‘So You Want To Build An App? Twitter Has A Playbook’ – ‘ReadWrite’
Kate Lawrence says, “Twitter the company is sometimes burdened by sharing a name with Twitter the app. It knows a lot more about building mobile apps than its simple-seeming flagship might suggest.
That’s the not-so-subtle message of Twitter’s first edition of a playbook for mobile apps that developer advocate Bear Douglas posted last week. AtTwitter’s 2015 Flight developer conference, Twitter showed off Vine and Periscope, two apps it acquired and has continued to develop in-house using Fabric, a set of programming frameworks and toolkits unveiled in 2014.
Douglas described Twitter’s experiences using its own tools to build two showcase apps: magnetic poetry app Cannonball and Furni, a sample furniture-store app. (These aren’t new lines of business for Twitter—more like coding examples, as they’re both available as open source on GitHub“.
