Yes, this should not become a self-promotion tool, but a way for users to express their preferences and let others know where they can be found for different activities. Worst case scenario is that apps show a pop-up right when you log in and try to trick you into recommending them. Your app manager is a great place to offer these best practices to developers. For example, when a developer creates their first app, they could be presented with options on integrating recommendation features in just the right places.

Yes, great idea of adding the guidelines after someone publishes an app.

I think you are right, as you mentioned in DMs, that a good starting point would be for apps to track if some user has visited certain event kind within the app (probably several times) then it makes sense to present them with something like "Enjoying the APP experience with EVENT KIND? Recommend the APP to your followers!" - with a button to add the app to recommendations list for that specific kind.

Global "used for all kinds" recommendations should probably be discouraged.

Does this sound about right?

Yes, that sounds right. And these touch points may vary based on what the use case is. If you set up an online shop, there's a good chance you want people to know how to view it. And apps need to track if the user has already recommended them so they don't bother them unnecessarily.

Amazing, we could indeed customize the guide depending on the type of app.

And yes, definitely apps should check if they're already recommended.

Thank you!
