Empowering Nepal's Android Community

Empowering Nepal's Android Community

In recent years, Nepal's Android users and developers have witnessed a remarkable surge in growth. From bustling monthly meetups to lively community workshops, the conversation consistently revolves around a shared challenge: How can we effectively publish our apps on global platforms like the Google Play Store? As active participants in this thriving community, we've keenly felt the limitations imposed by the absence of accessible global marketplaces for our apps.

Having worked tirelessly within this community for years—organizing events, delivering workshops, and collaborating with fellow developers—we've recognized a common struggle among the 1000+ members of Kathmandu's Android developer community. Despite our collective talent and creativity, the lack of cross-country online payment systems in Nepal has hindered our ability to engage with the global Android market.

The issue is clear: Without convenient access to global app stores, we are unable to showcase and monetize our creations effectively. While we eagerly await technological advancements or policy changes to address this challenge, we refuse to remain idle. Instead, we've decided to leverage our existing payment infrastructure and take matters into our own hands.

Today, we are thrilled to announce the launch of AppsJhola—a local app marketplace designed to catalyze the growth of Nepal's Android ecosystem. With AppsJhola, we aim to provide a platform where Nepalese developers can effortlessly publish, purchase, and sell their apps. Together, let's embark on this journey to empower our community and unlock the full potential of Nepal's vibrant Android landscape.
