We are returning from vacation with a new digest that has a long travel guide story, the closure of Daydream, the most beautiful applications of the Material Design Awards 2019, dark themes and product growth, the application market in the 3rd quarter and the many-faceted Retention.
In the article I will share my experience and tell you how for 5 years I occasionally worked on the development of a smart guidebook for St. Petersburg, how I managed not to abandon this business, how the attitude towards the project changed and what happened in the end.
This digest is available as a weekly newsletter . A daily news we send to
