Hi everyone,

Hope it's okay to post this here. I'm part of a team working on app monetization solutions, and recently we've been hoping to connect with more developers to learn how you're currently monetizing your apps.

We focus on interactive formats designed to improve engagement while keeping the experience less intrusive for users. We're currently working with apps across several categories, including games, finance, and utility apps.

Feel free to reach out for exploring collaboration. Thank you.

Hi @doriaho,
that sounds like a great initiative! Most mobile developers struggle to find that balance between earning revenue and keeping the user experience (UX) clean and non-intrusive.
It might help if you could share what specific 'interactive formats' you are working on, as that would give developers a better idea of how it fits into their apps (especially in the Finance and Utility sectors).

(Hope you find some great collaborators! If this suggestion helps you get moe engagement on this thread, please Mark as Answer)

"Hey there! As a developer currently working on a few backend-heavy projects (specifically in the music streaming and ride-booking space), I’ve been thinking a lot about the balance between monetization and UX lately.

One of the biggest hurdles I see with traditional ads is how much they break the flow of a utility-focused app. I’d be interested to hear more about the 'interactive formats' you mentioned—specifically how they handle latency and whether they can be implemented without bloating the app's footprint.

Always down to chat about how to keep the experience 'less intrusive' while still keeping the lights on. Feel free to reach out!"

Hi everyone,

This is a solid approach, especially focusing on engagement without hurting the user experience. If you're looking to connect with developers effectively, here’s a simple way to make this more actionable:

1. Be clear on value
   Briefly explain what makes your interactive formats different (e.g., higher retention, better CTR, non-intrusive UX).

2. Share real results
   Even 1–2 quick stats (like “+25% engagement” or “higher session time”) can instantly build trust.

3. Explain integration
   Let devs know how easy it is to get started:

SDK or no SDK
Time to integrate
Supported platforms (iOS, Android, web)

4. Define ideal partners
   Mention what type of apps benefit most (games, finance, utilities, etc.) so the right developers reach out.

5. Keep the CTA simple
   Instead of a broad “reach out,” guide them:

DM you
Comment below
Or share a quick demo link

Also, if anyone wants to better understand monetization strategies and trends before jumping into collaborations, this resource explains things in a practical way: https://ontechdicas.com.br/

Overall, you’re on the right track, just make it easier for developers to quickly see the value and next steps.

Just a heads up that GitHub Community Discussions is primarily a technical Q&A space, so this kind of outreach may not get much traction here (and may get flagged as off-topic).

Better places to find developer collaborators for app monetization partnerships:

• indie dev communities: r/indiegaming, r/androiddev, r/iOSProgramming on Reddit have active developers open to this kind of conversation
• Discord: servers like Indie Game Dev, GameDev League, or niche mobile dev communities have direct access to app developers
• LinkedIn: targeted outreach to mobile developers works well there, especially for finance/utility app categories
• GitHub Sponsors / GitHub Marketplace: if you're building an SDK or integration, listing there puts you in front of developers already looking for tools

If you do want to stay in GitHub's ecosystem, the GitHub Education or GitHub for Startups programs might be a better fit for partnership conversations than the community forums.
