data.
-(upon requesting recent matches) another JSON string with recent matches data and player ranks.
