Over the last 4 years…
! 1. Contrasting with the Web 2. Product Design 3.
The Platforms 4. Culture
Contrasting with the Web
Significant reduction in speed. ➔ Tightly coupled UI ➔ Changes
to the backend can cause significant impact
No dynamic updates! ➔ Closed “store” model ➔ React Native
maintenance overhead
Wait… how many versions? ➔ Multiple versions will be “live”
◆ Versioned APIs ◆ Remote kill-switch
Product design
Consistency is an expectation. ➔ Even from inexperienced users! ➔
Push from Google/Apple ◆ Back button exit confirmation ◆ Slide to go back
Low tolerance towards jank. ➔ Performance is important ➔ Perceived
speed is important too
Mobile devices have personal information. ➔ User privacy is critical
➔ Engineers are as responsible as the Product Designers
The platforms
Badly behaved apps have no place. ➔ Memory/CPU constraints ➔
Disk thrashing is real
Constant learning is imperative. ➔ Play Services division ➔ RecyclerView
prefetch ➔ Read SMS-OTP API
Don’t fake optimise. ➔ Splash screen delays ➔ Protobuf and
JSON
Security theater is a concern. ➔ Certificate pinning ➔ Protecting
API endpoints ➔ Client-side encryption
Culture
You cannot fix with technology what is broken by culture.
me.
git is not Dropbox. ➔ Rollbacks ➔ Bisecting ➔ Hooks
What is your bus factor? ➔ Documentation ➔ … Documentation
➔ … … Documentation
Are you measuring the metrics? ➔ Data driven design much?

Effort does not mean progress. ➔ bugfix : feature ratio?
➔ The Mythical Man Month Fred Brooks ➔ Peopleware — Productive Projects and Teams Tom DeMarco & Tim Lister
