MOBILE

AI features in mobile apps everywhere. But usage data tells a different story than what the hype suggests. Here's what people are actually using and paying for.

Nine years building mobile apps. The native vs cross-platform debate isn't settled by hype. Here's what the data actually shows and what it means for your next app.

On-device AI models (Apple Intelligence, Google Gemini Nano) make offline-first AI possible. Real patterns for building features that work without internet.

Shipping production mobile apps since 2017. Architectural decisions that held up, ones that didn't, and what I'd do differently if I started over today.

The New Architecture (Fabric, JSI) is finally complete and React Native is mature now. But is it still the right choice for your next mobile project?

Chatbots are table stakes now. The real frontier is AI agents that autonomously take sequences of actions on behalf of users. Here's how to build it.

iOS 18 shipped in November. SwiftUI is finally, genuinely production-ready for complex enterprise apps. That fundamentally changes everything for iOS teams.

Users now expect AI everywhere. Mobile apps without natural language interfaces feel outdated. The question isn't whether to add AI—it's how to do it.

Apple and Google are both shipping on-device AI. It's not about convenience. It's about control, privacy, and the end of cloud dependency for certain tasks.

Looking back at 2023: it's the year AI features landed in mainstream apps. Siri got better, Bard integrated with Google apps, ChatGPT app shipped. What it means for mobile.

Flutter 3 matured through 2023. Enterprise adoption is real. Here's my honest assessment: can you actually use Flutter for serious business apps?

Post-ChatGPT, everyone wants AI in their app. Here's what actually works on mobile, what doesn't, and what users actually want.

Field workers, logistics coordinators, retail staff—they're all on mobile. But most ERP systems are still built desktop-first with mobile bolted on. Here's why that's wrong.

App charts show vanity metrics. Downloads, MAU, session length. User retention predicts revenue. Retention is driven by performance. Here's what metrics actually matter.

Flutter 3.0 shipped in May. React Native architecture in progress. After shipping both, frameworks converged but ecosystems pull in different directions.

Half the world uses 2G or 3G. Devices cost $50-150. Standard apps fail. Emerging market growth requires rethinking everything. Design for constraints, not features.

App Store policy changes. iOS privacy updates. Flutter 2.0. Three separate shifts that converge to make 2021 genuinely different for mobile development.

Flutter 2.0 shipped stable web support in March. Four months later, we've been testing heavily. Here's whether Flutter Web is actually production-ready.

I was wrong about mobile e-commerce adoption. The pandemic acceleration was real. Here's why mobile-first is non-negotiable for 2021.

Flutter web support is growing in 2020. Everyone's asking: is Flutter actually the answer to cross-platform development now? Here's what the code reveals.

COVID drove contactless payments, QR menus, and app-based ordering. Temporary crisis measures became permanent. Mobile app requirements fundamentally shifted.

April 2020, deep lockdown. Our team shipped mobile apps from home while the economy collapsed. What that experience taught us about building resilient teams.

From iPhone launch in 2007 to 2019, mobile transformed business completely and forever. What the next decade brings might be even more radical and disrupting.

Nine months into Flutter 1.0 stable, I've watched dozens of enterprises deploy real production apps. Here's what works, what doesn't, and why it matters.

App stores are saturated. Everyone thinks ASO is dead. But mid-2019 proves it's actually more important than ever before for staying visible and discoverable.

Mobile apps that fail without internet destroy user trust. Offline-first architecture isn't a feature—it's a foundational design decision with consequences.

2018 is ending with mobile usage definitively dominant. Here's what that means for how we build enterprise software in 2019 and beyond.

Flutter Beta shipped in June. The response has been overwhelming. Here's my assessment of where Flutter is headed and why it's genuinely different.

Cordova is fading. Hybrid development peaked. Here's why the native vs. hybrid debate settled and what it means for your mobile strategy going forward.

Flutter was barely stable in early 2018. Everyone else dismissed it. Here's why Arvension bet on it before the rest of the industry caught on.

We've been using React Native for a year on an enterprise app. Facebook's using it. Airbnb's using it. But there are costs nobody talks about.

Mobile internet surpassed desktop in 2016. Progressive Web Apps are maturing. Enterprise software still looks like a 2005 web application.
