Summary: I propose we come out with a bounty feature for new features. This lets the app developers earn extra $$. And let's me get the features i want.
Long version
Developers post roadmap of features and/or take request. People pledge extra $$ to the features they want to see developed. The programmers then prioritize feature with most money pledged.
The two features im willing to put a couple hundred toward.
Photo gallery (so i can ditch plex) and LG Web OS support (so I can ditch a streaming box).
For me. Channels isn't about saving $$. It's about controlling my content, how I want.
