toshodei: Even take a look at NL (Nairaland) although I dont think it is a great example. NL is the number 8 on top visited sites in Nigeria, but only few people have bothered in downloading its app. does NL have an app? Since wen? 1 Like |

toshodei: Thank you for letting this make front page. What device do most 9jerians/Africans use to browse the internet? Mobile/Smartphones? Desktops/Laptops? Many 9jerians/Africans own more mobile devices/smartphones than desktops/laptops but it seems as if mobile devices/smartphones are only used for chatting. To be more clear, here is what I mean: God bless U! Intelligent and very helpful. 1 Like |

MissMeiya: I don't know. I soooo think it's sexy when a girl talks about programming.. I'm falling for you already. I think this is a great post and should have gotten more hits than this, God bless whoever put it on d frontpage.. I would go with a web strategy first using a cloud based database for easily making data accessible to all platforms (scalability) eventually. A web first strategy works everytime. Although it largely depends on how much your resources are and what your dev team looks like. If you can work and rollout both at once fine, but if not go for web first. It has the advantage of being accessible from multiple devices and from what I can tell today, the very first mobile app you would like to develop would be android, but the market is still largely mixed btw blackberry, iOS, android, windows phone etc. So my conclusion. Develop a mobile website along with your regular website and see about the mobile apps later. Web still trumps mobile. 2 Likes |

Thats what we were talking about. I think Nigerian Developers are better in developing mobile (web) apps than in developing mobile (native) apps. |

You need no other prophet to tell you that; Mobile Apps will bring more usability than web Apps. though, you may reconsider the web Apps later. 1 Like |

mediachirps: You need no other prophet to tell you that; Mobile Apps will bring more usability than web Apps. though, you may reconsider the web Apps later. I totally beg to differ.. Mobile apps are more personal I agree. But web apps will always get more usage. Take for instance; I have a friend that doesn't make use of facebook mobile app when his MB is either getting low or is low already. He's a developer like myself and he understands that using a browser like operamini helps you control the way your data is used. Also, sites like aliexpress and a few others that do not yet have a blackberry app and others. If they didn't have a web presence that would be a huge cut in sales. 2 Likes |

As a lover of good apps I'd say mobile unless you've gat a real catchy app. I only take dpains to open my browser for a really worthy cause *winks* on second thoughts, what do you lose having them both? 2 Likes |

MissMeiya: Miss Developer I meant " Every SIngle " , and am sure you knew what i meant. If your App is only left to be on Web, You are not ready Yet ! The Only reason Nairaland hasn't taken Mobile App too serious is because " There is no tough competition for it " Why do you think Facebook bought Instagram and Whatsapp ? Reason is : They lost the mobile war to both of them. Simple !!! Not that they can't create their own version of Instagram and WhatsApp put together. 1 Like |
