Thanks, i'll look into it.
Been playing around with it myself and its a bit more basic than i
remember... i would hope that there's enough quality stuff out there
that mine isn't needed.

still nothing has happened.

Im happy for this small web app (and source code) to be used if its deemed
appropriate:

built pre-Apache but is spark so i can easily update it to 4.9

It would definitely be great to get some apps for the showcase.
The Adobe Flex showcase is still up, but it suffers from the fact that
most apps require a login so most of what you have are screenshots.
I sent a screenshot of PrintUI to Infoworld, and apps like that would be
nice to have in a showcase.
One thing I've been pondering is that what the killer showcase app would
be. Even PrintUI requires a healthy wait at startup (at least at home over
DSL) and the task to perform takes "a while" so most folks won't really try
it to completion and get a good feel for what it can do.
Startup time is an important part of the new framework I'm working on so
that public-facing apps over slower connections startup reasonably quickly,
but it I am still searching for a task that the public can accomplish that
doesn't require money, logins, several steps, etc, but showcases any
advantages of Flex.
That said, the static screenshots and even some of these dynamic apps are
becoming easier to do in HTML. So really, maybe developer productivity is
our best selling point these days? Or is it the ability to use structured
programming?

Well, you can feel free to use PrintUI.com in both capacities... ;-)
Anyone on the dev list who has permission to showcase apps, can just
post them
here as a starting point for the list.

I'd love to see something like this on the website. The only problem
was seeding the list. Heck, I couldn't even get 6 companies to allow
us to use their logos to say that they use Apache Flex to put on our
website...

Yes, this sounds good. I think, on the old flex.org page there was
also a showcase section. And everybody could see, what's possible with
Flex.
And we should not forget the category desktop AIR apps. And maybe
"categorize" these apps into topics (or tags - what does the
application).

I was thinking: There's nothing quite like showing people quality
working applications to convince them that a technology is a viable
option for their own needs.
Should we have a featured page of the Flex website that has a list
of
featured applications? We could break it into categories of web apps,
iOS apps and Android apps. Eventually HTML apps could join that list.
Mobile apps are probably the most important, because no one knows
what technology you used to create a mobile app...
What do you think?
