litl now accepting Channel Submissions

by @chuckstar

You can now submit Channels to be reviewed, published, and distributed to litl device users!

We have spent months designing and developing a process that, true to our brand, made it as simple as possible to publish and manage your Flash-based Channels. The process starts with a simple entry of your Channel name and description and includes what may be the most transparent app review process in the industry. Here is what you can do now:

1. Register your Channel name and idea
Whether you've started building your channel or even downloaded the SDK and Simulator, you can register your Channel now. All you need is a developer account and you can "Create a Channel." After you've signed into your developer account, simply click the "Channels" link on the left side navigation and hit the "Create a Channel" button. Fill out the easy form, including Channel name and description. This will let us know of your plans to soon build and publish the channel. While it won't prevent other developers from doing something similar, you can reserve the name and it does help us support you should the Channel idea get us excited!

2. Upload the Channel package and Images
Once you've registered your Channel name/idea, you can continue, or return to the site in the near future, and upload the Channel package. The package consists of your completed .swf file and a few other files you need to round out your Channel. This step also lets you upload screenshots of your Channel in action, which will eventually be featured in the listing of your Channel in our Channel store.

3. Submit your Channel for review
Lastly, you submit your channel to be reviewed by a member of our team. We'll evaluate your channel and make sure it meets checkpoints in our submission guidelines. We have implemented a very friendly and transparent process for giving you feedback on your channel, and should we find anything that needs further attention, you will receive a report card outlining exactly what we suggest you modify so we can get your Channel in the store as soon as possible.

Future features
In the coming months, we'll be implementing new features into our litl OS that support users purchasing Channels. These features will make their first into the Channel submission process, so you can ultimately set a price for your Channel and setup your account to receive payments from your Channel sales.

Channel Submission Criteria up on developer.litl.com!

by @ryancanulla

Check out our submission criteria! We’ve made an easy checklist for you to use when creating or submitting channels in our upcoming channel store (both free and paid). We hope that this takes away some of the guesswork with regards to what we will be checking your channels against during the submission process! We’ve broken it down to “channels should” and “channels must”. Can we make it any easier?
