Any thoughts / recommendations on pushing small projects to app store?
I have a few I was debating pushing but I don't know if the time/learning cost is worth it for fun projects vs a download link on a webpage

To be honest though, I've only app stored one other project (http://kin.am/grid) and it's an iPhone app so I have no idea whether it pays off (Speaker was just published today). Grid (the iPhone app) doesn't make much per month but it's pretty passive income and nice to have a little extra beer money. After 1.5 years on the store, it has definitely payed decently for the time it took me to make. Moreover, the experience/resume boost it gives has been invaluable - developers who have pushed apps are in hot demand.
EDIT: I guess it being worth your time depends on how much you make. I'm a student, so taking time away from paying gigs isn't such a big deal for me yet.
They're OK at support, giving me a lot of stuff to do building screenshots and junk, but it's slowed me down quite a bit. I'd still like to get my app up, though. It's very useful to me. :)
