Announcing mobile.dev
Despite the impressive advancements in mobile technology, many apps are still plagued by 1-star reviews, users suffer from basic mobile app quality issues and companies rely on outdated reactive strategies to address these problems. At mobile.dev, we are setting a new standard for mobile development empowering all companies to deliver high-quality mobile applications to their users.
We have witnessed firsthand the rapid progression of the mobile ecosystem. Our co-founder Leland, previous Tech Lead of Uber’s Mobile Platform Team, led the development of internal platforms to address the difficulties of modern mobile application development. His experience at Uber aligned with what many others were seeing in the mobile community: standard tooling is not keeping up with the pace of mobile innovation. Mobile companies have long since outgrown the basic tooling provided by Google and Apple, and deserve better.
Often we see companies leveraging production monitoring to help identify app quality issues. There are advantages to this approach like the ability to understand trends in real user behavior, but there are some clear downsides. Relying solely on production monitoring is a reactive strategy that sacrifices users and wastes valuable engineering resources.
