Wanted to open this conversation because we could really use an Open Source app that partners with websites and stores so they can display any of their products on the app for people to buy

Suggestion: Would be a 10,000 IQ move if say KDE and KDE Community make one since it can be a passive income in a way from making/hosting the app for people to use. The money gained can be used to fund the devs, their KDE/other projects, and other open source projects. Edit: That way it adds onto the already existing sources of funding, and can lead to growth all over

Maybe one app from KDE. One from GNU/Linux. Etc

Technically that's what Amazon is in a way no?

Then for USA partner up with FedEx/USPS (Whichever is better). Spitballing here with all this

I fully agree and do the same it is a way better way to buy needed things. Won't ever go back to Amazon but the news of AWS reminded me how alternatives are needed for Amazon and Amazon Web Services

This post is more so for apps to be made that most people will use and will actually be a boon to the open source community as another way of funding. Can also lead the way to hardware being funded to be made as well from that additional income stream
