The last year's recap seems now like it has been written in an entirely different reality. And truth be told - it was. I’ve dedicated 
to our presence at international trade shows (there were 4 of them, and we flew over 28 k kilometers to attend them!), our epic off-line parties, and meeting face to face with our partners. Then 2020 came and put everything upside down.
Hello, my name is Kazimierz Szołtysik, and I have been a Ruby developer at Railwaymen since July 2020. Since 2015 I have been consistently writing and developing applications in Ruby and Ruby on Rails. Why Ruby? Because in my opinion, it is the most readable and elegant of all backend languages I have come across so far. Programming in it is a lot of fun, and you can create a very clear and extremely readable code in it. Why Ruby on Rails? Because thanks to creating this framework in 2015, it became possible to develop fully independent web applications using the Ruby language.
The year 2020 is over. It was for us (and most of the worldwide software companies) a year of remote working. Still, we wonder when we will get back to regular work in the office. Nevertheless, these obstacles did not prevent us from developing our content strategy efficiently. It's time to summarize our achievements on the blog.
The decision has been made, you’re setting up your business.
Cost Estimation for Application development is really quite a complex process. Depending on the type of application and it’s size different types of specialists are needed to make it. Let's take a look at the Facebook example. The company built different variants of its most popular apps. Both Facebook and Messenger have equivalents in version Lite that are reduced in features and are dedicated to older mobile devices. Undoubtedly, these applications' cost estimation will vary significantly from the versions of the full apps.The scope of the project has a huge impact on the cost estimation process.
The history of web applications takes us almost 30 years (!!!) back in time. On December 25th of 1990 at CERN, a Swiss research center, a British physicist and internet pioneer Tim Berners-Lee created the world's first web browser, called WorldWideWeb.
So you're thinking about building your own application. You're in the right place. From this article, you'll know everything about becoming an application owner. People who are inexperienced with the IT industry usually think that they need to have the advanced technical knowledge to create a digital product. But it is not true. You don't have to be a developer to make your own application. You can be the brains of it and have others design it for you. But from the idea to the actual app, there are some steps you should go through.
2021 is slowly ending. A few days ago, we published an article about graphic design trends for 2022. It's time to find out which trends will thrive in the mobile app development world in the coming year. Why is it worth paying attention to that? The mobile app market is constantly growing. The latest Sensor Tower data shows that worldwide mobile app revenue and downloads increase year to year. In Q3 2020, global consumer spending on mobile apps reached $29.3 billion. The installations expanded to 36.5 billion across Apple’s App Store and Google Play. Compared to the Q3 of 2019, the revenue is 32% higher, and the number of installations grew by 23%. It is an impressive score. The last quarter of 2020 gathers untypical growth. The pandemic of Covid-19 impacts the mobile application business. The customers spend more time using their mobile devices.
Few weeks ago I read a CleverTap article that says 28% of the global apps are uninstalled after 30 days, 21% of apps are used once during the first 6 months. That got me thinking, "What happened?". For some reason, those people downloaded the app from the App Store. They certainly noticed something interesting in it. I have deepened the research, and I found out that lack of value, low engagement, and unfriendly design are the most common reasons. How to deal with those difficulties? Well, app owners should focus on building a successful app from the very beginning of software development. This article will show you how to do that.
Did you know that 56% of users uninstall apps within just 7 days of installation? Reasons are very simple: users prefer apps that are up-to-date and “require less space, load faster and are stable," says MoEngage study. The answer to these issues may be regular maintenance of an app. Have you heard about it before? Probably yes, but surprisingly, a significant percentage of customers totally forget about this phase and do not include an app maintenance cost in the software development plan.
