Couple of 2.0 questions

Hello, I saw that the new version came out 2.0, wanted to try for my latest apps but i have a few questions : 1. I did allready 5 apps with version 1.5, the main screens that I have used is row list with a photo inside, I do not see that in the plugin existing pages ? how to get one ? 2. I allready 5 apps up and running, I see that the free account can only have 3 apps, is that a problem, do I have to upgrade right away, I actullay intend to upgrade as I love you guys so much and you earn to have some money for the good work. 3. In the upgrade version I dont understand what is the limitation of nbr of views 3000 vs 100 000, can I get more info ? 4. I do a lot of videos and I dont see this in the list of plugins in version 2.0 Voila to start with, tks !

Before trying to answer your questions, I see you are from Paris: Great town! I myself am French, please forgive my language mistakes. About your questions, I was quite scared myself that this update would put a stop to my development. Here is what I can answer from your questions: 1. Some of the plugins ARE missing: I imagine the owners are working on the development / optimization of these plugins (note the huge effort: the project code source has reduced by more than 1/2 its full size between a v.1.5 and a v.2.0) I guess you will need to be patient. 2. If you were developing as an Aspiring Developer in v.1.5, then I guess you must be like me / most of the people here in the sense that you have been offered the Aspiring Developer Account for FREE (instead of 9.99$ / month). This means you must have access to the features of that Account Category. What I don't know is if that state is permanent. 3. The number of views can be found on the Applications Page. The amount of views must affect the bandswidth of the servers in the sense that more people using the application = more people using the servers. I believe that this means that when you have reached the limit (100 000 views in your case I imagine), you will not be able to use that server anymore. Again, these are just educated guesses. 4. I don't quite understand question 4, but again, I think it means that the site is not yet ready. In the mean time, have a nice end of winter in Paris !

It's 3:00 AM here and a crazy long day. Before I crash.. @Skyr0S is spot on with most of the remarks, I'll add a few more... 1) Plugins / Size of Project: The Xcode project is much smaller now because plugin folders are drug into the xcode project after the download. Eclipse project is a bit smaller. Number of plugins. For sure more will come, given time. We've tried real hard over the last 12 months to get all sorts of things evolved. We settled on helping folks get started with the absolute minimum / basic screens to minimize their confusion, advanced questions, etc. We'll begin to roll our more plugins in time. Also, we hope to make it much easier to understand how to extend them and make new ones to share with each other. We stopped publishing release dates for these kinds of things along time ago - it's impossible to be accurate. 2) Account type: Everyone was given a Developer account at no cost. We will not charge your for this - ever. It has no expiration date because of your loyalty. Some made it by one single day! LOL. It's a bit confusing, we know. We'll work out a better way to communicate this so you don't have to worry. The bottom line is that we DO NOT want users that registered before March 8th 2012 to have to pay for upgrades, API Keys, etc. This means that some users are already over their "maximums" - this is OK, we're working it out with each one of them as needed. Nobodies apps will be removed and nobodies accounts will be limited if they registered before 3/8/12 3) Videos: Same question as #1. Keep in mind that you're free to downoad a v1.5 project and see how all the different screens work, no reason you could't tinker a bit to spin your own plugins, right? Night.
