Top Facebook Apps and Companies

How many companies does Facebook own?

You’ve probably heard a lot about Facebook (Meta) this year. And it’s not only because it’s the most popular social network in the world, so there are good chances you use it as well. Facebook/Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal shook the world in spring 2018, and the attention to this application literally skyrocketed.

We believe that the issue is quite serious, but there are other, more positive reasons to keep up with news about Facebook. First, it’s a tech giant, so everyone who is in this industry should be at least generally aware of what’s happening there. Secondly, Facebook’s (Meta) revenue just for Fourth Quarter 2023 (the last reported quarter as of the date I checked) constituted more than $34,146 billion (Y2Y 23%).

We had a solid quarter as people turned to our products to stay connected and businesses continued to use our services to grow.

And it’s one of the Top-10 technology companies in the world (current #8). An excellent example of startup success, everyone tech entrepreneur can learn from.

In this article, we’ll take a mini-tour across the Facebook empire and talk about the most popular apps it owns. We prepared a list of top applications that Facebook owns, its features, and its peculiarities.

Facebook app

It probably sounds quite obvious, but we just couldn’t ignore this application that was the very first in the collection. Facebook App was created in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg and a few other fellows. As of September 2021, 17 years after the launch, the number of its monthly active users amounted to 2.74 billion. The Facebook app was the most downloaded app between 2010 and 2021 (businessinsider.com).

But it’s worth mentioning that the initial version of the Facebook app differed significantly from the one we are used to seeing today. Its name contained ‘the’ at the beginning, so it was ‘thefacebook.’ There were no newsfeed and ‘Like’ button either. So it was really a long road for the Facebook app to get where it’s now. Daily about 1.82 billion users visit Facebook.

Another interesting fact is that at the dawn of Facebook’s existence, Zuckerberg and other guys hacked Harvard’s computer system to copy some private information of the students who lived in the dormitory. So we can say that Facebook’s relationships with personal data protection were complicated from the very beginning.

This year Facebook rolled our new update for private education – “Educational Hub.” These resources help teachers and students to keep in touch and study remotely in connection with quarantine.

The resources include the following:

Anti-racism resources;
Self-care strategies and mental health resources (which are likely particularly important during social distancing during the pandemic);
“Get Digital,” a digital literacy program that includes lesson plans, online conversation starters, and online activities for students;
Group-focused options, including the opportunity to start or find a group of like-minded teachers, students, or parents.

Moreover, Facebook decided to go back to the original aim of the social network and launches Campus-platforms for students to chat with others, find out about upcoming events, and other online services.

Facebook DAUs were 2.09 billion on average for November 2023, an increase of 5% year-over-year.
Q3 2023

Messenger App

Messenger is another favorite app created by Facebook. Today, this application goes hand in hand with the Facebook app itself for most smartphone users. But, actually, Messenger became available for iOS, Android, and Windows devices only in 2011. Before that, there was only the Facebook Chat that was released in 2008. But it was not a standalone application and offered a much worse user experience.

According to Statista, as of July 2021, Facebook Messenger was the second most popular messaging app in the world, has 1.3 billion monthly active users.

The most recent significant revamp of this application took place in October 2018. The updates were mainly focused on simplifying users’ life by decluttering the chat interface and reducing the number of tabs. Another change was related to personalization. Now, users can choose the display color in their conversation.

The dark mode, however, is something we expected to receive in 2019. On top of that, Facebook Messenger is going to become more ad-friendly. It’s likely that companies will receive the opportunity to create story ads if Facebook’s testing of this feature shows promising results.

The recent update #336.0 was on the 25th of October 2021. It gave the improvements and bug fixes for the latest version on Messenger.

WhatsApp is another messaging application Facebook owns. But unlike Messenger, WhatsApp was not made by the Facebook team — the company acquired it in 2014 for $19 billion. At that moment, the application was already quite ‘mature,’ having existed on the market for about five years.

And as we see, that was indeed a successful purchase as WhatsApp is the most popular messaging application worldwide nowadays. It has more than 2.0 billion monthly active users and ranked No.1 app by worldwide downloads.

What WhatsApp updates can we expect in 2021? Well, there is good news for companies and bad news for users. Facebook plans to put ads on WhatsApp, so you’ll see some commercial content in the application soon. According to the statistics, the number of active users will grow from 68.1 to 85.8 million.

A sad story related to these changes is that WhatsApp founders Jan Koum and Brian Acton left Facebook in September 2017. And rumor has it that the main reason for such a decision was their disagreement with the company’s intent to embed targeted ads in the application that was initially supposed to be advert-free. However, our team knows how to develop a WhatsApp clone app.

Instagram

Does Facebook own Instagram? Instagram is also one of the most popular applications held by Facebook. It was created in 2010, but its independent existence didn’t last for long. Facebook saw the potential in a newborn app and purchased it in April 2012 (the same month when the Android version of Instagram was released) for as little as $1 billion. Many believe that it’s the best deal in the history of Silicon Valley tech companies.

And it’s no wonder. As of October 2018, Instagram was one of the most used social networks globally. It has more than 1 billion monthly active users who share about 80 million photos and videos per day.

There is no official information on what new Instagram features we can expect in 2022. But some experts believe that there will be a greater focus on IGTV, which is a platform for sharing long-form vertical videos. On top of that, there are good chances that Instagram Stories will become more interactive as users will receive an opportunity to leave public comments and create multiple-choice questions.

On the 5th of August, Instagram launched a new feature – reels video. It is a 15-sec video where users can put music, text, and other effects. This feature is available only in 50 countries where music is allowed by law. Among them are the USA, Germany, France, Great Britain, and others. The creators of TikTok emphasize similarity to their social media and criticize this update of Instagram.

300 hundred million users use Facebook Stories daily compared to 500 million who use Instagram Stories every day.

Threads — Instagram’s text-based conversation app

Instagram, the popular photo-sharing app, has ventured into the realm of text-based conversations with its new app called Threads. This standalone application allows users to have private conversations with their close friends, focusing on sharing photos, videos, and messages in a more intimate setting.

Oculus VR

Oculus VR is one of the tech companies Facebook owns. It was founded in July 2012, and in March 2014, Facebook purchased it for $2.3 billion. As the name suggests, Oculus VR’s activity is mainly focused on the development of virtual reality software and hardware products.

As of today, the most famous of them is Oculus Rift — a VR headset released in March 2016. It gained popularity right after it appeared on the market. In 2017, for instance, the company sold nearly 700,000 items of this device.

Yet, there is also a dark side to the story. In 2014, ZeniMax, a well-known gaming company, filed a lawsuit against Facebook, claiming that Oculus Rift was built based on the stolen code and research. In December 2018, the court finally passed its verdict and awarded ZeniMax $250M in damages.

But it’s not a time to get upset for Facebook. A release of Oculus Quest, a revolutionary standalone VR headset, is planned for the spring of 2019. And it really has the potential to disrupt the tech world. This is because the announced price is more than affordable ($399), so many game players will probably want to have the device.

Masquerade (MSQRD)

This app is the least known among those mentioned in this list of apps and companies owned by Facebook. Yet, we want to say it as the application was initially built by some Belarusian guys no one knows about. This, basically, proves that even if you’re not a Silicon Valley habitat, you can create a great product Facebook will want to purchase.

What does the MSQRD app do? Well, in general, it allows its users to “play” with their selfies by placing different effects on videos in real-time. On top of that, designers can create their own filters to make videos even more fun. The price of the deal was not disclosed. But we believe there should be a lot of zeros in this number.

Whale

Memes have invaded the Internet, so it is quite understandable why this November, Facebook released a meme-making app called Whale.

In Whale, you can select pictures from a camera or gallery on the device or even take a photo within the app to turn it into a fun meme. This app lets you add various emojis, texts, effects, and a couple of hype filters like laser eyes or vortex directly to your picture. It is even possible to make your stickers using cut & crop and drawing tools. After being completed, your funny creation can be shared with Instagram or Messenger.

Did you know that Facebook, after the success of Clubhouse, began to actively develop a Clubhouse clone, audio with short-form Soundbites feature, and podcast support? Recently the company presented all these solutions and they are already available for some users. Read more in our article Facebook Announces New Audio Products.

GIPHY

Facebook amazed us all again in 2020 by purchasing Giphy (a huge GIF-making and sharing website) for $400 million and promising to integrate its enormous library with overly popular Instagram. Apart from Instagram, the service will be supported by Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. Wow, isn’t it impressive that the users will have a set of tools for making their own GIFs and then sharing them with each other?

But will new Giphy ownership influence its regular users? Facebook says that it will absolutely not. Only the users of Instagram will enjoy the new way of sharing animated pictures and stickers. It is worth mentioning that many other giant websites like Twitter, Slack, Pinterest, and even Reddit are using GIFs created in Giphy and rely on its API. So let’s wait and see what Facebook developers have in mind and what new excellent option our favorite apps will get soon.

NPE Projects

AUX

This July, Facebook gathered NPE (New Product Experimentation) team and launched Aux – a beta version of a new music app for teens and schoolers. Aux is available for Canadian users and can be downloaded only on iOS devices. It ranked 38 among other music apps in the Canadian App Store, and this fall, the number of its downloads was only 500+. Many people have noticed that the AUX concept resembles Turntable.fm (a social media website for sharing music that was shut down in 2013).

It is true that both solutions offer unique DJ’ing experiences; however, the core aim of Aux is a bit different. The app allows creating a so-called virtual party that all schoolers and teens can join at 9 P.M. They all can play their music and compete for “claps” to get up-voted. The musician who received more “claps” wins. We do not know what future awaits this app, but we think that it is excellent that the NPE squad creates solutions encouraging creative people to share their talents with each other.

Bump by NPE

Facebook NPE team has recently released a freshly created app called Bump for both iOS and Android devices. This is basically an anonymous chatting app aimed to help people make friends.

If you are wondering what makes it stand out from other alike messaging tools, the answer is – the opportunity to establish engaging communication without being distracted by pictures, videos, or links. Yes, Bump does not have any of those. You can only communicate with the help of text messages. The chatting in real-time, and answers should be sent within 30 seconds.

One more exciting feature of this app is that you can participate in one chat at a time. After the messaging is finished, two people can keep in touch further if they both agree. Kudos to NPE guys, for Bump, help people to value communication above appearance!

Tuned by NPE

Facebook launches a new messaging app called ‘Tuned,’ just for couples. A private space where you and your significant other can just be yourselves. With Tuned, you can be as mushy, quirky, and silly as you are together in person, even when you’re apart. Creatively express your love, share your mood, exchange music, and build a digital scrapbook of your special moments.

Collab by NPE

Category: Music

Collab, Facebook’s experimental app for making collaborative music videos, is today launching out of private beta testing with a public release on the App Store. The app is one of now many projects from Facebook’s internal R&D group, NPE Team, which tests new ideas that could ultimately influence Facebook’s next steps in social media. In the app, a collab could consist of a guitarist, drummer, and a singer, each playing alongside the other in their respective videos.

FAQ

How many companies does Facebook own?

Facebook, Inc. is a social networking company that has acquired 82 other companies, including WhatsApp.

Why does the NPE team create new small apps?

The idea behind every new small app developed by NPE is to check users’ engagement and offer a new digital experience. They usually make apps available in a certain country and check the activity of the audience, especially the number of downloads and users’ engagement and reviews. This allows the developers to identify what apps and features are worth being improved further and transformed into holistic app.

Does Facebook have any competitors?

Although it seems like Facebook is one-of-a-kind, it has many competitors. They all can be divided into categories according to a certain activity. F.e. Facebook’s major competitors in advertising are Google and Amazon. When it comes to video sharing, YouTube is the best platform. Such services as Pinterest and LinkedIn have the biggest user base. Chinese social platform called WeChat exceeds Facebook drastically.

Final thoughts

Facebook owns the most popular and actively used companies for the last decades. There is a vast number of users that visit websites and applications every day. And the number is still increasing and widening its boundaries.

In this article, we mentioned only the most famous apps and companies Facebook owns. Of course, there are many more of them as the general list of Facebook’s products and acquisitions also contains multiple smaller purchases. And the Facebook empire keeps growing. So if you come up with some brilliant idea Facebook finds attractive, you may really make a fortune on it. In this regard, there are, basically, two options: you can either develop an entirely new product or think about additional features to enhance the existing app.

Already have an app idea even Zuckerberg would envy?

How to Unlist your Phone Number from GetContact [New Guide]

What is Getcontact?

Getcontact is an app that allows users to identify unknown numbers, use spam filters, and block unwanted calls and messages. The app collects contact information from the user’s phone book as well as from other users who have the app.

However, some users have expressed concerns about their privacy and the app’s data collection practices. Some users also find the app’s features to be intrusive and unwanted.

GetContact app allows you to define number owners and find out how a contact is signed in other users’ address books. In December 2023, 5 years after its launch, the application ranks 50th among the Google Play top charts in the Utility section. This is despite the fact that GetContact collects the personal data of users.

In this post, I try to explain how to delete your personal data from the GetContact database.

How to Delete Your Number from GetContact?

As noted by the developers themselves, deleting a profile in GetContact does not remove the number from the database application. However, to protect yourself, it is recommended to deactivate the account. Here’s how to do it:

Open the app and go to the “Other” menu;
Select “Settings” and then “Account Setup”;
Go to “Account Management”, click “Lock Account” and confirm the action.

It is noteworthy that your data will not be visible in the application until you log in to GetContact again.

To completely remove your data from the app you should do the following:

Go to page of official site GetContact: https://www.getcontact.com/en/unlist ;
Log in;
Scroll to the end of the page that opens and click Visibility settings;
To prevent your data and tags from being available to other users, switch the slider to Off;
Confirm the Action.

After performing these actions, your personal data will be hidden from search and your account will be deleted.

Why will I remove my number from Getcontact app?

I will remove my number from GetContact app for several reasons.

Firstly, I value my privacy and do not want my personal information to be accessible to a third-party app without my consent. Secondly, I do not want to be contacted by strangers or unsolicited marketing calls, which are often the result of having my number listed on such apps. Lastly, I am concerned about the security of my personal data, as there have been instances of data breaches and leaks in the past.

For these reasons, I have decided to remove my number from the Getcontact app.

Is this the final solution?

Unfortunately, GetContact’s contact database is not exclusively used by this app. It is regularly scraped by other services that publish this information. For example, it’s easy to find a similar Telegram bot that has data from GetContact. This is @getcontact_real_bot (developed by @soarer_x) or similar. It offers 6 free attempts to identify a phone number and has a limitation of only three records in the response.

Such third-party services usually have their own independent contact database and do not synchronize it with the original app. Therefore, removing yourself from GetContact does not guarantee complete privacy.

Short video Guide from QMLS:

Delete GetContact Tags

Open the GetContact app on your device.
Tap on the “More” option usually located at the bottom of the screen.
Select “Show Profile” at the top of the screen.
A list of tags assigned to your profile by other users will be displayed.
Press and hold on the tag you want to delete and swipe it all the way to the left.
Select the appropriate reason for deleting the tag.
Tap on “Report” to remove the tag from your profile.

Deepnude is free?

What are the Best Features of DeepNudes Apps?

Some of the best features of these apps are:

Analyzing an image for the presence of a model.
Find, recognize and classify parts of the model’s clothing.
Replacing clothing elements with photorealistic images of the corresponding body parts.
Evaluate the quality and re-replace if necessary.

How to choose the best DeepNude Apps?

When choosing the best Photo Nuding AI Apps, consider the following factors:

Features: Look for a wide range of editing tools. How many options for generation are offered.
Ease of Use: User-friendly interface. Web app or Telegram/Discord Bot.
Reviews and Ratings: Check user reviews and ratings. But best to try own.
Privacy Policy: Ensure your data is handled securely.
Cost: Compare pricing or subscription models. Cost per generation and Payment ways.
Support and Updates: Look for good customer support and regular updates.
Performance: How long it takes to process one photo.
Output Quality: High-quality output is crucial. How the model’s shapes are rendered, whether the skin tone is taken into account, and whether the result is realistic.

How accurate are the results produced by DeepNude?

The precision of DeepNude’s output is contingent on a range of factors, including image quality, clothing variation, and software used. With minimal exertion, Deepfake AI technology strives to yield authentic outcomes.

Reviews from users have been generally positive about the accuracy of DeepNude.cc results.

Why Did the Original DeepNude App Shut Down?

The original DeepNude app has been shut down due to a number of reasons. The developer took this action out of consideration for society, as they believed the app could be used in harmful and inappropriate ways by some users. It raises the question of why the developer chose to create the app in the first place, knowing the potential for negative consequences. Instead of searching for the DeepNude APK for Android, it is advisable to avoid this trap and find alternative, safer options.

Will developers have a copy of my picture?

Only the developer of deepnude-like apps can provide a definitive answer to this query. Having developed similar apps before, I can attest that storing photos, particularly originals, is costly due to high hosting storage needs which equals higher expenses. The primary aim for developers is to profit from premium features. Maintaining a good reputation is crucial for the owners of such sites or bots, and I’d say 99% of these apps don’t retain your photos.

However, this isn’t guaranteed. To ensure safety, you might want to install and train your own AI model for photo generation, keeping data on your personal computer, or utilize unidentifiable “clean” Telegram accounts.

Conclusion: Should I Use a DeepNude App To Generate Fakes or Create my own Fakes?

I am sure you are very excited about the next part of this article, where I am going to share my thoughts on two of the most popularly asked questions of all time. Should I use a deepnude app to generate fakes or create my own fake?

Before we get into these two questions, let’s talk about what is a deep nude. This is an application that uses image recognition that allows you to take any picture on your phone and turn it into a nude photo. This can be done without your consent, which is why people are asking whether they should use it to generate fakes or create their own fakes.

Recap

To recap, here are the best deepnude apps to try in 2023:

Undress App — best for beginners with an interface anyone can use
AI-PIPI bot — quickest bot solution
DeepSwap — best of the best for video
Deepnude.cc — best for undressing and for anyone who wants to create convincing deepnude images
DeepNude.to — good for undressing
DreamTime — best for developers
DreamStudio — has many tools

With its web-based platforms, there’s no need to purchase a costly graphics card or CPU!

Best App to Meet People

Navigating through the tumultuous waters of the dating world can be a daunting endeavor, even for the most seasoned romantics among us. The digital age, with its plethora of dating apps, offers a sea of opportunities to meet that special someone, yet it’s not without its own unique challenges – or should we say, roses and thorns?

From the heartwarming tales of love at first swipe to the bitter stories of deceit and broken hearts, the online dating realm mirrors a garden of blossoming opportunities, spiked with the occasional prickly thorn. But fear not, for as we stroll through this virtual garden together, we’ll unearth the secrets, tips, and user experiences from various popular platforms, ensuring your voyage is both enchanting and prudent.

Let’s jump into our list.

Snapchat: Not Just a Face in the Crowd of Dating Apps

Once recognized predominantly for its breezy photo-sharing capabilities, Snapchat has shrewdly evolved, creating a unique alcove where friendships blossom, and occasionally, kindling a spark of romance.

A. Snap, Chat, and Beyond: Melding Friendship and Romance

Snapchat, an app initially bathed in the limelight as a platform for friends, has silently climbed the ladder, becoming an understated player in the world of digital romance. Its informal and ephemeral nature allows connections to bloom naturally, offering a respite from the often intense arena of explicit dating apps. Interestingly, platforms such as https://onlyfanssigns.com/snapchat-onlyfans have begun to harness the app’s potential by providing a hub for users to find onlyfans Snapchat accounts, bridging the gap between light-hearted snaps and more explicit content. This intertwining of platforms symbolizes a new era of digital connections, where boundaries between playful and mature content are seamlessly blended.

Striking a Match Without Getting Burned:

Be Authentic: Let your true self-shine through snaps and chats.
Keep it Light: Engage in fun, easy-going conversations initially.
Privacy First: Be mindful of the personal information you share.

The Snappy Pros and Cons: Weighing the Boon and Bane of Snapchat Dating

On the one hand, Snapchat provides a light-hearted platform where connections can blossom organically amidst playful snaps and filters. On the other hand, its transient nature can sometimes veil genuine intentions, making it imperative to navigate with both an open heart and a pinch of caution. Snapchat harbors a sphere where casual chats can subtly segue into deeper connections, provided one can decrypt the signals amidst the playful emojis and vibrant filters.

Surfing for a Perfect Wave: Delving into Other Dating Apps

While Snapchat has carved its own niche in connecting people, various other platforms explicitly designed for dating have sprung up, each with its own unique bouquet of features, success stories, and potential pitfalls.

The Majestic Tinder: Lighting a Spark or Simply Fizzling Out?

The flames of Tinder have flickered across the dating world, igniting stories of love, friendship, and everything in-between. Is it a beacon of genuine connections, or merely a wildfire of transient emotions? User experiences seem to illuminate a tapestry of both.

How Much Does a Hosting Server Cost Per User for an App?

Daily Active Users	Average Monthly Server Price
Up to 100 users	$5-$25
Up to 1,000 users	$15-$50
2,000 – 10,000 users	$50-$150
11,000 – 25,000 users	$100-$250
26,000 – 100,000 users	$200-$500
101,000 – 1 million users	$500-$2,500

When designing a business plan for a heavy load application, it is very important to take into account and accurately calculate such costs as the pricing of the hosting service where the application data will be stored. Large-scale applications, such as social networks, can become a real problem for their owners if the associated costs are calculated wrong initially.

Just imagine: thousands of users every day supplement the application database with messages, photos, and other media files – how much storage space is needed, how much can it cost and how much does a hosting server cost per user for a social network app? Will your application become a “dead” project because of the high maintenance expenses? In this article, we plan to describe the order of calculating the cost of the server hosting for large applications to avoid unpleasant financial surprises after the app release.

What is the basis for calculating the average server cost per user?

It is important to keep in mind that server hostings are characterized not only by the provisioned storage space but also by communication channel bandwidth and hardware capacities. Thus, the mobile app backend hosting cost can be calculated based on the following indicators:

The cost of each Storage Gigabyte;
The cost of each Megabit of Bandwidth;
The cost of the Server’s Performance.

Also, the cost of server hosting can be affected by equipment maintenance expenses, technical support charges, and other factors.

How to calculate the cost of Server Hosting?

How much does a social app cost to run? Depending on the pricing parameters, the cost of server hosting for a heavy application can be calculated in several ways.

#1 Calculation according to the Storage Space Cost (SSC)

A very simple calculation scheme, for which it is required to approximate the number of application users and the maximum storage limits for each of them. The rough estimation is simple: if the cost of storing the object is $0.1 per GB of space per month and your application is calculated, say, for 5000 users, with a limit of 2 GB, the result of multiplying all the numbers (5000 × 2 × 0.1) the monthly cost of the server would be $1000.

It is important to understand that this calculation gives only an approximate cost of required hosting. The actual number of users may differ, and each user will not necessarily use all the space provided to them. Thus, you can make an assumption about the actual use of the server space (as a percentage of the initial number of users and disk space) and use this coefficient to adjust the appraisal.

#2 Own/Rented server

Buying or renting a whole server can significantly reduce the cost of hosting, but requires the seed capital. For example, for an application designed for the same 5000 users and 2 GB storage limit (10,000 GB or 10 TB), you need to purchase about 2 servers with 8x 2TB SATA disks (taking into account the cost of server space for user data, operating systems, application backend and RAID reservation), the cost of which is about $3000 each, plus additional equipment (racks, etc.), the totals would approximate to $6500. If you have such a starting amount, you can recoup the costs for 2 years at a server cost of $270-300 per month. Thus, the price of one GB of space for one user would equal to $0.06.

Making a long-term business plan with the calculation of hosting costs for the above scheme it is important to consider the expiration of the equipment. Any device has an approximate service life and needs regular replacement.

Another variant suitable for those who do not have sufficient starting capital is server equipment rental. Calculating the cost to maintain an application when renting server hardware can be carried out according to the same scheme, but taking into account the monthly rental fees.

Testing the application to determine the required hosting parameters

All the previous estimation methods are based only on the approximate assumptions of the user numbers and the necessary space for each user. Such calculations do not take into account the traffic, the required processor power, the average load on the server and many other factors. The calculation for these models is suitable for compiling a primary business plan for understanding the profitability of the application even before work on it is started.

However, in order to obtain more or less accurate data on the required server capacity and volume for an already developed application and, accordingly, calculate the cost of server hosting, a deeper approach is needed.

The best and accurate calculations are given by testing the required application efficiency using the specially developed software. Such test programs create “virtual users” that simulate the actions of real users of the application, measuring the loads to identify the optimal configuration of the application’s server part infrastructure.

The essence of the testing

To test the application architecture, worker threads mirroring virtual users are used, each of which can execute one of three action scenarios:

Light (authorization, login to the server, viewing the application partitions, sending/receiving requests);
Medium (to the light scenario’s actions, sending/receiving messages, uploading photos, viewing photos of other users, sending/receiving pictures are added);
Heavy (extensive exploitation of all the application features).

Typical time between each script action is established to 1 second.

Thus, gradually increasing the number of threads, each of which randomly engages one of the scenarios, the testing application measures the load on the server part of the application in its different configurations. As soon as any element of the application starts to work incorrectly, the test stops and changes the infrastructure configuration.

Most of the established outsourcing software development companies have such a sophisticated in-house testing program.

Results

The result of the test is the optimal configuration of the application infrastructure, which can support the maximum number of users simultaneously using the application. It also calculates the maximum hardware capabilities required for the application, based on which you can calculate the server hosting cost for the application most accurately.

Also, based on the results of the test, you can choose the hosting model (renting server hosting, renting server equipment or colocation, own server), which will not only be most advantageous financially but also meet the requirements of the application in the case of high loads.

Summary

When developing large applications similar to social networks or media hosting, an important part of the business plan will be to estimate server costs per user. For preliminary calculations at the design stage of the application, you can employ simple mathematical models:

Number of users/space for each – to calculate hosting and storage costs/necessary equipment expenses/monthly fees – when buying or renting equipment

However, for accurate calculations of the cost of hosting and choosing the most beneficial server interaction model (purchase, lease, colocation) in mobile development for Android or iOS, professional testing is necessary that would take into account all the appropriate factors. Only after calculating the necessary application load on the server can you tell exactly which server parameters will best meet the needs of the application and, based on the received data, clearly estimate the cost of hosting – total and average server cost per user.

The most Popular Problems in Apps for Traders and Investors

The main problem of brokerage applications is the conflict of interest of investors and developers. Investors are looking for a way to make money efficiently, and app owners are looking for a way to increase revenue and earn a commission.

Covid-19 Relief Bill Stimulus Checks

The U.S. Senate approved President Joe Biden’s administration’s $1.9 trillion pandemic coronavirus economic recovery package. (Source)

For most taxpayers, Biden’s plan calls for direct payments of $1,400 per person. And a family with two children and an annual income in the neighborhood of $100,000 would receive a check of $5,600.

The $1.9 trillion amount corresponds to about ten percent of annual U.S. GDP.

The broker will not know your investment goals

Our team frequently dives deep into the world of mobile apps, and a critical part of our process involves studying the target audience. Occasionally, while spelunking these research caves, we stumble upon insights that stray a bit from the product itself.

For instance, on a recent deep-dive into the sea of fintech, we surfaced with an unexpected pearl of wisdom. We discovered that, in their mad dash for new investors, bank brokers seem to be adopting the “talk more, listen less” approach. They’re busily trying to keep clients hooked by transforming them into active traders, tantalizing them with the prospect of profit.

Here’s the hitch though: most clients aren’t looking to morph into Wall Street wolves. They’re more akin to wise tortoises, preferring to go slow and steady with long-term investments on the exchange.

So, what’s going wrong with these brokerage apps, and how can they hit the ‘reset’ button? Buckle up, we’re about to delve into the details.

Now top forex brokers take care of the client and help them build a portfolio. The client answers questions about personal preferences, and the broker tells them what instruments are appropriate for investment.

What’s not? The broker finds out how much a person is willing to risk their money in the stock market and recommends securities based on that. But personal risk appetite has nothing to do with the investor’s goals, because there can be several of them. For example, to find a substitute for a deposit and to invest in bonds and at the same time to speculate in stocks. Suppose a client is given a moderate risk profile and offered to buy the most popular stocks of large companies. The investor is inexperienced in trading and buys the stocks offered by the binary options broker and they fall in value. The client understands that this is not what he needs and leaves the market disappointed. His fears are confirmed.

What to do? Such an approach is unprofitable for a broker in the long run. In order for newcomers to become loyal customers, improve their financial literacy, and, over time, make more trades, they need to be offered what they want from the beginning. To do this, instead of risk appetite, it’s better to find out the client’s goals. There can be many of them. For example, one part of the capital is for saving for retirement, another for experimenting with stocks and IPOs.

Manual trades instead of automatic ones

What’s wrong?

Beginning investors are far from financial markets. In most cases, they want a mixture of independent decisions and trust management. Part of this problem is solved by exchange-traded investment funds, which offer to buy a part of a ready-made portfolio. But this format is not always suitable for investors: they may have other goals.

What to do?

A broker can offer a ready portfolio of instruments that match the client’s goal and capital. The user may accept, reject or switch securities. The portfolio can be assembled automatically. For example, the client transfers a part of his salary once a month and the broker offers him to buy securities from the list that the user has confirmed in advance. One-click – the transactions on the list are made.

How to choose the best broker for yourself?

eToro™ Invest
OANDA
Forex Broker – Axi
IG
AvaTrade

On https://tradersunion.com/ website recommends paying attention to the following company parameters in order to choose the best broker for your needs:

Licenses,
Trading conditions,
Customer support,
Reviews of traders.

Increasing anxiety instead of calming

What’s wrong? Maybe the client will make a few rash trades and bring the broker a commission. But if the application is associated with unpleasant excitement, the user will soon not want to return to it.

How to fix it? The solution is to allow the investor to customize the interface himself. For example, remove the charts from the main screen and allow the person to disable the “rise and fall” arrows in the list of securities in the settings.

Review

I started investing about six months ago and completely disagree with the article. The points described did not bother me at all, and they are somewhere at the end of the list.

If a person is investing, he should clearly understand what it is and be prepared for drawdowns, should make his own decision on what to buy, etc.

Redesign of Call Tracking App: Ways to Get More App Downloads

The main purpose of call tracking software is to help business owners track existing and potential customers, strengthening their relationship with them. Since it gives you complete background information on callers (how they found out about your company, for instance), you are more likely to get your sales pitch right.

Among other things, a quality call tracking app provides information about the effectiveness of your advertising campaigns, allowing you to assess the return on your investment and overall strategy. Nevertheless, business owners are faced with a drop in the effectiveness of such software from time to time. When this happens, there are not too many options on the table. You have to decide whether you want to rebuild the software, throw it away, or try to redesign it. The latter seems more appropriate.

In this article, you will find the best call tracking app solutions which will increase the number of its downloads. Besides, it will positively affect your interactions with existing and new customers. There is so much to learn about how to redesign your product.

Reasons for the Call Tracking Apps Redesign

No matter how perfect your product is, it needs to be updated in due time. So, if you are thinking of a phone call tracking app redesign, it should be done for one or more of the following reasons.

Customers express dissatisfaction through support requests and/or feedback.
You are going to add new features and solutions that may break the existing design.
The call tracking metrics are dwindling down.
You haven’t updated the software in months and want to do so to attract potential customers.
You have a call tracking app for Android and/or iOS and want to use the latest OS software updates.

There are enough reasons to update the app. However, each of them entails a different amount of work and investment, so you should answer yourself why you want it and what results you expect.

Simple Steps to the App’s Redesign

Depending on your lead management, strategy and goals, a redesign can range in scale from logo replacement to significant changes in call tracking software functionality. Obviously, the process can be quite extensive. Here are a few steps to update your app, increase its downloads, attract new customers, and achieve other goals.

Step #1: Analyze the Existing Design

Having decided to change something about your call tracking metrics app, focus on the existing UX design. What’s wrong with it? What part of it do users complain about most? What solutions exist? Processing users’ feedback from the App Store and Play Store is a must. By analyzing them, you will identify the most critical problems. Moreover, users can even point out details you didn’t know about.

How to make it more effective? When launching a call tracking app, make sure it includes analytics, be it Mixpanel or Google Analytics. This is necessary to find out at what point users abandon the software or what their overall experience is.

Step #2: Think of the Solutions

Having identified the weaknesses of your phone call tracking application, it’s time to think about the solutions you want to use. At this stage, you should keep in mind all the things that will make your product more popular, convenient, and visually appealing.

App’s icon. This is the first thing users see before they get to know your business. As they scroll through the store page, your product should be attractive and recognizable.
Name and description. With these two, you can get the user to download your app or close the page. Take care of the title and description beforehand.
UX/UI design. By offering a user-friendly and visually appealing call tracking app iPhone/Android devices, people will download it regularly. No matter what service you offer, the content should be structured, and the information should be tangibly accessible.
Additional features. This list can include popups and various notifications if you want users to be informed about all updates. But it’s important to keep a balance. Your app must not turn into a spam sender. Otherwise, it will be quickly removed from the user’s device.

Following the recommendations above will greatly improve your software, leading to more downloads. You will see positive dynamics and results every time you go through the call tracking metrics login. As Steve Jobs once said, “People never know what they need until you show it to them.” Give them a quality product, and they will download it.

Step #3: Implement the Redesign Solutions

Once you’ve approved the details you want to change and the solutions you want to add, it’s time to move on to the next step. Now your team of experts can implement them in your call tracking software. Depending on the tasks at hand, the process might involve programmers, a UX/UI designer, a QA tester, and others who will make your product better.

Once the last detail is tested, and you are sure the product works smoothly, offer it to users. If it is a call tracking iPhone app, add it to the App Store, while the same software for Android devices should be added to the Play Store.

And while most of the work is done, you should track users’ behavior and feedback after launching the redesigned app. Check out Mixpanel and similar tools to stay informed. This allows you to gauge your progress by the number of downloads and deletions of the software.

Final Thoughts

If you’re worried about business results or just want to make your product more recognizable, you’re on the right path. By taking three simple steps, you’ll dramatically improve your results by updating an app that will be downloaded thousands of times. The most important thing is to detect current problems and offer effective solutions. After that, any sales call tracking app will become popular on the App Store or Play Store platforms.

Mobile App vs Mobile Website: Which is Best for Your Business?

No doubt, nowadays, the IT world calls for mobile solutions. Both mobile app and mobile site have their advantages and disadvantages.

But what is best for a particular type of business? We’ll try to explain.

In this essay, we will try to give an unbiased review of the arguments that we have deduced for ourselves by trial and attempts to reach the best method of development, as much as possible. It will be arguments, which, we hope, will help you decide which platform you should choose in development projects: mobile app or mobile website. And in the end – we will try to systematize the writing, so it can be easily used in the future.

For whom this article will be useful? If you are an aspiring startup or already established business (though perhaps you are a company that is trying to understand how the things go or just maybe want to convert the mobile site to app), then this article fits the bill – you will find a vast deal of useful information here. And, of course, responsible for a “mobile app vs mobile website” question.

Web app vs mobile app. The beginning

In order to fully immerse into the subject and come to an understanding of the issue globally, let’s think about why we start thinking about such things and what is the difference between app and website?

The trend is that the number of mobile users (people who surf sites using smartphones or tablets) on various resources grows geometrically – ie there are more and more new users daily. This means that most of your site’s or service audience now comes to with a portable device.

This is where the question arises: what to do, to please the audience, so that everyone feels comfortable – both desktop and mobile users? Create a native mobile application, or take a course on the mobile web?

This contributes to the popularization and accessibility of smartphones, mobile Internet, and public wi-fi. But do not ignore the modern pace of life, which doesn’t let get you bored. So today, for many people, it’s easier and more convenient to go online from mobile devices.

App vs Mobile Site: How to choose?

It is important to remember that there is no ideal solution for all appearing questions. Like this – both methods have advantages and disadvantages and are used to achieve certain goals. Speaking about the relevance, it is worth noting that these decisions will be a trend in the near future, and in it would be not entirely correct to oppose one another because both solutions have their right to exist and are covering different tasks.

Today it is assumed that there are two ways to build custom implementation of the project: to design native application or mobile website. Each of the aforementioned approaches of site or service optimization has both pros and cons, therefore, it is extremely important to carefully analyze them to choose the best option for the task at hand.

Examples

For example, mobile website can only provide users with relevant content in a more convenient way for mobile use, while the overall functionality of both versions of the site can either be the same or different. But the native business mobile application can perform completely independent tasks, which may differ from the functionality and design of the site.

What is a mobile website. For ease of understanding, let us assume that a mobile website is a specialized site, adapted or designed for viewing and use on your mobile device. The site may include interactive components using different frameworks or different browser integrations. Such implementation is called the web application. To avoid confusion, we will assume that any option that runs through the mobile browser is a mobile website.

And, within this article, let’s think that the development under any of the existing mobile operating systems – is a mobile application.

Looking at the provided facts, the first conclusions suggest themselves. Namely, if it’s necessary to “share” ready-made functionality of the service without changing it, but merely adapt it for mobile users, then you should choose the best mobile version. Conversely, if a particular content is required, or in some extended functions, it is necessary to look towards the mobile application. Simple, right? Let’s proceed to another app vs website cases.

Difference between app and website (Pros and Cons)

Since we dealt with the “formal” issues, let’s look at some pros and cons, which also affect the choice of one option and may significantly outweigh some of the opposite arguments.

• Development (design) complexity

Both options can be difficult to develop, it all depends on the desired result, the level of quality of the product and the required functions. But often mobile website development is easier and faster (though it has limited features) while app development requires several versions for each platform and therefore has higher cost.

• Maintenance and support

We can say that at this point the advantage is on the mobile site’s side because the support and application update requires more time and testing resources. But again, it all depends on the individual case.

• Functionality

And here the application wins unconditionally. Mobile website doesn’t have any OS ecosystem rules while apps can operate system’s built-in features and hardware. If you need to perform any action with user’s device hardware (GPS, NFC, camera etc), the clear choice is to develop a native application.

• Purpose

The mobile version of your website can be accessed (and probably already focused) for existing and future users because it requires no installation. What cannot be said about the application. On the other hand, users find apps safer than websites, due to app store approval rules.

Mobile app vs Mobile website

Summarizing all the above, we present a small table where you can quickly peek some of these points, for quick decision-making, or weighing the facts for or instead the web app vs mobile app.

How to choose between mobile app and mobile site?

Coming a long way from the beginning to the end of the article, you probably already have identified the difference between these two types of representation services for mobile users for yourself. We agree that the issue is rather complex and ambiguous since the final choice may depend on many factors and there is a huge number of followers of both mobile applications and mobile websites.

VisionOS Engineer Skills: Navigating the Future of Immersive Technology

I had a great time watching Apple’s presentation this year. Judging by my Twitter feed, the apple company’s new platform made a huge impression on many people.

As we step into the era of augmented reality (AR) and spatial computing, it’s important to understand what skills engineers need to thrive in this new environment. One such platform paving the way for these advancements is Apple’s visionOS, a revolutionary operating system that fully integrates augmented reality into our daily digital experiences.

Immersive Game Development: Utilizing the capabilities of visionOS to create unique gaming experiences is an important aspect of spatial computing and AR.
Sound Design: Sound plays a significant role in creating immersive experiences in AR. Developers should be proficient in using spatial audio to enhance the realism of virtual environments.
SwiftUI and RealityKit Proficiency: Understanding and effectively using tools like SwiftUI and RealityKit are crucial for developing apps for visionOS.
Experience with ARKit: Having experience with ARKit can smooth the transition to developing for visionOS and enable efficient leveraging of its capabilities.
Design for Therapy and Rehabilitation: Understanding how to use immersive experiences for therapeutic and rehabilitative purposes is critical for health-focused app development.
Integration with SharePlay: Being capable of integrating SharePlay for collaborative work or support in a virtual environment can greatly enhance user experiences.
Development for VisionOS: With the availability of the visionOS SDK, developers should be ready to innovate and bring their unique ideas to life on this new platform.
Mastering New Frameworks: Developers need to adapt and learn new frameworks like SwiftUI and RealityKit to fully exploit the potential of visionOS.

This article explores the skills required to excel as a visionOS engineer, from mastering specific technical knowledge to understanding the subtleties of immersive design.

Understanding Spatial Interaction

The ability to create apps controlled by hands and eyes is a key requirement for a visionOS developer. One example of this is the work done by Algoriddim, the company behind the Apple Design Award-winning app, djay. Their team created a version of djay for Apple Vision Pro, which can be entirely controlled by eyes and hands. This skill is becoming increasingly crucial as we move towards more immersive and intuitive forms of interaction.

Immersive Game Development

Spatial computing opens up novel possibilities for game development. A visionOS engineer working on gaming applications should have the creativity and inventiveness to utilize the capabilities of visionOS to create unique challenges. This innovative approach to game development is exemplified by Ryan McLeod, creator of the Apple Design Award-winning puzzle game Blackbox, which is known for its clever use of iPhone’s sensors and inputs.

Mastering Sound Design

In the world of AR, sound plays a critical role in creating an immersive experience. Developers should have a firm grasp of using spatial audio, a technology that gives the impression of sound moving around in three-dimensional space. This form of audio design enhances immersion and contributes to the realism of the virtual environment.

Proficiency with SwiftUI and RealityKit

Even if a developer is new to 3D modeling or RealityKit, a quick learning ability and adaptability to new tools are vital. SwiftUI and RealityKit are crucial frameworks for developing apps for visionOS. Ryan McLeod, despite his initial trepidation about a platform switch, was able to swiftly grasp and utilize these tools.

Experience with ARKit

Previous experience with ARKit can greatly ease the transition to visionOS. Teams like JigSpace, which had used ARKit extensively in their apps, found that they could efficiently leverage its capabilities to create new experiences on visionOS.

Design for Therapy and Rehabilitation

For developers working on health-focused apps, understanding how to use the immersion experience to assist people is critical. This approach is exemplified by the XRHealth team, who used visionOS to design therapeutic experiences for various conditions such as phobias and physical rehabilitation.

Integration with SharePlay

Developers should be capable of integrating SharePlay to allow people to work together or receive support from a virtual therapist. This feature can greatly enhance user experiences in education, collaboration, and therapy.

Development for VisionOS

When the visionOS SDK is available, developers should be ready to download Xcode and start creating their own apps and games. This opens up a vast playground for developers to bring their innovative ideas to life.

Mastering New Frameworks

Developers should learn to work with new frameworks such as SwiftUI, RealityKit, and understand how they impact app development for visionOS. By mastering these frameworks, developers will be equipped to take full advantage of the opportunities that visionOS offers.

Conclusion

The advent of visionOS presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities for developers. Engineers skilled in spatial interaction, sound design, the use of innovative frameworks, and more, will find themselves at the forefront of this technological evolution. As we continue to explore and understand this new platform, developers who equip themselves with these skills will be able to push the boundaries of immersive technology and shape the future of augmented reality.

Understanding the Total Cost of Ownership in Software Acquisition

When acquiring software for your business, it’s essential to not only consider the initial purchase price but also the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). The TCO includes every expense involved in buying, implementing, using, and maintaining the software over its life cycle.

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) refers to the cumulative costs associated with the development, implementation, maintenance, and usage of the software or app throughout its lifecycle. This includes the initial development or acquisition costs, hardware and software maintenance, system upgrades, user training, technical support, and even costs related to downtime or potential loss of productivity. Evaluating TCO offers a comprehensive understanding of not only the direct costs, but also hidden or indirect expenses, providing a clearer picture of the actual total investment. (TCO Framework: Ellram, L.M. (1993), “A Framework for Total Cost of Ownership”, The International Journal of Logistics Management, Vol. 4 No. 2, pp. 49-60.)

Let’s explore why it’s crucial to calculate the TCO of software acquisition.

Uncovering Hidden Costs

The sticker price of software is often just the tip of the iceberg. There can be numerous hidden costs, including those associated with installation, customization, training, maintenance, upgrades, and licensing. Understanding these costs upfront helps you make a more informed decision and prevents budget overruns.

Comparing Solutions Effectively

By calculating the TCO, you can compare different software solutions more effectively. You may find that while one software has a lower upfront cost, its TCO may be higher due to costs associated with maintenance and upgrades.

Budgeting and Planning

Knowing the TCO assists in long-term budgeting and planning. If the software requires substantial ongoing costs, it could impact your organization’s budget and financial planning.

Assessing Value for Money

TCO helps in assessing whether the software provides value for money. By considering all costs and comparing them with the benefits the software provides, you can determine if the investment is worthwhile.

Evaluating Vendor Support Costs

Different vendors offer varying levels of support, often at different price points. Calculating TCO involves considering these support costs, which is crucial because good vendor support can greatly impact the software’s effectiveness and longevity.

As TurnKey Labs often points out to its clients, calculating the TCO is an essential step in software acquisition. It provides a clearer picture of the investment involved and can save your business from unexpected costs down the line.

Key Takeaways:

Uncovering Hidden Costs: Calculating TCO uncovers hidden costs related to installation, maintenance, training, and more.
Comparing Solutions Effectively: TCO allows for an apples-to-apples comparison of different software solutions.
Budgeting and Planning: Understanding the TCO helps with long-term financial planning and budgeting.
Assessing Value for Money: TCO helps determine if a software solution provides good value for its cost.
Evaluating Vendor Support Costs: Consideration of vendor support costs is part of the TCO and can impact the overall effectiveness of the software.

Remember the old saying, “The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.” It holds true when considering the TCO in software acquisition.

Soon You’ll Be Able to Make Your Own Video With AI

Cameo is a platform that allows users to book personalized video messages from celebrities and influencers. While AI tools have the potential to disrupt many industries and services, it is unlikely that they would kill services like Cameo. Here’s why:

Personalization: One of the primary benefits of services like Cameo is that they provide personalized messages from celebrities to their fans. AI tools, while capable of generating content, are not capable of delivering the same level of personalization as a human celebrity. AI-generated messages may lack the emotional resonance and connection that fans feel when receiving a message from their favorite celebrity.
Celebrity Endorsement: The value of services like Cameo also lies in the endorsement of the celebrities themselves. Fans are often willing to pay a premium for a message from a celebrity they admire or follow. AI tools cannot replicate the same level of endorsement and credibility that comes with a personalized message from a celebrity.
Limited Applications: AI tools are best suited for generating content that is repetitive or routine in nature. While they can be used to generate messages, they may not be able to replicate the creativity and spontaneity that is often associated with a personalized message from a celebrity. This limits their applications in areas like entertainment, where fans are looking for a unique and memorable experience.

Overall, while AI tools may disrupt certain industries and services, it is unlikely that they will kill services like Cameo. The value of personalized messages from celebrities and influencers lies in their emotional resonance and connection with fans, which cannot be replicated by AI-generated content.

Most Popular Source Code Hosting Services in 2023

Nowadays, there are a lot of source code hosting services to choose from — all having their pros and cons. The challenge, however, is to pick the one that will fit your needs best because the price is not the only factor that should be considered.

In this article, we’ll take a look at the key features of the most popular source code hosting facilities to help you make a wise decision. But first let’s take a brief look at what source code hosting service is because, as we see, there are some confusion about this term.

What is a source-code Hosting Service?

In short, source code hosting services or simply source code managers (SCM) are the services for projects that use different version-control systems (VCS). The latter ones are also sometimes referred to as “version control tools”.

Basically, a VCS is software and, in general, its main task is to allow programmers to track the revisions of a code in course of software development. Such revisions may be shared among all the team members so everyone can see who made a particular change and when. The list of the most popular version control tools includes Git, Mercurial, and Subversion.

At the same time, a source code manager is not software, it’s service. To put it more simply, it’s a space to upload copies of source code repositories (i.e. storage location for one project). Unlike version control systems which are just command lines, source code hosting service provides a graphical interface.

Without a source code manager, the work on a software development project would be difficult if possible at all.

GitHub

The choice of SCM is not accidental. Because if you ever ask someone what is a source code hosting service, Github will probably be the first thing they’ll start talking about. And it’s no wonder: it is ranked No.38, according to the Moz’s list of the top 500 websites.

Here are the key benefits of GitHub:

free for open-source projects
contains wiki, a platform for sharing hosting documentation
has an integrated issues tracking system
makes it possible to receive and issue contributions to projects
has a well-developed help section with guides and articles
has gists, a service for turning files into git repositories
has GitHub pages that host static websites
allows for convenient code review (in-context comments, review requests etc.)
has embedded project management features (task boards, milestones etc.)
offers team management tools (integration with Asana)

The above list contains only the most essential advantages of GitHub for you to understand why this source code hosting service is so popular among programmers. Yet, there is a risk that the great era of GitHub will soon come to its end. In October 2018, it was acquired by Microsoft and this raised some concerns among developers. But we’ll see.

Prices:

free – for open-source projects
$7 per month – for individual developers
$9 per user/month – for teams
$21 per user/month – for businesses (either business cloud or installed on a server)

GitLab

GitLab is also one of the handiest source code hosting services. As of today, it has fewer users than GitHub but does its best to conquer developers’ hearts. If you’ve ever used each of these host platforms for code repositories, you might have noticed that GitLab looks and feels like GitHub in many aspects. Yet, it also has some features the latter is lacking, so we may not say that GitLab significantly lags behind it in terms of functionality.

Speaking about main GitLab advantages, they are the following:

an open-source software
can be installed on your server
contains wiki and issue tracking functionality
has a user-friendly interface
has integrated CI/CD
comes with a deployment platform (Kubernetes)
allows for exporting projects to other systems
convenient for Scrum teams since it provides burndown charts as a part of milestones and allows teams to manage issues using Agile practices
has time-tracking features

It’s worth mentioning that GitLab also offers a convenient and easy migration from GitHub. So if you’re among those who feel uncomfortable about Microsoft’s acquisition of GitHub, GitLab would be the best option for you.

Prices:

Free – for open-source projects, private projects
$4 per user/month – Bronze plan
$19 per user/month – Silver plan
$99 per user/month – Gold plan

BitBucket

BitBucket is also a widely-used source code management tool and it’s a common second choice of many programmers (after GitHub). There are currently two versions of BitBucket: a cloud version hosted by Atlassian and a server version.

The main benefits of BitBucket are:

free private source code repositories (up to 5 users)
supports both Git and Mercurial (unlike GitHub and GitLab that can host only Git projects)
integrates with Jira and other popular Atlassian tools
allows for convenient code review (inline comments, pull requests)
advanced semantic search
supports Git Large File Storage (LFS)
has integrated CI/CD, wikis and issue tracking (only cloud versions)
offers team management tools (embedded Trello boards)

On top of this, BitBucket allows for external authentication with Facebook, Google and Twitter which makes this source code hosting service even more convenient for developers. It’s not as similar to GitHub as GitLab, but you can also easily migrate from GitHub to BitBucket.

Prices:

Free – for small teams (up to 5 users)
$2 per user/month – for growing teams (starts at $10)
$5 per user/month – for large teams (starts at $25)

SourceForge

SourceForge is one of the most well-known free host platforms for code repositories. It works only for open-source software development projects, but we could not ignore it in this article because SourceForge was of the first tools of this kind. Actually, before GitHub was even “born”, SourceForge already topped the market.

Why you may want to choose SourceForge for your project? Well, here are its main strengths:

free for open-source projects
supports Git, Mercurial, and Subversion
offers the issue tracking functionality
offers an easy download of project packages
allows for hosting of both — static and dynamic pages
Has a huge directory of open-source projects
does not restrict the number of individual projects

The main downside of SourceForge is that it’s not very flexible and can be used only for open-source projects. So when it comes to the private app or web development, this source code manager is usually not even on the list.

Prices: the service is Free.

Wrap-up

In this source code management tools comparison, we outlined most widely used or promising services. Of course, there are a lot of other similar solutions which you may also consider for your app or web development project. But if you don’t have time for deep research, as professional software developers, we may recommend Github or Gitlab vs Git. These platforms are considered the best code hosting services since they are quite versatile and can satisfy a wide range of programming needs.

Making a Music Streaming App: Going Through All the Essentials

Our music perception and its importance significantly raised recently. And music streaming services contributed to this a lot.

All ever-known music pieces became much more accessible. You can listen to anything comfortably and receive a lot of joy.

Creating a service like this is very convenient and may lead to great success. This post will help you learn about all essentials and possible challenges during music streaming app development.

Basics About Streaming Services Industry

The industry’s popularity is based on consumers’ primary comfort. You no longer have to download and pay for every song or album. Instead, you can listen to anything you like for a comparatively low price.

Such personalized services can develop a unique playlist for each user.

For example, Spotify has the best machine-learning algorithms, which can impress some users with its accuracy. It can provide you with a playlist of songs you’d most likely appreciate by analyzing tons of similar compositions.

Thanks to such exciting features, Spotify takes over 36% of the music streaming audience.

Other popular services like Apple Music and YouTube Music also have authentication features.

Besides high-quality records, Apple Music allows its users to connect and listen to local radio.

While YouTube Music itself is an extended feature of YouTube, here is gathered all songs, albums, and video clips uploaded by artists on YouTube. YouTube Music has a separate app.

Anyway, there is a huge variety of successful options. But let’s see how to create your own app.

Strategy and Hints to Make a Music Streaming App

To exclude confusion, let’s learn some fundamental aspects for a smoother development of such solutions.

Form an Experienced Team

It’ll require a lot of effort. Experienced specialists will help you to delegate multiple tasks and make the process easier.

Outsourcing app development is a convenient way to find a well-qualified team. This will help significantly reduce final costs and increase the number of developers with solid skill sets.

Usually, offshore outsourcing companies provide the latest technology stack.

Classification of Music Services

There are several types of streaming services, and some functionalities may differ:

You can develop a server-based music library, allowing customers to access it under your rules( for free or by paid subscription).
Another type allows users to store their audio. Users also can have access anytime they want and stream it on various platforms.
The final type involves adding radio stations into an app. Specific themes classify radio stations, and the range is also quite broad.

Anyway, we will overview the building process of server library service.

Proper Licensing

Here music app development shares similarities with live-streaming app development, as direct work with copyright and intellectual property is applied in both cases.

You must care for streaming content according to all rights and guidelines as an owner. Therefore, having Public Performance Rights is crucial. However, skipping this step is not recommended to avoid gaining huge penalties.

In the US, you can negotiate with BMI or ASCAP. However, in Europe, contact SESAC.

What About Data Storage?

Two ways to store your data exist.

You can create your storage space using a back-end server with the help of your developers.

But an option of streaming from completed SoundCloud or Spotify catalogs is still available.

Decide What Platform To Use

It is recommended to engage both (iOS and Android apps) to obtain more users and remain competitive.

But if you still wait to be ready to spread on two platforms but want to stay highly demanded – examine the popularity of both among your potential users.

MVP Version

A Minimal Viable Product(MVP) is a brilliant way to introduce your product to an audience quickly. It’s a version of the software with only essential features to understand its basic capabilities and start obtaining users.

This method will show the user’s general interest and help develop the first app version on a required budget.

Must-Have Features

As we learned earlier, the MVP contains the minimum to make an app usable. Here are some of these:

Registration. It’s the primary aspect of every application. Make this fast and easy. You can implement signup via email, phone numbers, or social networks. Adding the “Forgot your password?” feature will help attach more users;
Player. Besides basics like ‘play and ’pause’ buttons, let users create their playlists, mark ‘favorites’ among creators, etc.
Search. It’s a tool to find artists, albums, etc. It’s good to include suggestions to simplify the user’s experience;
Settings. Insert an ability to set custom audio or personal settings;
My playlists/My Music. Users can view their saved tracks, formed playlists, or albums here. Also, it is convenient to let consumers share songs over social media.

Of course, moderate your product and develop its design.

It’s vital to include an administration panel. One for both apps will be enough to manage subscriptions and more.

As for design, take advantage of UI/UX. Keep being simple and bright here as well.

Developers Team and Technologies Stack

As mentioned, implementing your music streaming app idea without a professional team is hard. See the list of all the members below:

Project manager
Business analyst
Ui/UX designer
Developers for iOS, Android, or both
Back-end developers
QA engineer

Analyzing competitors’ experience to determine essential tools makes sense.

Spotify uses Python and Java as a programming code cortex, Cassandra and PostgreSQL as a database, Nginx server, Google BigQuery, and Amazon S3 as cloud storage.

Total Cost of Developing Music Service

We’ve established the key factors. And still, it’s essential to realize that the cost of MVP is significantly lower than the development of a full-fledged version.

The cost to build a music streaming platform, including all previously listed experts’ work processes, varies from $88,250 to $150,850. But the price may differ depending on the type of cooperation, the complexity of the app design, and more.

Monetization of a Music Streaming Service

Finally, how to monetize your application correctly?

Most services use three major monetization models: Freemium, Advertisement, and Subscription.

Freemium means you give users access to a certain amount of functionality for free but offer to receive more by getting a subscription.
Offering a subscription model implies that users follow different types of payments (for a month or a year) for unlimited listening.
YouTube Music employs the advertisement model the most. It plays ads before listening to tracks (in the free version).

However, Spotify may be considered a marketplace for creators. It presents the artist’s music to people who prefer a similar genre.

Summing Up

The music services industry is very prospective. Yes, it takes some time to create it and start having a considerable profit. However, this direction will be relevant for a long time.

So, feel free to take on this venture, and hopefully, this post will help you in further creation.

Developing Digital Gaming Platforms

The gaming industry has undergone explosive growth over the past few years, with the global market now predicted to reach up to $300 billion by 2025. The growth of gaming has largely been driven by the increasing popularity of digital gaming platforms. From console and PC games to mobile apps, these platforms provide a variety of immersive gaming experiences to players worldwide.

Developing a digital gaming platform is a complex process that requires careful consideration of several key factors. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at some of the technicalities behind creating a digital gaming platform, as well as some specific things to keep in mind for different types of gaming genres.

What Goes Into Gaming Platforms?

One of the first things to consider when developing a digital gaming platform is the type of gaming experience the platform will offer. Nowadays, there are several different genres of game, each with its own unique requirements. For example, action games require fast-paced gameplay and realistic graphics, while puzzle games require attractive designs and engaging mechanics.

Furthermore, some of the more complex gaming genres, such as iGaming, have additional requirements when it comes to things like gaming software. A developer building a real money gaming platform needs to integrate electronic slot machine mechanics in the form of random number generators.

Building for Gaming Devices

Another important consideration is the way in which a gaming platform will be accessed and played. For instance, will the digital games be available on PC, console, mobile devices or all three? Each medium has its own limitations as to what it can run, meaning that a cross-play gaming platform will need to be optimised for the different mediums in order to provide the best possible gaming experiences.

Even platforms for use on single devices will need to be designed and developed with that in mind. Things to take note of during the developmental process include screen size, controls (touch screen, joypads, keyboard and mouse etc.) and even battery life.

A lot of the work involved in building gaming platforms for different devices is solved by the technology that’s being used. Plenty of top developers use game engines such as Unity or Unreal Engine to create their output, while others build their own engines from scratch. The choice of technology will depend on the type of game in development, as well as the skills and expertise of the development team.

Throughout each stage of the process, user experience also needs to be taken into account. In order to be successful in such a competitive marketplace, all gaming platforms need to provide a seamless and intuitive experience for gamers. This means investing in UX design at the development stage, covering everything from gameplay to user interfaces.

Data and Privacy

As well as the technical side, there are also several legal and regulatory considerations when developing a digital gaming platform. Going back to iGaming, for example, it’s imperative that operators comply with all the relevant gaming regulations and they have the appropriate licenses and permits to operate.

Anyone launching a gaming platform also needs to consider the implications of data privacy and security. Even free-to-play gaming platforms will collect sensitive information from gamers, such as their personal information, while platforms that allow players to purchase games or play with real money will need to securely process payment details. Compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR is an absolute must.

Monetisation Methods

Last but by no means least, it’s also important to think about how a gaming platform will be monetised. There are several different monetisation models available, including subscription-based models, paid downloads and, in the case of mobile, the freemium model, which is characterised by being free to play with in-app purchases.

Each model has its own unique advantages and disadvantages, meaning creators need to choose the one that best fits their target audience. Of course, it’s also possible to move to a different monetisation method after it has been running for a period of time.

Best 360 Camera Apps for iPhone and Android

Nowadays we are surrounded by content. We scroll newsfeed, we browse websites, we see ads on the streets, we listen to the radio and watch TV. Our brain gets used to processing the enormous amount of information and it “smoothes” the majority of things we see otherwise our heads would become overloaded.

It’s hard to capture someone’s attention in this madness. But quick-witted marketers don’t give up and invent new types of content each day.

So, the new engaging technology of 360 videos and photo is finally here! Of course, special tools are required to create such content, so we can see the splash of new apps and cameras for panoramic images.

Top 3 best 360 panorama apps for iOS and Android

Best Chinese App Stores

China is a leading country in the development of the mobile economy. Therefore, mobile apps are an essential tool for doing business and promoting brands in China. However, due to strict legislation, Google Play store app, the most popular app store in Europe and America, is banned in China. In this case, there are many Chinese app stores for Android devices on the Chinese market. In this article, we will tell you about the top Chinese app stores and methods to use the features of China’s mobile economy for promotion in mainland China.

Mobile Economy in China

China’s digital economy has been an actively growing sector in recent years. For example, according to GSMA Intelligence’s report, mobile technologies have generated about $890 billion in 2021, or 5.6% of China’s GDP, it is predicted that the value added of the mobile industry will be nearly $960 billion in 2025.

In 2021, the number of mobile app users was 1.22 billion, which is 83% of China’s population, by the end of 2025 it will reach 1.26 billion users (84% of the population). At the same time, more and more Chinese consumers are switching to 5G, making China one of the world’s leading countries in this field: China’s share of 5G connections in the world is 75%, it is predicted that there will be about 892 million additional 5G connections by the end of 2025.

Nowadays China has a highly developed infrastructure for the mobile economy. However, China’s Internet is largely controlled by the government, so many foreign applications are banned in China, making it a unique mobile app market. This applies not only to apps, but also to mobile app stores.

There are two app stores, the most popular outside of China – Apple’s App Store for IOS and Google Play for a mobile phone running Google’s Android operating system. For IOS devices, there is a Chinese version of Apple’s App Store in China that is available to Chinese users, although some applications on this store are still blocked in the PRC. In general, Apple’s IOS App Store in China retains all the main features of the Apple App Store abroad.

However, Google Play store, which is one of the leading android app stores for mobile apps outside of China, is blocked in the PRC, so Chinese digital companies such as Tencent and electronics manufacturers such as Huawei or Xiaomi are developing their own Chinese android app stores to compete effectively on Chinese app market. There are different Android app stores in China, we have reviewed the major app stores below.

Top app stores in China

Huawei AppGallery (华为应用市场)

Huawei App Store is the largest Chinese app store for Android apps distribution, MAU are about 421.8 million users, DAU are 58.3 million, and the market share among other Chinese app stores is the largest – 44.31%. Huawei is a leading Chinese consumer electronics company and mobile communications company. It launched its own Huawei app market store in 2011, and now Huawei AppGallery is a default store installed on all Huawei mobile devices in China.

OPPO App Store (OPPO软件商店)

OPPO is a company owned by BBK Electronics, which is a premium segment consumer electronics manufacturer. Since 2008, OPPO has been producing mobile devices, it started to enter foreign markets in 2013 and extremely increased the number of VIVO phones sold abroad. In order to earn money on the China mobile app market, the company introduced its own Chinese app store, which intensively attracts app developers and deploy a wide number of android apps categories including free apps, paid apps, professional business apps, messaging apps, etc. The market share of the China app store is nearly 17.22%, the number of monthly active users are 163.9 million, daily active users are 35.1 million people.

VIVO App Store (VIVO应用商店)

VIVO is another company owned by BBK Electronics, which specializes in the production of smartphones, research and development in the field of mobile services, online services for android developers and users, etc. Since 2011, the company has been producing mobile devices and has seven factories in East and South Asia. VIVO App Store is a default app store installed on devices produced by the VIVO company. It controls nearly 17.22% of the China app stores market, MAU are 163.9 million and DAU are 35 million people.

Tencent Appstore (腾讯应用宝)

Tencent MyApp App Store is another popular Chinese app store: the market share of the Android app store is 16.39%, MAU are 156 million and DAU are about 32.2 million people. Tencent is the largest digital ecosystem in China in terms of capitalization volume. Although the scope of the company’s activities is related to social network and communication, Tencent obtains a significant share of the mobile apps market and uses the opportunities of its ecosystem to promote the service.

Xiaomi GetApps (小米应用商店)

Xiaomi app store is the fifth largest Chinese mobile application store in terms of market share and active users: the share is 10.27% and MAU are 97.8 million people. Xiaomi is one of the largest mobile phone manufacturers and producers of other electronic devices. Today, Xiaomi’s mobile phones ship to Asian and European countries, and in twelve of them, Xiaomi is the leader in smartphone sales in the local market. The company has developed its own android firmware – the MIUI operating system based on Android for its devices. Xiaomi Getapps is an official app store installed as the default store on Xiaomi smartphones and gets all the features related to Google Play.

How to promote your apps in China?

After determining the major Chinese application stores, you should think about app marketing and the promotion channels of your apps on the Chinese market. First, your app must meet the necessary requirements, for example, related to Chinese licensing laws – obtaining a Chinese business license (营业执照) and a developer license (软件著作权证明), connecting to a local hosting provider, etc. Then, deploying applications on the most popular app stores gives you the opportunity to use app store optimization tools, built-in promotional tools, such as pre-rolls, banner ads, and other tools available in the developer account, etc.

In addition, you can use popular Chinese Internet marketing tools such as:

Baidu: a popular web browser in China; if you have a Chinese website, you can launch SEO campaigns and Baidu Ads options; it is also possible to work with Baidu applications such as Baidu Zhidao, Baidu Baike, etc. to improve SEO and promote your brand in China.
WeChat: the largest Chinese social network; you can set up a WeChat account to promote your apps through consistent communication with a target audience, launch a sales funnel, and set up WeChat ads.
Douyin: a popular short-video platform in China that provides opportunities to communicate with consumers in an interactive format, launch Douyin ads in the application, etc.

Conclusions

All in all, due to the limitations of the Chinese Internet, combined with the blocking of Google’s Play Store and some Google Play Market apps, other leading Chinese companies, both digital (such as Tencent) and manufacturing (such as Huawei), are developing their own app stores in China. Apart from the stores we mentioned, there are many other alternative app stores such as PP Assistant – a Chinese app store developed by Chinese tech giant Alibaba, 360 Mobile Assistant developed by a famous Chinese internet security company Qihoo 360, ZTE App Store, China Mobile MM Store, Baidu Mobile Assistant, etc. Brands interested in promoting apps on the Chinese market should focus on these stores and the marketing tools available for promotion in China.

Top 5 Things to Learn from Telegram Success

You have probably already heard of this application as about most successful startup in IT currently. Actually, Telegram success story is way more interesting than the numbers, figures and capitalization. It’s all about people.

Why Telegram is better than any other messaging app?

Founded in 2013, Pavel Durov’s startup attracts more and more users. Lots of people remove other messengers in favor of Telegram – they simply don’t need any other app for communication. So why Telegram is better?

First of all, security. Telegram uses MTProto protocol to encrypt user data and besides, there’s a huge bonus to all privacy fans: cloud data storing and end-to-end encryption by request. The most known security-providing feature of this app is a two-layered encryption system which keeps user data private and safe forever from anyone, even the government. Fun fact: to confirm his words about application’s security, Pavel Durov announced $200,000 competition soon after Telegram was launched – he promised to give these money to anyone who will hack his secret chat with co-developer and brother, Nicolay Durov. Needless to say, no one was able to do that.

Also, Telegram has its own open API which allows anyone to create all kinds of bots and microprograms. Recently the company announced the launch of direct sales via bots and it makes Telegram something more than just a messenger.

Telegram channels have such wide range of features that Facebook public pages may become useless really soon. And let’s not forget about the stickers! They’re all free, look stunning and unlike in Viber or WhatsApp, any user can create and share their own sticker packs.

In conclusion, Telegram has perfect design (even though users can create their own color schemes) – it’s easy to use and looks simple plus effective.

How it started: Telegram Success Story

Telegram was launched August ’13 and opinions on its growth were radically opposite. Someone predicted huge success, someone claimed that without big financial investments there’s no way Durov and his developer team will repeat achievements of his previous project – “VK”. And although founders had enough money for project to start, further development of the messenger was a big question. At first, it looked like Telegram can’t offer something new – there has already beenSkype for video calls and WhatsApp took over nearly every smartphone and these were only the biggest opponents in market at the time.

Pavel Durov, CEO and founder of Telegram

However, critics were deeply mistaken with their forecasts. By February 2014 the messenger already had 100 million of users and daily audience growth made it to 350 thousand accounts. Users were sending 15 billion messages daily from around more than 200 countries worldwide. And all these numbers were reached without any marketing expenses – according to Durov, users promoted the product themselves among their friends.

So why Telegram is popular?

There are several reasons for popularity growth like this. First of all, developers positioned this product as something uncontrolled by the authorities of any country. Second reason is declared security and openness of API, and the third are unique features that build a reputation for Telegram as not another WhatsApp clone, but as complete independent product.

Let’s see how Telegram works. It’s just a messaging application, basically. Telegram works as simple as Online Casinos in MB. To start working with Telegram users don’t need any long registration procedures – accounts are tied to phone numbers. All messages are encrypted so there’s no way any government structure will be able to read them. To sync data with other devices, app stores data in cloud and maybe that’s the reason of fast work of the application. Telegram channels are easy to create and often interesting to read, so are the bots (which are a great replacements for independent apps, like the weather forecast or reminders).

Also the app probably has the best minimalistic design among other messengers as well as the option to change it any way that user may like. But there are also a big amount of additional functions, such as sending geolocation to contact, file exchange up to 1GB of each file, creating user gifs, unlimited number of stickers and more. So how does Telegram make money? The thing is, it doesn’t. You might wonder why Telegram is free despite its huge popularity. It’s crazy, but Pavel Durov shares the idea of ad-free and free-of-charge messaging and supplies the project with his own money. But as said in F.A.Q., if ever these donations run out, developers will add optional paid features to maintain the functioning of the application.

Everyone should learn from Telegram success. Among the numerous life and business lessons Durov’s project can give, there are top 5 things to learn:

1. Always know what people need the most.

Durov was analyzing a lot and knew that people spend more time on messaging than on scrolling their feed on Facebook. Most importantly – he knew why people always come back over and over. So he created a convenient and unique messaging application for everyone. Additionally, while everyone kept discussing how privacy is easily breached nowadays, Durov and his team tried to create the most secure chat ever, and make security a Unique Selling Proposition of their product.

2. Idea shapes your Product.

Without numerous fights for absolute data security and without developers’ belief Telegram wouldn’t make it to the top. People trust their data to the app because they know that their confidentiality is developers’ priority #1.

Additionally, the idea of Telegram channels and bots shaped the additional marketing tool for companies, replaced groups in social media and, possibly, some other apps since bots give the opportunity to find out the necessary information, perform a certain action, and more. As a result, almost every Telegram user has a list of favorite channels or bots used daily that make them come back to the app again and again.

3. Simple is the New Sexy.

While other companies hold thousands of workers in different departments, Telegram prefers rationality in problem-solving, maintenance and outsourcing. Also, as said previously, this company hasn’t spent anything for marketing purposes. Telegram has hundreds of millions of users because of its authenticity, indispensability, and convenience, no more, no less. Make it simple to make it perfect.

When users first accessed Telegram, they found it simple, use-to-use, and fast. Easy navigation together with smooth fast work definitely became the reason for success.

4. It’s always about people.

There’s no way you can make an authentic product without a trustworthy crew. Durov has only fifteen developers in the main team. These people design, develop and manage everything that Telegram is. Of course, there are a few more workers that are responsible for moderation etc., but solid ground of project is Durov’s team. Trust your crew, make them trust you, and your product will be the most trustworthy among the others.

5. Don’t be afraid of competition in the market.

Telegram was launched when Jan Koum’s WhatsApp was already worldwide popular. Another competitor, Viber, had tens of millions of users in Iran, Russia, and other countries. Moreover, there already were local messaging applications in development – Indian Hike, Chinese WeChat, Japanese Line. Nevertheless, Telegram burst into the top amazingly fast all around the world. Without faith in success, without understanding what competitors don’t have, this wouldn’t be possible. So know your product, know the rivals and create something bigger than just an alternative.

Bonus Secret: Stickers

Obviously, everyone loves Telegram for stickers and for the ability to create stickers of your own easily. Telegram wasn’t the first to introduce stickers, but they took this feature further and made it more enjoyable for users. According to our experience, custom stickers can be a nice addition to a social app or messenger and become a great monetization method.

Final thoughts

The best Telegram features created a perfect IT product that continues to grow. Despite the tough history, this messenger definitely shapes our messaging reality. Needless to say that there are no stable future projections for this company as it still financed by one person with rock-hard principles, but you still can find a number of ways to use Telegram’s experience to build your own perfect startup.

The conclusion here is simple: even if you think that the market is too saturated and your app idea is doomed to fail, think of Telegram who made to the top despite numerous strong competitors. The Telegram team tried to make something ultimately better, more secure, more efficient – and users appreciated the effort.

Score Sheet

In order to identify the optimal service, a bespoke scoring methodology has been formulated. This methodology is comprised of four distinct components, with each component contributing a specific proportion of the overall score. The maximum score attainable for each service is 10.

The initial component evaluates the speed of the service, and is allocated a weightage of 30% of the total score. The second component examines the quality of image processing and the dependability of the output, and is also accorded a weightage of 30%. The third component, which accounts for 30% of the total score, is established by amalgamating personal experience with feedback from users.

The fourth and final component, responsible for 10% of the total score, pertains to the security of data and service. Taken together, these components comprise a rigorous and comprehensive methodology for scoring and comparing online services.

Note: Of course, this is not a perfect methodology, and a large part of the assessment is subjective. So you can use these apps yourself and make up your own mind.

Why is Zero-Based Budgeting important in App Development?

Zero-based budgeting is an approach to budgeting where the budget starts from zero and every expense must be justified for each budget period. This approach is particularly important in app development because it allows companies to allocate resources efficiently and effectively based on the current needs of the project.

Zero-based budgeting is a budgeting method that requires all expenses to be justified and approved in each new budget period. It was developed by Peter Pyhrr in the 1970s. This budgeting method analyzes an organization’s needs and costs by starting from a “zero base” at the beginning of every period. Wikipedia

Four Reasons

Here are some reasons why zero-based budgeting (ZBB) is important in app development:

Aligns budget with project needs: In app development, project needs can change rapidly, and traditional budgeting methods may not be able to accommodate those changes. Zero-based budgeting ensures that the budget is aligned with the current needs of the project, which can lead to more efficient resource allocation.
Encourages cost-saving measures: ZBB requires every expense to be justified, which can encourage app development teams to find cost-saving measures. This can lead to more efficient use of resources, which can ultimately result in a better return on investment.
Increases accountability: With zero-based budgeting, each expense must be justified, which increases accountability throughout the app development process. This can lead to better decision-making and a greater sense of ownership among team members.
Promotes transparency: ZBB can promote greater transparency in the budgeting process, as all expenses must be justified and approved by multiple stakeholders. This can help to build trust among team members and stakeholders, which can ultimately lead to a more successful app development project.

Here are some of the Key Advantages and Disadvantages

Pros:

Increased efficiency: Zero-based budgeting ensures that every expense is justified, which can lead to more efficient use of resources in app development.
Greater flexibility: Because ZBB requires companies to start from scratch with each budget period, it allows for greater flexibility and the ability to reallocate resources based on changing priorities and needs.
Encourages innovation: Zero-based budgeting can encourage innovation in app development, as it requires companies to think critically about each expense and find more cost-effective and efficient solutions.
Improved accountability: With ZBB, every expense must be justified, which can increase accountability and encourage better decision-making throughout the app development process.

Cons:

Time-consuming: Zero-based budgeting can be more time-consuming than traditional budgeting methods, as it requires companies to start from scratch with each budget period and justify every expense.
Requires significant planning and coordination: ZBB requires significant planning and coordination to ensure that every expense is properly justified and aligned with the current needs of the business.
Potential for cost-cutting: While zero-based budgeting is not solely focused on cost-cutting, there is a risk that it could lead to cutting corners or sacrificing quality in order to stay within budget constraints.
May not be suitable for all app development projects: Zero-based budgeting may not be suitable for all app development projects, particularly those that have well-established budgeting processes or that are focused on maintaining existing systems rather than innovating.

Overall, while there are some potential drawbacks to ZBB in app development, the benefits of increased efficiency, greater flexibility, and improved accountability can make it an effective approach for many companies. It’s important to weigh the pros and cons and carefully consider whether this approach is the right fit for your particular app development project.

Five myths of Zero-Based Budgeting in Startups

Zero-based budgeting is a time-consuming process that requires cutting costs and can be inflexible and risky, but it is not just for large companies.

There are several myths associated with zero-based budgeting in startups. Here are some common ones:

Zero-based budgeting is only for large companies: While zero-based budgeting was first developed for large companies, it can be just as effective for startups. In fact, zero-based budgeting can be particularly helpful for startups that are looking to allocate resources efficiently and effectively.
Zero-based budgeting is too time-consuming: While it’s true that zero-based budgeting requires more time and effort than traditional budgeting methods, it doesn’t have to be overly time-consuming. With the right tools and processes in place, zero-based budgeting can be streamlined and efficient.
Zero-based budgeting requires cutting costs: While ZBB can help companies identify areas where they can cut costs, it’s not solely focused on cost-cutting. Rather, it’s about ensuring that every expense is justified and aligned with the current needs of the business.
Zero-based budgeting is inflexible: Some people believe that zero-based budgeting is inflexible because it requires every expense to be justified. However, this approach actually allows for greater flexibility, as it allows companies to reallocate resources as needed based on changing priorities and needs.
Zero-based budgeting is too risky: Some people believe that zero-based budgeting is too risky because it requires companies to start from scratch with each budget period. However, this approach can actually be less risky than traditional budgeting methods, as it ensures that every expense is justified and aligned with the current needs of the business.

Overall, while there may be some misconceptions about ZBB in Startups, this approach can be an effective way to allocate resources and ensure that every expense is justified and aligned with the current needs of the business.

What are the characteristics of zero-based budgeting?

The four characteristics of zero-based budgeting are: a bottom-up approach, a focus on justification and analysis, a periodic reassessment of expenses, and a emphasis on planning and goal-setting.

Bottom line

Overall, zero-based budgeting can be an effective approach to budgeting in app development, as it allows for greater flexibility, cost-saving measures, accountability, and transparency throughout the budgeting process.

E-Learning App Development: Classroom and Library in Your Pocket

What can be more important than education? We learn our whole lives and this is by far single most crucial process of all. As the saying goes, education never ends and there is no reason for it to stop because, frankly, the more you know, the more you discover there’s still an infinity of unknown to uncover. Learning Management Systems give the opportunity to discover more and spend less time in the process.

Fortunately, internet and modern technologies save the day, again. Internet is the home of all content but the amount and diversity can confuse. In order to avoid the distraction a plethora of e-learning platforms and online training/tutoring solutions exist. They all can be defined as LMS, and they make it possible to narrow the scope and focus on what’s important in case you have a group of people to educate in a timely manner.

Read on to find out more about LMS and why it is a good idea to make your own LMS instead of buying a ready-made solution.

Mobile App Solution

Remember this: mobile first. Consider factory workers that don’t sit in front of their computers all day long. They need a solution they can use on their smartphones and/or iPads. And such type of employees especially needs detailed guiding because they engage with complex machines and are involved in sophisticated production/delivery cycles where they need to know exactly what to do step by step.

If a company introduces some changes or needs its employees to acquire new skills or assess their existing ones, a certain kind of guiding should be available on-demand while on the factory ground and not in a classroom. Keep in mind that the closer study is to the real working environment the better. Conclusion: your LMS should have a mobile version.

Functionality

The functionality of the e-learning app either presents value to the end users, or not. As a custom e-learning / coaching / tutoring / training solution, it should be more than just a regular CMS. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a need to develop your own software, since you can use Slack/eMail/Skype to organize lessons or easily subscribe to a ready-made solution. But they are often the same customized CMS systems, though they cost even more than making your own app. And you won’t be able to negotiate the terms or ask for specific features that you need. Think about that. Meanwhile, here’s a list of the features frequently included in different e-learning platforms:

Engaging / interactive content or gamification features
Content management (drag and drop)
Content storage
Video streaming (details)
Chats
Profiles (of verified teachers, tutors, trainers)
Integration with other services and 3rd party API
Ability to customize and create tests / quizzes with time tracking features

Every e-learning platform has its pros and cons. Some of them are good but expensive, others are quite cheap, yet they deliver just slightly more optimization that the usual Slack or Skype. The features are everything and it is not just about getting more of them because the trick is in organizing and presenting them efficiently to teach students without confusing them.

The secret of successful teaching is making the audience engaged and getting them interested

The Best Examples

Coassemble is a great example of a well-tailored e-learning platform. This solution provides all the necessary tools to create e-learning courses and corporate onboarding programs for employees. This LMS has a subscription-based payment model with 3 kinds of packages. You may notice the astounding difference between the basic plan and others ($149 / $499 / $999) and that is done to just make you buy, though there’s no such difference in case you’re using your own software.

Essentially, the platform offers ready-made software that is used to create and distribute training materials and online lessons. The company also offers course designers that can make lessons for you. But did you notice that Coassemble doesn’t have a mobile app? Nowadays, you may afford quitting on the web version but to deny users a mobile version is a big no-no. And that is with paying something around $500 which results in the average annual cost of $6000.

And you totally depend on the provider who can intentionally force you to pay more once you’re hooked on it. Isn’t it better to get $10 000 and start making the MVP of your own custom solution that will work for years for an unlimited amount of users? You decide.

Popular E-learning Apps and Custom Course Constructors

Developing your own E-Learning platform is a major business opportunity because, even though there are a lot of options here, in the long run most of them are more expensive to subscribe to than doing your own one. And it is exactly little details that are missed that may irritate you, whereas with your own custom E-Learning platform, you’d be able to change anything. Still, it’d be worth going through the options to know the market, so feel free to look at these examples:

Moodle / Moodle mobile app
WordPress mobile Solution
Skill Pill (iOS only)
EduCreations
skyprep

How Much Does it Cost?

The final cost depends on: functionality and deadlines. Features to consider: streaming, content sharing, texting, quiz constructor, tests and others aforementioned. Doing it faster is more expensive because it means hiring a bigger team. The development process should be balanced and to achieve that the project’s business goals, marketing strategy, budget and promotion should all be well defined.

eLearning MVP App Cost

One of the most important points to keep in mind is the fact that making MVP first would be the best choice. It allows you to research the market to know the demand and also eliminate the risks of releasing a product that people are not interested in. Most companies start releasing their product publicly with the MVP version first in order to gather user feedback and quickly deal with critical issues before proceeding further.

Budget: $15 000 – $150 000

Testing your software product in-house will never be as thorough as giving the end users to test it. You can launch your product in a certain limited area or release it for a smaller amount of selected users. Their interaction with your E-Learning software product will give you the space to improve before releasing final product to mass market.

Wrapping Up

If your employees need LMS, it is better to make your own than paying for a subscription to a ready-made solution. You can save costs and may even distribute your custom solution as a product for others. This is a business idea.

It can serve your company if you have complex on-boarding procedures and/or it can be a business of its own if you manage to promote your own custom LMS on the market because there’s a huge demand now for effective E-Learning solutions, especially those that are mobile. Give it a thought.

How to Build in Public: Your Startup Guide

Welcome to our blog where we discuss the ins and outs of building a startup in public! Our mission is to provide advice, tips and guidance for entrepreneurs who want to take their business to the next level of success. We’ll cover everything from networking to tech trends and beyond so join us on this journey as we strive towards our dreams!

Introduction to Building in Public (BIP)

The term “building in public” (BIP) refers to the practice of developing a business or product publicly, rather than in private. This can involve a variety of tactics such as live streaming development, posting updates on social media and hosting online events or webinars. In many ways, building in public is about “democratizing” the process of creating a startup by inviting the public to cheer you on and even participate in various steps of the idea development.

Building in public allows an entrepreneur to begin building relationships with potential customers and investors early on, which is great for early market validation. It also enables potential customers to get insight into how they are helping shape a product they may eventually come to love or use. Plus, building in public gives entrepreneurs an opportunity to cultivate relationships with tech communities and get input from experts in their space who can provide valuable feedback and ideas.

Additionally, building with transparency — like allowing people to see into your process — can create trust by allowing those involved with your idea feel like they’re connected and understand where decisions come from. Finally, since much of technology advancement always starts with basic experimentation anyway (even if only part of what ends up shipping), why not involve other people from the start? This can help you build credibility faster too!

Benefits of Building in Public your Project

Building in public provides a number of advantages for startups, including opportunities to engage with potential customers, gain feedback from industry experts, and create a publicity engine. Even veterans of the startup world can benefit from taking a more public approach to building their businesses.

One of the biggest benefits of building in public is visibility. When individuals and businesses share their stories openly on blogs, podcasts, and social media channels, they present an opportunity for potential customers to learn about them. This action can draw people in and help build a solid customer base. Additionally, it piques the interest of tech-savvy investors who are constantly on the lookout for new startups to fund.

For startups in particular, building in public offers invaluable feedback that may not be available simply by talking with colleagues or contacts within your network. Engaging publicly with other entrepreneurs and industry experts allows you to get opinions you might miss out on when discussing only within your own organization. It also creates buzz around your product or service that could bring more business opportunities down the line.

Finally, building in public is an incredibly effective way to create publicity around your business without needing much (or any) financial investment beyond what it takes to maintain channels like blogs, podcasts, or social media accounts where you’ll be sharing information and updates about your company as it grows. You can generate far greater visibility through this method alone than you would by relying solely on marketing tactics such as advertising campaigns or paid promotions that require significant spending upfront #BenefitsOfBuildingInPublic

How tech companies can grow an audience while building their product.
By Milan Kordestani

For example, Product Hunt is a popular application that gives users the ability to share new or upcoming products in the world of tech. The Product Hunt app gives consumers even greater awareness of build in public products to try out.

Challenges of Building in Public

Building a Startup in public can present many challenges. Not only do startups often require considerable secrecy, but introducing your work and ideas to the wider public creates risks such as market competition and copyright issues. At the same time, creating an authentic, open narrative around your startup can be beneficial: community feedback, transparency, collaborations and increased visibility are just some of the rewards for embracing a “build in public” approach.

Before committing to such an approach, it is important to consider the many challenges that come with making a startup journey publicly visible. These include the danger of advice overload from those online:

copycatting;
not being able to easily pivot product plans or strategies;
dealing with negative chatter from trolls or disgruntled customers or team members;
or sensitive discussions about financials (often frowned upon by investors).

Additionally, founders and teams must also consider whether they may overshare too much information, unintentionally giving away competitive advantages.

Each of these issues needs to be managed thoughtfully in order to ensure success during a public building journey – especially given that mistakes are often magnified exponentially when working in public. Ultimately, only you can decide if building in public is right for you and your team. However by considering all of the potential pitfalls thoroughly beforehand you can ensure that you make an informed choice on how much – or how little – of your journey you wish to make visible.

Tips for Building in Public

Building in public is rapidly gaining popularity among tech startups and aspiring entrepreneurs. By publicly documenting and broadcasting your journey, you can generate more interest in your product, gain feedback more quickly, strengthen relationships with potential customers, and build an engaged community that supports your success.

Below are some tips to help you get started with building in public:

1. Start by setting up a platform: Decide where you want to share your story — Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, or even a blog or podcast. Choose the platforms that fit best with the type of content you will be created so people can find it easily.
2. Plan ahead: Once you know your platform of choice, outline what types of content you want to create and how often you’ll be sharing updates about your progress. Be sure to stick to a schedule; consistency will help keep followers engaged over time.
3. Focus on the customer: Who are the people who will be interested in following along on your journey? Share stories that focus not just on what it takes to run a company but also how it impacts them — this could include things like user feedback sessions or product demos for new releases.
4. Tell stories: Keep your followers engaged by crafting compelling stories about why people should use (or not use) certain features; include fun facts about startup life; highlight customer successes; let everyone peek behind the curtain at times of hardship or failure—all these elements make for an entertaining read!
5. Make connections: Use social media strategically to seek out influencers who match your ideal customer persona– following industry experts and engaging in conversations can eventually lead to great opportunities down the road!
6. Embrace transparency: Transparency creates trust and boosts credibility with potential customers—so don’t shy away from discussing confidential information as long as it doesn’t violate any laws or nondisclosure agreements linked to specific partnerships or launches! Just make sure everything is properly attributed too if necessary 😉

Examples of Companies Building in Public

Building in public is not a new concept, but it has become increasingly popular as more companies and startups recognize the potential for growth and have taken their products to the public before launch. This strategy comes with its own set of advantages and challenges, so understanding what building in public is and how it can help your business can be helpful in deciding if it’s something you should pursue.

To illustrate this concept, here are some examples of successful companies that implemented a build-in-public strategy:

–Buffer: Buffer has been an open-source digital marketing platform since 2011 when they launched their app publicly and provided insights into their team meetings.
–Basecamp: Basecamp is a project management tool that developed a web service as an open source project, allowing developers to follow developments live, suggest feature improvements and give feedback.
–GitLab: GitLab created an online repository for developers in 2013 to streamline processes such as code review, investigations and collaboration among team members.
–WordPress: WordPress was released publicly in 2003 as an open-source content management system that continues to be one of the most widely used blog publishing platforms.

Building in public involves ongoing engagement with development teams, customers and investors through blogs and social media updates that highlight successes or failures early on so other entrepreneurs can learn from those lessons or take guidance before making similar mistakes without too much risk. It also allows startups to get feedback from investors early on prior to launching products or pursuing investments making it a valuable tool for early-stage entrepreneurs looking for success opportunities.

In addition, potential users are more likely to try new products when they are openly documented updates revealing what works best from platforms like Twitter & Reddit which helps spread news of their existence faster than traditional channels like press releases & PR coverage– ultimately leading to more downloads & conversions from potential users interested in the product.

Tools for Building in Public

As more and more founders join the “building in public” movement, there are a growing number of tools available. Building in public means that entrepreneurs showcase their progress to the outside world while they build their business. This helps increase transparency and give founders an immediate feedback loop from their target audience. From social media platforms like Twitter, to project management and open source tools — there are several strategies for businesses to build in public.

Some popular tools used for building in public include:

Social media platforms (e.g., Twitter, Instagram): these provide a space for entrepreneurs to share updates, answer questions, and engage with customers.
Video streaming apps (e.g., YouTube, Twitch): these are great for livestreaming product demos or announcing important milestones with visuals and interactive elements. Read our post about it.
Open Source Documentation Platforms (e.g., GitHub): used by many already established businesses as well as startups to document their entire process — from development cycles to user feedback — publicly online for anyone to review ànd contribute to development efforts if desired!
Project Management Tools (e.g., Trello): great way of keeping track of tasks at hand while providing an accessible platform where others can follow progress on projects such as product launches or pivotal releases of new features/updates being rolled out over time!

Best Practices for Building in Public

Building a startup in public can create an incredible opportunity to connect with potential customers and grow a larger audience. It can also increase accountability, as well as provide valuable insight into the progress of your product. If done correctly, building in public will also make it easier to bring in investors and potential advisors, who understand what you’re trying to accomplish.

However, there are certain best practices that you should consider when building in public. Here are a few key tips to help you best leverage this strategy:

Set clear expectations: Before you begin building in public, it’s important to establish your boundaries and expectations. Decide how often you’ll share updates, how much detail you’re willing to provide, what type of acceptable feedback, etc. Most importantly, determine if/when it may be appropriate to start charging money for access.
Be transparent about your plan: Transparency is key when it comes to building in public. Sharing regular progress reports helps fans stay informed about your progress and keeps them engaged with what comes next. Additionally, being honest about setbacks or problems facing your product will inspire even more faith from the community since they’ll know that their concerns are taken seriously and addressed promptly.
Manage conversations carefully: Building out conversations can be a great way to interact with customers and get feedback on your product or feature ideas – however it can also delay the actual process of developing said product or feature if not managed properly. To avoid this cliché trapdoor while still utilizing the bonus conversation sparks from “building certain things in public” – focus more on providing clarity rather than participating yourself directly in discussions relating back to the feature / product roadmap (unless absolutely necessary).

By following these best practices when engaging with the public during startup building processes, founders can ensure that their business is running smoothly while maximizing potential connections with customers and sponsors alike!

Conclusion

In conclusion, for those looking to build in public and become successful, this guide is an essential resource. It outlines the essential strategies for creating a profitable business, gaining recognition and respect as an expert, increasing your strategic collaborations and partnerships, and creating content that converts.

Despite the ever-evolving nature of the modern startup landscape, these strategies remain as relevant now as they were when this guide was written. With effort and dedication to learning the basics of public-building, you can create a brand that is respected far and wide.

Get ready to explore the world of app development with python – the possibilities are endless!

Introduction to Python for App Development

Python is one of the premier, flexible, and powerful open-source language that is easy to learn, easy to use, and has powerful libraries for data manipulation and analysis. Python App development has become increasingly popular due to its flexibility, scalability and performance. Many of the world’s leading tech companies such as Google, Facebook, YouTube are using Python for their core infrastructure.

In this introduction to Python for App Development we will look at the essentials of programming with Python with a focus on creating App development projects. We will also explore how setting up your development environment with an appropriate version of python can make coding simpler and more enjoyable. The topics covered include setting up your workspace for development in an OS(Windows or Mac OSX) then install the python interpreter, downloading any necessary IDE(Integrated Development Environment).

We will discuss common design patterns and learn software engineering concepts behind building apps using python such as Object Oriented Programming Principles (OOP), SOLID Principles(Single Responsibility Principle (SRP), Open Closed Principle (OCP), Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP), Interface Segregation Principle (ISP) , Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP)), Data Structures & Algorithms relevant to app development , functions & loops , classes & modules , file handling etc. We will also look at how to use specific packages suited for app creation including Numpy for scientific computing in Python; Flask/ Django web frameworks for server-side programming; TKinter/ Kivy/ Pygame packages in UI design . It is expected that by the end of this tutorial you’ll be able to develop an application from scratch independently.

Benefits of Using Python for App Development

Using Python for app development has numerous advantages and provides many ways to make development time easier, faster and more efficient. Python is an ideal language for mobile app development since it enables developers to quickly and easily make apps within a shorter period of time.

Python is considered a versatile language due to its expansive library of built-in modules, making it easy to find solutions for complicated tasks related to mobile app development. Additionally, Python also helps reduce bugs in code due to its simple syntax that prevents developers from writing complex code unnecessarily.

Python further offers an extensive network of experienced type-checking tools. This makes it possible for developers during the coding process to check the syntax even before running scripts or programs, allowing them plenty of time before deployment to investigate potential issues with their code.

Another benefit of utilizing Python is that developers can make use of wide range of components that have already been written in different languages and integrate them into their codebase easily. This allows them to stumble upon existing solutions and utilize them instead of reinventing the wheel. The readability factor involved in using Python makes debugging an easier process compared other programming languages out there.

Overall, using Python for app development offers various benefits stemming from readability, flexibility and easy integration with various components that can help accelerate the application build overall process significantly for any internet or mobile project..

Challenges of Using Python for App Development

When developing apps, there are a number of challenges that arise when using Python. First, Python is an interpreted language and the code must be compiled before it can be run on a device such as smart phone or tablet. Compiling code for multiple operating systems requires different steps. This can be difficult for some developers, who may not have the necessary experience in using makefiles and other compilers to create cross-platform applications.

Another challenge with Python is its lack of support for native libraries. In mobile development, much of the functionality needs to be accessed through native libraries, which can require complex setup and custom coding. A further issue is that Python does not have many frameworks available compared to other languages. This means you’re more likely to need custom solutions when creating your app, which takes more time and resources than if you were working with a more supported language such as Objective-C or Java. Additionally, debugging capabilities are more limited with Python than they are with other languages due to its interpretive nature – finding anomalies in an app written in Python can be more difficult because the errors aren’t highlighted until runtime.

Popular Frameworks for Python App Development

Python is a versatile programming language with numerous applications, particularly in mobile and web app development. It is highly recognized for its easy-to-read, maintainable code and excellent scalability. Python is the preferred language of choice when developing a wide range of apps, including social media activities, data analysis, artificial intelligence (AI), and Internet of Things (IoT).

Developers have the option to use popular frameworks when developing apps in Python. Popular frameworks include Flask, Django, Pyramid and Web2py.

Flask – this minimalist framework offers more flexibility due to its lack of default project structure or database abstraction layers; instead it focuses on providing a simple API structure allowing developers to build quick prototypes or complex web services.

Django – this full-stack framework delivers an out-of-the-box solution ideal for building projects with the active support from its community due to its great documentation and user forums. It features object-relational mapping (ORM) which makes database manipulations extremely easy and fast for developers with no coding neededl compared to SQL code writing.

Pyramid – this framework provides a solid foundation allowing developers to customize their applications allowing them to start small while continuing through rapid prototyping successfully. Additionally it allows scaling down as easily as scaling up during this process.

Web2py – similarily to Django this full stack open source web purpose development framework offers both novice and professional developers alike the possibility of leveraging everything that comes courtesy with prebuilt components as well as features like AJAX form processing and simple drag & drop design elements without needing any configuration or complicated setup process..

Tools and Libraries for Python App Development

When developing applications using the Python programming language, developers have a wide array of access to powerful tools and libraries that are available to create their applications. There are both general-purpose and domain-specific tools and libraries, ensuring that each application can build on the top of existing codebase as needed.

Popular Python toolkits for app development include TensorFlow, which is used for deep learning, Keras for machine learning applications, SciPy for scientific computing, Scikit-Learn for data mining and analysis, and Twisted for network programming. Additionally, many web frameworks exist to enable developers to quickly build web apps in Python— such as Django, Web2py and Flask.

For desktop GUI development purposes, there are a variety of options such as wxPython and PyQt that can be used to quickly create graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in an efficient manner. Data visualization tools like matplotlib, Seaborn and ggplot aid developers in communicating results clearly via charts and graphs.

Python also applies across different types of databases like MongoDB or Cassandra which allow developers to optimize databases access with Object Relational Mapping (ORM) libraries like SQLAlchemy or PonyORM. And specialized libraries exist that make storage into NoSQL databases faster and easier as well as making it possible to interact with web services such APIs or connect with other sysadmin tasks like remote execution via SSH or HTTP requests.

With so many choices available in the way of tools and libraries when it comes to Python app development the possibilities are truly endless!

Tips and Best Practices for Python App Development

Python app development has become increasingly popular in recent years, mainly due to its widespread use in the software engineering world. It is praised for its simplicity and flexibility, but if you are new to coding with Python, you may find it difficult to get around. In this guide, we will provide some tips and best practices for effective Python app development that must be taken into consideration.

Firstly, when creating a project from scratch it is important to make sure that you have chosen the best data structure for your application; different projects require different data structures. The most common data structures used when writing applications in Python are dictionaries, lists and tuples; however, there are other types such as sets and classes which can also be beneficial for some tasks. Furthermore, the correct algorithms should be selected when coding in order to achieve maximum efficiency.

Another important factor is clarity of code; no matter how user-friendly your program may be without clarity of code maintained throughout your program’s structure, understanding and making changes afterwards will become difficult as the complexity of your code increases. To promote readability of code it is necessary to format it regularly using space bars or functional comments accordingly so that everyone involved in development can easily understand what each line does even after months of working on a given project.

Finally tests should be conducted during development on all sizes of projects or programs to ensure correct functionality throughout – debugging should never stop! Once fully tested each iteration can then act as seen stable when delivered into a production system – just remember not to test an entire application at once unless necessary due multiple components being interconnected regardless of back-end implementation (e.g databases) functionality might change leading too total instability with the entire system at hand so use testing methods like unit-tests where applicable instead!

Security Considerations for Python App Development

The process of developing apps using Python comes with certain security concerns that must be addressed to ensure a successful outcome. Many app developers don’t take proper security precautions and end up with apps that are vulnerable to attack, compromising the user’s personal data and intellectual property. To mitigate these risks, it is essential to consider the following security considerations when developing any type of app in Python.

First, careful consideration must be given to authentication protocols employed in the app. This ensures that only authorized users can access sensitive data and confidential information stored within your application. Password protection techniques such as two-factor authentication and biometrics should also be used where possible to provide an additional layer of security for user accounts.

Second, developers should consider their input sanitation methods when designing an app to minimize potential threats from malicious users attempting to inject code into the application via forms or URL parameters. All input must be properly sanitized before processing by the application in order to ensure that only valid requests are being allowed through for further processing.

Third, when deploying an application on a server it is important to use secure credentials for both backend programming languages like Python as well as web server accounts such as those accessed through SSH keys. All passwords used in an application should also be encrypted before being transmitted across the network in order to minimize any potential loss due to hacking attempts or interception by malicious third parties while still preserving data integrity and security during transmission over the wire.

Finally, developers must think beyond just coding considerations when creating a secure application environment; they must also pay attention to physical security measures protecting their servers against unauthorized access or destruction/theft of hardware containing sensitive information or data structures associated with the project being developed in Python.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Python is an essential language for app development. It enables developers to create both mobile and web applications. Python can also be used to build machine learning and artificial intelligence models, which makes it an ideal language for those looking to develop complex applications. It is a highly versatile language that comfortable all levels of programming expertise. Experienced developers will find it easy to use, while beginners will appreciate the level of support Python offers in terms of libraries, frameworks, and tools. Additionally, the hard work of the open-source community means that new advancements are constantly being made available for those interested in coding with Python. All things considered, it’s a good option for anyone looking to start out with app development or take their projects to the next level.

How to Choose an App Starting with A

Choosing an app to download can seem overwhelming because of the sheer number and variety that are available. With more than two million apps in the leading app stores, we understand it can be difficult to know where to start. To help make the decision easier, here are some tips for how to choose an app starting with the letter ‘A’:

1. Identify Your Needs: Before you even begin looking for an app, it pays to ask yourself which features and functions you need from your chosen application. Think about what type of experience you’re after, how often you plan on using it, and any other must-have requirements that would make or break your choice.

2. Read Reviews: Most apps allow users to leave ratings and reviews, so be sure to take the time to read through reviews before deciding on a particular one. Reviewers often note technical issues or problems with usability that may be important when making your choice.

3. Watch Videos and Look at Screenshots: If a developer has provided videos or screenshots of their app, take a few minutes to get familiar with them before downloading it yourself – this can paint a clearer picture as to whether an app is right for you or not.

4. Try the Free Version (if Available): Many apps offer free trials so that potential customers can test out functionality before committing to spending money on them permanently – so check if this is something offered by your chosen ‘A’-worded application first!

5. Don’t Judge Apps by Their Names!: Never just download an app based on its name alone – what may seem attractive at first could turn out disappointing in reality! Take the time to read through user reviews and descriptions carefully before deciding whether or not it’s worth downloading (and paying for).

Tips for Using Apps Starting with A

It can be challenging to find the right app for your needs. With so many apps available, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. However, if you are specifically looking for apps starting with A, here are a few tips to help you find the right one.

First, conduct research on various apps that start with A to get an idea of what options are available. Read reviews and explore user feedback to narrow down your search. Additionally, download and try out free versions of some apps to get a feel for them before committing to a purchase.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by all the options, create a list of criteria that must be met by any app you consider. Examples include compatibility requirements (e.g., device support), feature set (e.g., payment plans), or cost metrics (e.g., free vs paid). This can help limit your choices in a productive way so you don’t waste time considering irrelevant choices or getting sidetracked by additional features that won’t really impact your needs.

Finally, keep in mind that updates often occur frequently for top quality apps as technological advancements continue to be made and new features added over time to existing products – taking advantage of new features may require forcing an update or purchasing an upgrade version of the app when applicable. Stay informed about popular updates so that you have access to all recent versions and any additional content they provide when using apps starting with A – this will maximize the value and efficacy of the product throughout its entire life cycle!

Common Challenges with Apps Starting with A

When developing an app that starts with the letter ‘A’, there are several common challenges. First of all, there may be a limited amount of available names for apps beginning with this letter, which can make it more difficult to standout and become noticed. Additionally, these types of apps often take more time and resources to create in order to ensure that the quality is top-notch.

Furthermore, most users enter the first few letters of an app and perform searches on the basis of these letters. If there are too many apps starting with ‘A’, it might be hard for users to find yours due to the immense amount of competition in this area. This means it could take longer for your app’s user base to start growing since people simply won’t see your app when they search for ones beginning with ‘A’.

In order to overcome these issues, developers need to make sure that their implementation process is properly optimized and their marketing approach carefully thought-out. Moreover, focusing on user retention through regular updates and services can help grow a steadily increasing user base over time. Additionally, identifying target audiences can greatly improve visibility as well as provide better chances for relevant searches.

Best Practices for Developing Apps Starting with A

Developing an app that starts with the letter A is a unique challenge for app developers. Those who are new to this project may find the process difficult, but there are some strategies that can help make it successful. Developing an app starting with “A” requires creative and strategic thinking, coupled with careful planning and research, as well as strong technical skills. The following are some of the best practices for developing an effective app from the beginning.

1. Define Your App’s Goals: Before beginning development of your app, you need to define what it will do and why people should use it. The right goal will give your app direction, help you attract early adopters, and enable you to create a successful monetization strategy once the product is live.

2. Research Your Audience: You must do thorough research on your target audience to ensure they’ll be interested in using your app when it launches. Knowing their needs, preferences, motivation and any pain points they have in their current solutions will let you develop an app that meets those needs and provides a valuable solution for them.

3. Identify Unique Selling Points: It’s important to differentiate your product from existing offerings in the marketplace so that people choose to use yours instead of competitor products or websites; this is known as its ‘unique selling points’ (USP). Make sure these USPs are clear in all promotional material so they stand out against competitors’ offerings – efficiently market them as soon as possible prior to launch to attract users quickly upon release date.

4 Design & Implement Supporting Structures: In addition to creating an engaging user experience through design, you also need robust technical infrastructure underlying the interface – such as securely hosting data; seamlessly integrating payment platform; connecting push notifications; documenting analytics; etcetera – so users can have reliable access to quality services at all times even under high traffic volume scenarios at launch time onwards uninterruptedly going further ahead by time periods-wise optimization positioning them products better & better every time updates coming often out with improved algorithms/ enhancements swiftly given ongoing feedback from users & customer experience/functionalities/bug reporting integrated within providing faster resolution topped up with customized feature built requests taken up leading towards frequent usage along with user delight growing higher than ever before parallelly towards making a longer lasting remarkable impact over applications visibility within no time at all & in turn success thereby translated into high potential over potential future like-minded projects across vertical domains & multiple industry sectors catering varied requirements globally outreaching akin types of developments resembling our A project movement derived benefiting millions of lives eventually without fail through miraculous inventions coming our way soon enough hopefully…

Why do people need Medical Applications?

It is difficult to keep track of all the visits to the doctors, regular observations, and tests to stay healthy and not spend a lot of time on treatment. Fortunately, we live in an age where all you have to do is download a dedicated medical app, open it on your smartphone, and upload your data there. In this article, we’ll look at how healthcare app development can improve the patient’s experience with doctors and the treatment of diseases.

What do people expect from medical applications?

Medical applications allow patients to track every test and its result, every appointment with a doctor and written prescription, and manage the consultation date and time. Medical applications take healthcare management to a new level.

Easy way to use the app

Patients are looking for a smartphone app to help them save time when scheduling, changing, or canceling doctor visits. If it takes a lot of time and effort for patients to understand how the app works, they will most likely remove it. So, whether it’s making an appointment with a doctor or scheduling an online diagnosis, a successful mobile medical app is focused on making medicine more accessible by eliminating problems. A medical application should save a lot of time and effort for patients and doctors, not add to their problems.

Detailed and useful information

According to app download statistics, patients are showing great interest in mobile apps and health platforms. Patients download these apps because they provide benefits in return.

Patients want to have access to all the data that is relevant to their health. They also want to understand the reasons for feeling unwell, as well as know how to improve their situation. A good medical application should provide information about a specific problem and guide patients on the path to solving the problem.

Professional help is always available

Patients should be able to easily interact with healthcare providers through a mobile healthcare application. According to the study, in more than 70% of cases, patients can call their doctor or schedule a video call instead of going to the hospital.

Developing a solution that allows patients and doctors to interact will benefit both parties. Telemedicine services allow patients not only to save time but also financial resources. Moreover, in some cases, wasting time visiting the hospital can take away precious time that could be worth spending on treatment.

The social network of patients

Patients want to interact and communicate with each other. It is extremely important to include a social network element in your medical application.

Incorporating social aspects into your application provides several benefits. When a patient is diagnosed with a particular disease or condition, they tend to seek out people who have similar experiences. It makes patients feel needed and part of a caring community.

Connected additional devices

App-connected technologies like health trackers and smartwatches are all the rage right now. The medical gadget can track vital information such as heart rate, blood sugar, tremors, posture control, sleep cycles, and physical activity. This information can help patients better understand their condition, rethink their lifestyle, and give them more control over their health.

What influences the success of medical application development?

The process of developing a personal medical application, like any other application, begins with the definition of the target audience and includes typical steps:

competitor research;
definition of functions;
choice of technology stack;
writing code.

Understand your user

To determine the expectations of consumers, it is necessary to get to know your customers and target audience better. Many actions are simplified if you understand your user. Developing a superior product, defining product features, and developing a strategic and profitable marketing plan are all results of working with a target audience. Gather the necessary information about the user’s identity by conducting research and establishing critical demographic criteria.

Think about safety

Enhanced security is an important way to protect users’ sensitive health information. There are the following security improvement methods:

Two-factor authentication

To protect the user from various cyber threats, you can reduce the session mode in the application to a set time.

The processing and storing of patient data should be handled with care. It is not recommended to use fonts and design elements in a medical application that can attract the attention of strangers. This will minimize the possibility of data leakage when using the solution in public places.

Create a user-friendly UX design

Managing data in a medical application should be easy. Think about user flow and switching between screens. Show users only the information they need so you don’t overwhelm users. Use simple language to make things easy for users to understand. The medical application should not be associated with unknown terminology.

What features should be included in a medical application?

Any medical application should include the following important elements:

Account authorization. Make this process quick and easy, but remember that it must be secure as you work with a lot of personal information.
User profile. Users should be able to enter general information about them and change it as needed.
Control. Users of a medical application should be able to manage all their data, quickly access it, and filter by date and category.
Classification. Patients should be able to organize their medical records, as well as manage visits to specialists.
Notifications. Users of the application should be able to receive notifications about upcoming appointments with doctors, as well as the availability of test results, etc.

Tips for building a powerful medical application

To sum up, here is a list of tips to help you create a powerful personal health app:

Think about your customers and their needs. Always tailor the development process to the needs and expectations of users and provide them with an effective medical tool.
Be simple. Convenient UX design and data visualization will not leave users indifferent.
Security is above all. Make sure your customers’ data is protected.

How to start own mobile app startup with MVP?

If you’re like most people, you probably have a great app idea. But turning that idea into a reality? That’s where things can get tricky.

Luckily, we’re here to help. In this blog post, we’ll show you how to start a mobile app startup with MVP Solution. This will help you validate your idea and get it off the ground quickly and affordably.

So let’s get started!

Define your app’s purpose and target audience

Starting a mobile app startup is an exciting process, but it’s also one that requires a lot of careful planning and thought. Perhaps the most important part of starting a successful mobile app startup is to create a Minimum Viable Product (MVP).

Your MVP is the version of your app that you’ll launch with, and it should be designed to get feedback from your target audience. This feedback will be essential in helping you improve and iterate on your app.

To create a successful MVP, you’ll need to start by defining your app’s purpose and target audience. These are two of the most important aspects of any successful app, and they’ll help you determine what features to include in your MVP.

Once you’ve defined your purpose and target audience, you can begin brainstorming features for your MVP. Remember to keep your MVP as simple as possible – the goal is to get feedback, not to create a fully-featured app.

With a clear purpose and target audience in mind, along with a list of potential features, you’re ready to start building your MVP!

Research the market and your competition

Starting your own mobile app startup can be a daunting task. There are so many things to consider, from your idea and niche, to building your product and marketing it to the right audience. It’s important to do your research before you dive in and start building your MVP (Minimum Viable Product).

One of the most important things you need to research is the market and your competition. This will help you understand what is already out there and what needs are not being met by existing products. It will also help you identify any potential threats and how to position your product in the market.

Once you have a good understanding of the market, you can start to validate your MVP concept. This can be done through market research, surveys, interviews, and focus groups. Testing your MVP with real users will help you refine your product and make sure it is ready for launch.

Create a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) App

An MVP app is a bare-bones version of your product that allows you to test your hypotheses with potential customers with the least amount of effort. It is not about making something that looks pretty; it’s about making something that works.

The mvp app cost can vary greatly, depending on various factors such as the size of the project, the complexity of the project, and how much time is allotted for development. The MVP development cost ranges from $15,000 to $150,000 or more.

The goal of an MVP is to validate your assumptions and get feedback from potential customers as early as possible. This feedback will help you validate (or invalidate) your assumptions, save you time and money, and help you build a better product.

Creating an MVP does not have to be complicated or expensive. You can create an MVP by:
– Identifying the core features of your product
– Creating a prototype of these features
– Testing the prototype with potential customers

Once you have created your MVP, you can begin collecting feedback from potential customers. This feedback will help you validate (or invalidate) your hypotheses, save you time and money, and help you build a better product.

Develop your app and test it thoroughly

You have a great app idea and you’re ready to take it to the market. But before you do, it’s important to make sure your app is fully developed and test it thoroughly. No one wants to use an app that is full of bugs or crashes constantly.

To get started, you need to create a prototype or MVP (minimum viable product). This is a version of your app that has all the essential features but is not fully developed. Once you have your MVP, you can start testing it with real users. This will help you identify any areas that need improvement before you launch your app.

When developing your MVP, keep these things in mind:

Make sure your app is intuitive and easy to use
Ensure all the essential features are included
Make sure your app is stable and doesn’t crash
Test your app thoroughly with real users

Once you’ve created a strong MVP, you can then start working on developing the full version of your app.

Launch your app and market it effectively

The first step is to come up with a great idea. Once you have an idea, you need to validate it. After validation, the next step is to build a minimum viable product (MVP). Once you have an MVP, you need to launch your app and market it effectively.

If you can do all of these things, you’ll be well on your way to starting a successful mobile app startup. Let’s take a more detailed look at each of these steps.

1. Come up with a great idea
2. Validate your idea
3. Build a minimum viable product (MVP)
4. Launch your app and market it effectively

Analyse your app’s performance and user feedback

Make sure you track your app’s analytics and user feedback from the very beginning. This will help you to assess which features are being used the most, what users like and don’t like about your app, and what areas need improvement. All this information will be valuable when you start working on your MVP.

Update and improve your app regularly

If you want to stay ahead of the competition, you need to update and improve your app continuously. This means adding new features, fixing bugs, and improving performance on a regular basis.

One way to ensure that your app is always improving is to release regular updates. This gives you an opportunity to fix any bugs that have been discovered since the last release, and to add new features that your users will love.

Another way to keep your app up-to-date is to listen to feedback from your users. If they are constantly asking for new features or improvements, then it’s likely that these changes would be beneficial for your app. By regularly updates your app, you can make sure that it is always offering the best possible experience for your users.

Plan for long-term success

You can’t just develop an MVP, launch it, and expect people to flock to your app. Marketing your app is essential to its success. But how do you market an MVP?

Planning for long-term success starts with your MVP. It’s not enough to simply create a minimal product and launch it—you need to have a plan for how you’re going to get people using and engaging with your app on an ongoing basis.

Here are a few things to keep in mind as you develop your MVP marketing strategy:

1. Focus on utility: When you’re marketing an MVP, it’s important to focus on how your product is actually useful to users. What problem does it solve? How does it make their lives easier?
2. Keep it simple: Don’t try to oversell your product—keep your messaging concise and focused on the core value proposition of your MVP.
3. Appeal to early adopters: When launching an MVP, it’s important to focus on appealing to early adopters—those who are more likely to be receptive to new products and ideas. This could mean targeting specific demographics or using certain marketing channels (such as social media or online forums) that tend to be frequented by early adopters.
4. Generate buzz: Getting people talking about your app is essential for driving awareness and adoption. There are a number of ways to generate buzz for your MVP, such as holding a contest, partnering with influencers, or leveraging PR or social media marketing.
5. Focus on retention: Once you have people using your MVP, it’s important to focus on retention—ensuring that users stick around and continue using your app over time. This could involve implementing features or updates that keep users engaged, providing excellent customer support, or offering incentives (such as rewards or discounts) for continued use.

What is Cross-Platform Development?

Normally when you build a native app you have to build a separate one for Android and a separate one for iOS/Apple, each using that specific platform language. For example, to build for the following platforms you need to use the standard language they recognize:

Apple iOS: Program in Objective-C or Swift
Android: Program in Java
Windows Phone: Program in C# and XAML

Unfortunately, the need for separate platform languages has the following disadvantages:

Expense: Creating and maintaining an app for each operating system is much more expensive.
Knowledge: Programming native mobile apps would require high levels of skill in 2-3 different languages.
Uniformity: Because each platform has its own user interface, standardized widgets and features, apps will not be uniform from platform to platform and will create a different user experience depending on the device. Many people have more than one type of device so when they use your app on iOS and switch over to an Android device, their experience will be different.

Cross platform development provides the flexibility to build your app using a universal language like Javascript which can then be exported to various smartphone platforms. This allows one “app” to work across multiple habitats. This can be done in two ways:

Native App – Cross Platform Development – Using tools like React Native, Xamarin, or NativeScript, you end up with an app that still uses native APIs which allows for excellent performance across all platforms, without having to code each separately. This results in a very nice app that runs well and is a great compromise over the time and expense of building a native app.
Hybrid Apps – Cross-Platform Development – Hybrid development is a tier lower than native cross-platform development. It relies on a built in web browser and HTML 5, CSS, and Javascript to render the app. The app is coded and then rendered on the smartphone inside an app container which is driven by an internal web browser. In hybrid apps, developers program using native web languages but wrap it in a native wrapper for each operating system, thus rendering it usable across multiple platforms. This can work OK for simple apps but in more complex apps, performance could be an issue.

Advantages of Cross Platform Development

There are 7 advantages to using cross-platform development:

Expenses are reduced as the need to code in two or three separate languages disappears. In addition bugs that are present in the common code base need only be fixed once (for the most part).
Time to market is reduced since developing one program takes a lot less time than building two or three apps for each device platform.
Uniformity increases between different operating systems creating a more seamless user experience.
Companies are able to reach many more customers right from the get-go which increases exposure and future ROI.
The development tools are familiar as they employ common programming languages.
It is ideal for prototyping because it allows a faster time to market on more than one platform and allows the owner to collect user feedback, establish a position in the market and secure any patents if necessary, before another company can do the same.
In the case of apps used by employees, cross platform apps can help you achieve quicker deployment and adoption at a lower cost, since bring your own device (BYOD) policies are becoming more and more common in the workplace.

Disadvantages of Cross Platform Development

There are some disadvantages to using cross-platform development:

Programs can be less efficient. This occurs due to lack of hardware power to perform smooth HTML5 animations on low or mid range devices, redundant processes for the different platforms, or running on operating systems that are more than 3 years old.
The program itself may need to be more generalized and in the process become less sophisticated than it would if it were built for one specific program.
Using advanced features with cross platform development may take more battery power and a lot more resources than with a native application.

How to Build a Successful App like Poshmark?

If you ever thought about building a shopping mobile app? Then you should definitely consider a Poshmark marketplace as a role model for your future app. Why?

Across the internet, the resale market is blowing up. Platforms like The RealReal and StockX are making it easier than ever to buy and sell luxury goods, while ThredUP has become the world’s largest online thrift store.

In the middle of the market, there’s Poshmark. Today, the nine-year-old company announces it has paid out $2 billion to its community of seven million sellers. And what’s even more surprising is that a year ago, the company hit its $1 billion milestones, meaning it has doubled revenues generated for sellers in a single year. It’s just another sign that the resale market is gaining speed.

Poshmark is pricing its IPO at $42 per share, raising $277M, up from its $35-$39 price initially noted in an earlier filing — Online marketplace is raising $277 million in share sale — Poshmark IPO follows trading debut by consumer lender Affirm
bloomberg

Poshmark is one of the largest social commerce marketplaces for buying and selling used clothes and it had a community of 60 million users at the end of 2019. It stands out clearly against the competitors thanks to its “social selling” model. The platform seems like a social media site, where users create profiles and chat about products before purchasing. As a result, the average Poshmark user spends between 23 and 27 minutes a day on the platform, sharing 30 million listings daily.

Social shopping and resale have fueled the closet phenomenon. Shopping and selling have become more fluid, accelerating the opportunity of a circular economy — and everyone’s getting on board. Shoppers are turning to platforms like Poshmark to extend the life cycle of clothing, creating a more prosperous future.

What is Poshmark?

We already mentioned that Poshmark is a social marketplace where everyone in the United States and Canada has the opportunity to buy and sell clothing. The customers of the platform can browse the marketplace and search according to specific criteria. Users can find everything from common items to exclusive luxury things.

Furthermore, users can sell their unwanted or unworn clothing and accessories at this platform. Purchases can be paid through PayPal, credit cards, and Apple Pay. Inspired by the success of Poshmark? Then let’s discuss how to create a website like Poshmark. It’s better to start from a minimum viable product (MVP). This approach enables you to confirm your idea at an early stage so you can get feedback from real users and improve your product as soon as possible.

What main features should have an app like Poshmark?

Poshmark stands out from its competitors by providing 100 % assurance to the buyers about the quality and hygiene of the goods. There are particular selling options by Poshmark which no other marketplace doesn’t provide.

Reservation purchases

Is there was a situation when you wanted to buy a product and while you filled in a form someone took the product first? But in Poshmark, the ‘reserve’ feature helps the buyer to flag the item for 10 minutes so that they can enter their details and even though they suffer from a slow network issue, there still be a chance to get the product.

In case, if the buyer abandons the cart, still the product stays as flagged for 10 minutes and then is open for other buyers.

58% are comfortable purchasing items through a social media platform instead of directly from a company’s website. Poshmark is among the most popular platforms to purchase from, alongside Instagram and Facebook Marketplace.
POSHMARK REPORT

Bundle Buy

When the user wants to purchase several items from one particular seller, the normal procedure that they go through is by going on adding to cart one by one item which makes no difference even if the items were by different sellers.

But by using the bundling feature, the buyers can ask the sellers to create a bundle out of the products and the entire package can be sent to the buyers together. This provides the users with the ease to shop for their closet along with all the accessories.

Inspired with Poshmark success? Want to develop such an incredible app?

A TikTok-like Stories Feature

Poshmark is about to look a lot more like TikTok. The new feature will appear at the top of users’ feed, showing closets they follow in a vertical slideshow, which disappears after 48 hours. By clicking on a tagged item, you’re directly taken to that seller’s closet to purchase or make them an offer. Stories are intended to improve organic engagement among users.

We should forget standard features that have to be on a website similar to Poshmark:

Authorization

Start using the platform shoppers and buyers should provide their names and email addresses. It is required by marketplace like Poshmark because users usually don’t like to fill registration forms and this has become a regular practice to use their existing social login credentials from Google or Facebook to sign up for the platform.

Seller profile

This page contains information about sellers (recent comments received and given, brands they follow, average shipping time, activities, registration date on the marketplace) based on this information buyers can decide whether to trust or not.

Listings of seller’s goods

It would be great if buyers will be able to see all products from a particular seller but also to sort them using filters like size, color, and price.

Item search

This function must be mandatory for shoppers to pick up items with convenient search functionality, intuitive product filtering, and simple product cards.

Product page

This page gives buyers a detailed description and several images to allow them to see the product from different angles with all details.

Payment

All transactions between buyers and sellers go through a payment gateway. This option allows buyers to pay using credit/debit cards or PayPal and enables sellers to get their money easily.

Apps like Poshmark use escrow payments, which means a third party regulates the payments between the two parties involved in the transaction. The escrow payments secure transactions since the escrow provider keeps the payment until all conditions are met. In terms of Poshmark similar marketplaces, until the buyers acknowledge receipt the payment will be withheld.

Trends: Poshmark vs Mercari vs Depop vs ThredUP

How do websites like Poshmark make money?

As we mentioned earlier Poshmark is a peer-to-peer marketplace where people sell new or used products to interested buyers.

If an item passes the threshold of 500$ (and thus classifies as a luxury good), Poshmark handles the authentication process. Other duties include the conducting of the payment and logistics.

Poshmark made many ways to monetize its user base.

Adding items

To list products on a marketplace, sellers have to pay fees. For example, Etsy charges sellers $0.20 to list one product on the website for four months.

Peer-To-Peer Sales

Poshmark does have any inventory but acts as a facilitator of the transaction. To provide this service, it takes a percentage from each transaction. Therefore, the Poshmark business model is called commission-based.

The platform focuses on making the process transparent as possible for its sellers, unlike its competitors. For every sale below $15, the company charges a flat fee of $2.95. Any sale above the $15 mark, a 20 percent commission is charged.

Boutique

Boutique sellers on Poshmark are sellers that operate more professionally, similar to a mortar store. To be a boutique on Poshmark means that the products sold are authentic, in new condition, and of good quality.

There is a couple of rules for boutique sellers, they should provide clear photos and product descriptions as proof of where the goods were bought. If you want to become a boutique seller, you need to get certified.

Wholesale

In late 2015, Poshmark introduced a new service called Poshmark Wholesale. The portal allows sellers to buy bigger quantities of inventory to sell in their stores.

As such, sellers can take advantage of price discounts and make greater profits on their listings. To access the wholesale portal, sellers need to have at 10 or more sales, a rating of 4.5 or above, and the Boutique Certification.

Within the portal, sellers buy from established wholesale retailers such as April Spirit or Function & Fringe. Similar to the peer-to-peer transactions, Poshmark takes a percentage cut from each wholesale transaction.

Promoted listings

There can be fees for items that a seller wants to be shown above others to get more visibility and attract potential buyers.

Is it possible to build a successful website like Poshmark?

It is better to have a detailed plan if you want to build a successful marketplace alternative to Poshmark. Here are several useful tips to consider while you building your application.

Positive customer experience

Providing a positive customer experience is very important for business nowadays. It means not only happy customers as a result of your performance but it can also bring you additional income.

Poshmark provides quick shipping with PoshPost (in cooperation with USPS). PoshPost doesn’t require stamps and troubles. When people buy items, Poshmark offers a pre-paid, pre-addressed label ready to be stuck on the box. After the purchase has been packaged, the seller can drop it off at a USPS mailbox or even have it picked up for free from their home!

Build a community

The key feature of Poshmark is its wide community. It isn’t only about fashion eCommerce but also a community where people can connect with each other and share their choices and preferences in fashion.

Posh Parties are organized by the platform and these shopping events allow people to meet up in the Poshmark app for shopping, sharing, and selling outfits and accessories. Posh Parties are a great opportunity to find listings and to get new followers.

Besides, Poshmark organizes PoshFests where people can meet their so-called Posh friends, listen to industry experts, learn how to grow a business, and get insights.

Creating a community and events are great engagement tools with your customers. Let’s overview what benefits get Poshmark from its social activity.

Prevent scams and inauthentic items

Fake goods as fashion items from exclusive designers are one of the main problems of online marketplaces. Poshmark fights with this issue via not releasing payment until the buyer confirms they’ve received the order that matches the description. Buyers have three days to return a product to the seller in case an item is misrepresented. If there is no claim is made within three days after delivery, payment is automatically sent to the seller. After that buyers won’t be able to get a refund.

Is secondhand marketplace a promising area for development?

Yes, it is a definitely promising avenue. There is a forecast that brand clothing (that was used before) market will reach $25 billion by the end of 2025, and its growth, although slowing, will still be well above the average growth of the trade market of clothing. We should admit that the secondhand market is really big and fast-growing. Only in the United States is the branded second-hand clothing market was $18 billion in 2019, or about 4% of the American clothing retail market according to the ThredUP report.

Is it expensive to build an app like Poshmark?

The price depends on many factors, including the number and complexity of features, development company rates, and whether the project is going to be developed from scratch or not. We recommend you to start development from an MVP that helps to understand how the users perceive a product, the barriers to its performances, and the improvements that can be made for improving the usefulness of the product in terms of UX, UI, and the technical aspects. After all these aspects get analyzed, then you can invest confidently in the future development of a product, think about premium features and services, and expect to get a good return on the investment. According to our estimation, the custom development from scratch will cost approximately $100 000.

Where should I start to design an app like Poshmark?

Building your unique solution can be a risky business so before start, you should better plan everything properly. It starts with an idea but if you do not know how to shape that idea and what audience will use your solution, then you will not uncover the full potential of your future project. So how to avoid this and create a solution that your potential audience needs? The answer is – concern the discovery phase before you initiate the software development. According to our experience whatever you represent (a startup or a successful company that needs digitalization), you need to dive into the discovery phase even if you think that you know everything about your business, future app, and potential users. On top of that, holistic research and gathering of information can help you to identify and eliminate all possible risks.

How much does it cost to build a website like Poshmark?

This is a matter of common interest, we can calculate the approximate cost of developing a social commerce application like Poshmark. The cost consists of many factors, including the number and complexity of features, development company rates, and whether the project is going to be developed from scratch.

The development from scratch of an MVP will take 3-5 months. The development of a social commerce marketplace like Poshmark in the US and Europe will cost you around $160 000. To build such a project in Ukraine, it will cost approximately $100 000. That’s the cost of custom development from scratch.

Update:

South Korean portal Naver is buying social marketplace Poshmark for $1.2 billion. Poshmark shares have recently fallen to a quarter of the IPO price, which made the purchase quite cheap.

Well, of course, Naver states that the company’s technology will allow for a qualitatively different development of the marketplace. Naver, let me remind you, is one of the few companies successfully competing in the local search market with Google – in fact, there are only three of them left now, Yandex, Naver and Baidu. https://www.theinformation.com/briefings/south-koreas-naver-to-buy-poshmark-for-1-2-billion

List of Top Mobile App Development Companies | World’s Best Mobile App Developers

What is the importance of mobile apps?

Mobile applications simply explained, are software programs that are specially developed for smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices to enhance their functionality and edutainment value. Mobile applications are developed around utilities like sports, fitness, news, shopping, navigation, etc.

With more and more people spending more time online, particularly on their mobile devices to read the news, buy goods and services, book their travel, manage their finances, etc. no business today can afford to be off this digital bandwagon. More and more business are realizing that reaching out to millions of consumers across the world and exploring unknown markets through mobile devices requires more a mobile-friendly website. You need dedicated applications to interact with your consumers. Here are some reasons why your business absolutely needs a mobile application:

› REACH TO YOUR CONSUMERS DIRECTLY:

Mobile applications help you reach directly to your existing and prospective consumers with offers, product ranges, search feature, their account, notifications, etc. Mobile applications have a great feature of push notifications because of which the consumers do not have to go out looking for information.

› ENHANCED VISIBILITY:

A customized, feature-rich, and well-designed application is retentive in the minds of the consumers for a long time to come. It is a very potent form of advertising in the most direct form.

› BETTER CUSTOMER LOYALTY:

A mobile application transforms the way in which you interact with your consumers. These days applications have inbuilt forms for feedback which can be used to solve challenges and problems. This improves customer loyalty and helps your business stand out from the competition. In the longer run, this results in better profitability and sustainability for your business.

How to choose the best mobile app development company?

In the last two decades, due to advancement in mobile application technology, the need for companies providing enterprise has raised manifolds. These range from start-ups, entrepreneurs, and even Fortune 500 companies. However, very few mobile app development companies have survived amidst the fierce competition. With so many choices, it can get a little overwhelming for businesses to choose from amongst the multiple options. Here is how the best mobile app development company can be chosen:

› SEE THE WORK PORTFOLIO:

By having a look at the work portfolio says a lot about the capabilities, capacities, and diversity of the kind of clients that the mobile app development company has had. This is the best way to get to know the expertise of the team and the way they have handled the projects. The number of years of experience that a company is also a good indication of their stability in the market.

› CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

This is the most impartial way to know the capabilities and delivery capacity of a mobile app development company. You should check for favourable customer reviews and feedback before selecting any company.

› SECURITY OF THE APPLICATION:

The prospective mobile app development company should have a security plan to safeguard the idea, concept, and execution of your application in place. They should be ready to sign a non-disclosure agreement exclusively for your application.

› PROJECT EXECUTION AND DELIVERY CAPABILITIES:

You should choose companies only after assessing their style of execution and delivery timeline. This means clearly laying down the number of days that they will take in producing your mobile application so that there are no shortfalls in the delivery and delays in project execution.

Which Questions to Ask App Development Team Before You Hire Them?

In order to make a better decision while choosing a mobile app development company, there are certain questions that you need to ask them. Here is a list of questions:

› WILL A DEDICATED TEAM MANAGE MY PROJECT?

This is a critical factor that decides the success or failure of any app development project. A dedicated team at the mobile app development side with the requisite amount of experience and capability has a direct correlation with the success of the project.

› WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF PROJECT DELIVERY?

This is again an important question to ask the mobile app developers. You need to be clear about each stage of delivery and understand if the team will share shippable software and manage the coding, testing, and bug fixing efficiently.

› IS IT POSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT MID-WAY?

There is a possibility that you share a prototype of your software with your end users and there is important feedback that needs to be incorporated. The team should be flexible enough to adjust the project priorities and make adjustments.

› DOES THE MOBILE APP DEVELOPMENT COMPANY WRITE AUTOMATED UNIT TESTS?

This is the best way to arrest any bugs that might have gotten into the software codes during the production process. This is even more critical as and when the application grows. With new features and codes, it becomes difficult to arrest the bugs. Automated unit tests will alert developers in time before the bugs break anything.

What is the average cost of app development?

Developing a mobile application is not as expensive as it is deemed to be. Once the objectives of the mobile application are defined, it is easy to break down the cost into various elements.

These elements are:

1. Type of mobile application: Whether it is going to be used for entertainment, games, navigation, lifestyle, finance, etc.
2. Platforms: Windows, Android, iOS.
3. Design of the mobile application.
4. Number of pages that you expect the mobile app to have.
5. Type of application and its objectives.
6. Database management.
7. What kind of ERP integrations do you expect?
8. What kind of CRM Integrations do you expect?
9. Mobile API.
10. Content Management System.
11. Analytics: Google Analytics etc.
12. Mobile Payments: PayPal, Bitcoin, PayTM.
13. E-Commerce integration: Use of in-app coupons, and loyalty coupons.
14. Users: Feedback, Email login, social media integration, activity feed, and Accounts.
15. Any extra features: Camera, 3rd Party API, Chat, Gallery, Rating system, QR Codes, Social sharing, etc.

Snapchat and Instagram Face Filters

Snapchat and Instagram are the two mobile applications that literally blew away the community with their updates and innovations a number of times. The special filters that identify the faces in the picture are among the most significant innovative features. The feature receives an image through a smartphone camera’s lenses and puts funny elements over it (a dog face or a flower crown, for example), which is an implementation of the augmented reality technology (AR).

In the given article, we will describe how Snapchat filters work, find out the basics of the Snapchat technology and describe the most common tools for the creation of software alike.

How Snapchat filters work: let’s begin with bare facts

For starters, let’s try to make sure that your application will be capable of bringing a decent profit after the release. In order to do that, you will have to analyze the MSQRD app development phenomenon.

Particularly, in the last few years, the filters have become quite a strong trend in the mobile software development sphere. Just check out the numbers – 1,6 million downloads of the MSQRD app, and that is only at the moment when Facebook decided to purchase it to repeat the success of the Snapchat facial recognition software (which engages around 173 million users with the smartphone’s screen daily). Impressed by the popularity of this type of software? We know that we are. Thus, let’s continue on with the principles of its creation.

How Snapchat filters work: general development principles

So, how to develop a face filter app? The first thing you will need to do is to choose the suitable API. The most commonly used ones among the developers are Google Cloud Vision API for Android, Google Mobile Vision iOS API, Microsoft Cognitive Services, and Core Image API. Let’s figure out by what principles they operate.

In particular, each API goes through two phases in order to recognize a face: image analysis phase and image processing phase. Let’s consider each in details.

The first phase is a quite complex one from the perspective of the used algorithms’ structure. The algorithms, in turn, are commonly applied in machine learning and require the application of the electronic Gaussian filter. Usually, to implement the phase, a combination of such methods is used – Histogram of Oriented Gradients and Support Vector Machine (note that they are applicable only to photos and are not able to recognize the faces in the turned on camera mode).

The first method divides the image into interconnected cells. The cells are analyzed in various scales and, based on the direction of the brim and intensity of the color gradient, it is defined whether a certain fragment features a face or not (the second method – SVM is used for that process). Then, after the face is identified, the analysis and recognition of its separate elements begin (of eyes, lips, brows, etc.). For that, the operation of the facial landmark detection is conducted (you can find out more details about this procedure in this article). The operation scans the part of an image with a face (the app identifies it as a fragment situated inside the restricting frame created via the previous methods) and indicates the precise coordinates of all the facial elements on the 2D plane.

The Viola-Jones method based on the computer vision can be used as an alternative to HOG and SVM. It employs cascade classifiers and is able to recognize the faces in real-time mode. You can find out more info on this method in this scientific article.

Thus, we received an image fragment constricted by the limiting frame which includes a human face with 2D coordinates that define the location of cheekbones, brows, eyes, mouth, and nose. The next processing stage for this fragment will be an augmentation of a certain virtual object – the so-called mask (on the example of Snapchat – a dog face or a flower crown). Again, the received facial landmarks are used for that. They make possible the situation of a new object in the required place and scaled accordingly (for instance, when a flower crown image is augmented, the software defines the location of a forehead and temporal region). Moving on, let’s get to practice and try to choose the best suitable library for the implementation of the above mentioned processes.

You will have to accept the fact that to date, not a single library composed using additional software tools can precisely locate the facial landmarks. Doesn’t matter what library we take – an extremely popular OpenCV or some other not that widely used option. Let’s take for an example one of the most renowned IT-companies out there – PixLab, which firmly holds the niche of a provider of mobile software that features advanced graphical technologies. According to its programmers team’s experience in the facial filters app development, the most productive results can be achieved using the combination of Dlib and MagickWand libraries.

Also, among the favorites of many developers are such libraries as Stasm (used to indicate the facial landmarks; in order to create the restricting frame, you will have to apply third-party software solutions), Cambridge Face Tracker (this library also requires additional tools for face recognition), GPUImage (compatible only with the iOS-based projects), and libccy (this library is used for face recognition but is unable to define the coordinates of the facial landmarks). You can figure out the best fitting option for your particular case only by trial and error.

Back to theory. What else is required to begin the face detection masks development

Suppose you successfully picked the tools. Are there any other guidelines that could help create filters for your cool augmented reality technology-based app? Yes, there are. We present our own list below. The listed features are guaranteed to make your application stand out among other software with similar functionality.

Use up-to-date masks design. It seems reasonable to enrich your solution with concepts actively employed by other apps. Namely, the all-encompassing cuteness overload and kawaii. On the other hand, you can go with a political topic and create masks inspired by the image of some media characters. For that purpose. employ the services of a separate graphical designers team closely familiar with the latest tendencies that will be able to create something unique and memorable for you.

Employ the latest graphical solutions. Do not limit your designers’ space for imagination. Let them realize the most insane (seeming at first) ideas. This approach to creating the new masks can, with a great probability, grant their increasing popularity.

Work with professionals. Independent development of a filter-rich app is a very presumptuous step. It is better to employ the help of experts who have successfully implemented several projects with a face detection feature as machine self-learning uses quite complex for understanding technologies. Remember – you do not get a second chance to prove yourself to your target audience.

Integrate your app with renowned social networks. It is very important to provide your users with the ability to share the processed photos with their friends. Remember to integrate your application with popular social networks for that purpose (such a feature can also make a registration process significantly easier).

How to make face tracking filters: summary

As we can see, the development of filters that work by the mechanics similar to Snapchat or Instagram face detection is not a simple process. Considering the colossal profit an app can potentially bring after the release, we strongly recommend you to employ a team of experts for its development.

The Complete Guide to Tech Glitch and How to Avoid It

What is a Tech Glitch?

A tech glitch is a minor technical error in the computer system that is not severe enough to make the system inoperable.

A tech glitch can be due to human error, hardware malfunctions, software bugs, or any other unforeseen issues.

The best way to handle a tech glitch is to reboot the computer and see if it fixes the issue. If it doesn’t, then you will need to contact your IT team for help.

What Causes Technical Glitches?

A system glitch is a sudden, temporary malfunction in a system, often caused by improper input or an unexpected event. The term is most often used to describe failures in electrical power systems and data networks.

A technical system failure is the inability of a computer system to operate as intended. This can be caused by hardware failure, software failure, or human error.

Computer crash refers to the sudden, usually fatal termination of operation of an electronic device due to malfunction. This can be caused by hardware failure, software failure, or human error.

What are the Consequences of Tech Glitches?

The consequences of tech glitches are often not as bad as we may think. Sometimes, they can be helpful to us in a way that we didn’t expect.

Examples:

-Google Maps was able to find a lost driver in the Australian outback

-A software glitch caused an ATM to give away $13 million

-An iPhone 6s user’s phone autocorrected “I’m gay” to “I’m happy”

How Can You Avoide a Tech Glitch?

Technology is not perfect. There will always be some sort of glitch. But there are ways to avoid them and protect your data.

If you want to avoid a tech glitch, you first need to know what type of tech glitch it is. Some glitches are more severe than others and require different fixes.

There are many ways that you can protect your data from glitches in the system. One way is by backing up your data on a regular basis, but this can be difficult for most people to do on their own. Another way is by using a virtual private network (VPN) which encrypts all of the data that goes through it, making it much harder for any third parties to access your personal information without permission.

No matter how well you protect yourself from these glitches, there’s no stopping the fact that your data will be exposed.

Some of the first known cases of data leaks by social media sites resulted from Twitter and Facebook, where hackers were able to access user account information through third-party applications. In both cases, hackers could also access passwords for users and other private text messages sent to or from other users.

How to Avoid Technical Glitches that May Occur When Using Technology

What is a Tech Glitch and What Causes It?

A tech glitch is a technical error that occurs in a computer system, software or other technology. The glitches can be caused by a number of factors and can vary in severity.

One of the most common causes of tech glitches is human error. This can happen when somebody accidentally deletes an important file from their computer or when they mistakenly enter the wrong password. Glitches can also happen due to natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes, which may result in power outages and damage to infrastructure such as phone lines or internet cables.

How to Fix a Tech Glitch

Technology glitches are common in our lives. From the time we wake up to the time we go to bed, we experience them. It is a part of life that cannot be avoided. We can’t live without technology and it is not going anywhere anytime soon. So, it is best to know how to fix a technical glitch when it happens so that you can continue your day without interruption.

Top 6 car diagnostic software for Windows and Mac in 2022

An OBD auto scanner is used to receive data codes and other information about the car’s general conditions. We’ve gathered 6 best automotive diagnostic software solutions that provide a simple and acceptable way to monitor your car’s health.

A smart vehicle is able to adjust its performance to reduce fuel consumption, show the best direction based on road and weather conditions, detect engine errors, and collect data to lower insurance rates. Most vehicles are equipped with on-board diagnostics or an OBD2 port that provides access to engine control unit (ECU) data. An external device must be connected to obtain the information.

An automated OBD scanner is used to retrieve data codes and other information about the general condition of the vehicle. You can buy diagnostic software that will allow you to connect a laptop computer to the vehicle’s OBD system, but knowledge of automotive repair is also usually required.

As usual the automotive application consists of two components:

The device, an equipment configuration interface that connects to the vehicle’s onboard computer and the application itself on the computer.
The car diagnostics application analyzes the records and works as a smart assistant when the car owner drives the car. It analyzes many aspects of the trip and gives the user useful tips: how to behave more carefully, how to reduce fuel consumption and how to extend the life of the car. The main purpose of apps is to give the driver more information about their car. Vehicle maintenance apps usually help keep track of vehicle maintenance and gasoline fill-ups.

With a vehicle monitoring app that can be customized to meet the needs of your organization and customers, you can make sure your drivers are following best practices.

Facebook bans developer behind Unfollow Everything tool

Facebook banned a developer from using its tool permanently. This developer created a tool that allowed users to automatically unfollow friends or groups on Facebook.

Facebook Bans Unfollowing Everything Developer

Louis Barclay is the developer and creator of “Unfollow Everything”. He wrote an article for Slate about his experiences using the tool.

He stated that the feeling of not following everything was “near miraculous” and that he hadn’t lost anything since he could still visit his favorite friends and groups by going directly to them.

Barclay said that he had so much control over the account that he wasn’t tempted to scroll through the News Feed.

He stated that his Facebook spending had decreased significantly and that his addiction to Facebook was manageable.

“Unfollow Everything” is a browser extension that allows users to delete their News Feed content. According to The verge, it allows them to delete all their connections at once.

It allows users to unfollow friends, groups and pages. It will remove their content from your News Feed. It automatically cleaned up the News Feed and did so instantly.

Cease and Desist Letter

Facebook wrote Barclay a cease and desist letter several months ago. It stated that Barclay had violated the platform’s terms of service by creating software which automated user interactions according to TechSpot.

Barclay claimed that his Instagram and Facebook accounts were permanently deleted by the social media company.

He was also required by the company to promise not to create tools that could affect the platform or any of its services.

Barclay points out that, in addition to helping users, his tool was also used at the Swiss University of Neuchatel by researchers to study the impact of the News Feed’s effects on user happiness and mental health. He stated that he couldn’t risk suing the company in court and so he removed his tool.

Barclay’s story was published just as Facebook is dealing with another internal problem. Frances Haugen from Facebook, the whistleblower, testified before Congress this week about the company’s desire for “growth,” at the expense of its user’s well being.

Haugen stated that users are responsible for the profits in an episode of 60 Minutes. She leaked documents from internal research that was conducted by the company. It shows how Instagram can lead to body problems and mental health issues in teens.

Barclay’s story differs from Haugen’s. Facebook’s terms and conditions are very clear about the tools that users can create, and “Unfollow Everything” violated them.

The episode gives the public a glimpse into Facebook’s strategy towards its users. It also reveals how Facebook wants to make its users believe they have control, when in reality they don’t.

Although the company allows users to unfollow individuals, automating the process would allow them to remove their News Feed. This is necessary to keep the platform’s traffic flowing and would be very helpful.

Barclay’s tool will stop the platform getting advertising revenue. Barclay’s tool has been forbidden.

Facebook has not responded to Barclay’s story.

We’ve contacted Facebook about this story and will update if we hear back.
