Hello, Zoltán! :)<br>
Feel free to criticize me, but... ads in our jolla? No, thanks!

I subscribe to this - while I understand developers are looking for
revenue streams I really like<br>
how current native Sailfish OS apps are pretty much add free (for
one reason or another).<br>
Just take a look how reckless add usage ruins application usability
on Android.<br>
I'm fine with donations, paid/premium versions, etc. but please no
adds! :)<span class=""><br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<div dir="ltr">I guess if you are a developer it make sence to ask
for donations / create non-free apps, but please, no ads at all.<br>
(Espesially with additional web engine module loaded eating my
resources)<br>
<br>
Again, this is just my opinion. I understand it opens new
possibilities for some projects, etc, etc. </div>

<p>I've progressed with implementing an open source wrapper
for Vserv RESTful advertisement API in QML. Quote from API
description:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Vserv provides a simple HTTP based API to
publishers/developers and other ad networks, etc. to
fetch ads for mobile sites or mobile applications. The
mobile device / server makes a HTTP request to Vserv
Marketplace server with the required parameters and in
response receives the ad in JSON format. This single API
integration gives you the flexibility to fetch banner/
full screen / rich media ads.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Available implementation is in pre-beta phase - quite
majority of functionality works but there is still room
for improvement.</p>
<p>Since I'm not so experienced in this area of sw
development - and especially newbie in Sailfish native
development - <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,0)"><strong><em>I
would like to ask some help from the community in
finishing it</em></strong>.</span></p>
<p>It would be a general purpose QML wrapper around the API
with necessary tailoring is needed for Sailfish - e.g.
Webkit vs. WebView, etc. Maybe separate git branches are
needed for different implementation(?) - I'm open for any
reasonable proposal.</p>
<p>Is there anybody willing to join? Reviewing, commenting -
and of course, coding is more than welcome.
[<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,0)">This is my
first open source project, so comment from this aspect
is welcome, too</span>.]</p>
<p>API descrption is <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/139TRSTV33tLxKxbew4yPTPF4uc8PZJPiRkxyo9GymIE/edit" target="_blank">here</a>, code repository is in <a href="https://bitbucket.org/zlutor/qml-wrapper-for-vserv-http-ad-api" target="_blank">BitBucket</a></p>
