We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Open Source Platform

Update #3 · Oct 8, 2010 · 2 comments

All resulting applications will be open source. If you plan to publish on your own, you will need to be a registered and approved developer for each platform you plan to use. In some cases, like Amazon's Kindle, access to severely restricted. Publishing to the Kindle will require you to work with a registered Kindle developer.

      A story will take the open source code and compile to something. So in the case of Android or Kindle, the results of using the KDK Jar and your UI code and your FyreVM story file would be a new JAR file. We will open source FyreVM and a basic implementation of the UI for each platform. You could write your own UI code, but you would not need to implement FyreVM.

      What is the difference between an "application" and a "story" in this context?
