Hollow

SPOILER WARNING FOR SCAVENGERS REIGN.

Many people have remarked on the parallels between Levi and Hollow. One is a human creation changed and given sentience by the planet, the other is a native of the planet altered by her experiences with a human. Both have a connection to Fiona: Levi because Fiona programmed them, Hollow because memories/visions of Fiona are the primary way she communicates with Kamen.

From the get-go, Levi is established as a character with agency. One of their first on-screen actions is to troll Azi by burying her wrench, and when Azi asks why, Levi replies, "I don't know. I was curious about how you'd react." Levi is bipedal and verbal, things we associate with humanity, so even setting aside their quirky behavior, we are already primed to see them as human-like, if kinda weird. Throughout the show Levi continues to perform autonomous actions, to be motivated by curiosity and wonder, and eventually to assert their own personhood, establish boundaries, and form a meaningful relationship with Azi. They have goals, they have motives, they have an arch. Before this, Levi was just a machine. They are uplifted by the planet.

Hollow, on the other hand, often comes across less as a character and more like a blank slate onto which the viewer is invited to project metaphors: metaphors about Kamen's psychological dysfunction/moral failings, metaphors about the corrupting influence of humans on the natural world, metaphors about avarice or addiction or any number of things, none of them good. Even the name (never spoken but present in subtitles) implies an empty vessel. In contrast to Levi, Hollow is non-verbal (she uses psychic projections to communicate, but has no voice of her own), small, and quadrupedal. We are primed to see her first and foremost as an animal: an innocent, living in (from our outsider human perspective, at least) harmony with nature. A little creepy, a little cute. But also a being lacking in any real self-awareness or moral agency. This, though, is presented as her ideal state. Her growing power and agency, throughout the narrative, is framed as a downgrade, as borrowed, inauthentic, and destructive...and is ultimately ripped away.

True, Hollow is given a bit of characterization when we first meet her. She is being bullied/intimidated by a larger member of her species, and she appears discouraged by this. But for the most part her motives and choices are either impenetrably alien or presented ambiguously. Maybe she decides to adopt Kamen as her thrall, despite his alien nature, because she feels frustrated and powerless and has decided to take a risk on something new...or perhaps even sees him as a kindred spirit, a fellow outcast. Or maybe she just happens across him and is reacting to her environment in the stimulus-response, amoral kind of way we associate with less complex animals.

All her choices after that feel similarly ambiguous. When Kamen first gives her fresh meat and she eats it, it feels like crossing a boundary. She's obviously an omnivore or she wouldn't be able to digest it, but this moment has an almost Original Sin type of vibe, Hollow the Adam of her planet and Kamen as her Eve offering the forbidden fruit...or is she just eating whatever her human puts in front of her, like a Golden Retriever? Does the blame lie with her "owner"?

From there it's a spiral. More and more meat, then experimenting with cannibalism, then becoming increasingly ruthless with her thrall as a means of pushing him to hunt larger prey. Is that her, or is that Kamen's greed and insecurity leaking into her? Is it both?

When Kamen remembers his wife's death and pleads with Hollow to take away the pain and she straight-up unbirths him and bids him sleep, is she doing this out of empathy for him, or is she (again) simply responding in a stimulus-response way to the alien emotions seeping into her? Her face gives few clues; a slight narrowing of the eyes, an implacable blankness.

And yet there are indications that her species has human or near-human intelligence. The ability to psychically manipulate a codependent thrall, to present him with narratives laden with emotional cues that push him to respond in certain ways, is a skill that feels ethically dubious by its nature and therefore linked with personhood. As humans, we are defined by our narratives, by our capacity to manipulate each other through them. She becomes the model of a person she has never met inside another person's head. Does it feel like writing a character?

And she does not merely pick and choose memories, she speaks through them. When Kamen is about to flee the safety of the cave and blunder out into a storm that will likely kill him, Hollow becomes Fiona and reminds him of the time he took the canoe out and nearly drowned. "Remember? You were so helpless," she says. Did Fiona ever speak those words to him? Is it like replaying a recording? Or is Hollow RPing her?

When Hollow found Fiona's corpse, what did she think? What did she feel?

In the end, Levi rips away Hollow's physical strength and power, reducing her to what she was before any of this happened. We are left to assume she will return to the forest, go back to her vegan diet and her pre-verbal ways: human notions of purity. The nobility of beasts.

But she looks back.

I don't think she's forgotten. I don't think Levi, the uplifted being who was so very afraid of losing the ways in which they had changed, would have made her forget.

Hello, knitters and crocheters of Tumblr

I come to you with an app idea, not to start any sort of crowdfunding, I don't want to start the next Tumblr scam. This is just something I want to do (actually, already started to do because I have bad impulse control) and I want to see if anyone else would be interested in using it. Again, I am asking for $0.00 MXN (that's $0.00 USD), and it would be a free app, no ads, maybe I'll slap a link to my Ko-Fi in it but that's it.

I am not doing this for profit, I'm doing it because it'll be useful for me, because the idea goblin in my head in insatiable, and my hubris is immeasurable.

Details under the cut, and I'll be adding updates as I go at the end of the post

The idea is:

An app to help you keep track of current knitting and crocheting projects, projects (aka patterns) you want to get to, and materials you need for all that stuff.

The WIP section would have tabs for each project you started, because if you're like me, it won't be just one. Each tab would include:

A row counter

Information on the pattern, like its name, some notes, the section you're currently working on (for patterns with different sections where the row count is reset)

A timer for the time you've been working on that project, because you deserve fair pay if you sell your craft so you have to know how long you've worked on it

The patterns section would have, well, patterns. For at least version 1.0, I'm thinking a list of PDFs that are stored in your phone and open in your phone's PDF viewer.

Finally, the materials section would just be a good old fashioned shopping list. You input items manually, you check 'em as you get 'em.

---------------------------------------------

Update 29/01

I've finished the mockups and the design of the icons I'll be using in the app. I'm going to start moving into coding territory.

Update 06/02

I've started the development and it's going pretty well. I opted for React Native, and while I have experience with React, I was a bit daunted by the idea of going into React Native. But! It's been smooth sailing so far. I've got a sturdy project structure, a functional menu, and an almost functional shopping list.

Update 19/02

I missed last week's update because I was very sick. For most of the first week, after finishing the shopping list, I worked on code organization and documentation. Now that I was sure that I was going to use React Native, I wanted to make sure the project is organized and sturdy. After that, I've been working on the pattern list, which has been a bit of a pain because I want to respect the user's privacy and security and not access the entire filesystem if I don't need to.

Update 27/02

I got frustrated with my troubles with the filesystem, so like any good procrastinator, I put that part aside and started working on other stuff. Apart from tinkering with the style and some background work to improve performance, I've also added support for different languages (currently just English and Spanish because those are the ones I feel confident I won't fuck up the translations, but I'm thinking of later asking for help with more languages), and I've started working on the WIP section.

Update 08/03

I haven't been able to work on it a lot this week because I had a lot of work to do for my actual job (I had to do my job at my job, shocking, I know), but last week I finished building the first functional version of the WIP section. As it is, it's only for one project, but it should be relatively easy to add tabs for multiple projects. I also had the chance to do something like a demo with a potential user, which is just a fancy way of saying I showed what I've done so far to my cousin (a great knitter & crocheter) and she really liked it :D

Update 12/04

Gap in updates because I was a bit overwhelmed by my job so I gave myself a lil vacation on this project. This week I got back to work and now the WIP screen officially supports multiple projects in different tabs. This means the WIP screen is done! Which means I will soon have no choice but to stop procrastinating the pattern list and face my filesystem problems oh no.

---------------------------------------------

The poll has ended but I'm leaving the results up:

The Future of Web Development: Trends, Techniques, and Tools

Web development is a dynamic field that is continually evolving to meet the demands of an increasingly digital world. With businesses relying more on online presence and user experience becoming a priority, web developers must stay abreast of the latest trends, technologies, and best practices. In this blog, we’ll delve into the current landscape of web development, explore emerging trends and tools, and discuss best practices to ensure successful web projects.

Understanding Web Development

Web development involves the creation and maintenance of websites and web applications. It encompasses a variety of tasks, including front-end development (what users see and interact with) and back-end development (the server-side that powers the application). A successful web project requires a blend of design, programming, and usability skills, with a focus on delivering a seamless user experience.

Key Trends in Web Development

Progressive Web Apps (PWAs): PWAs are web applications that provide a native app-like experience within the browser. They offer benefits like offline access, push notifications, and fast loading times. By leveraging modern web capabilities, PWAs enhance user engagement and can lead to higher conversion rates.

Single Page Applications (SPAs): SPAs load a single HTML page and dynamically update content as users interact with the app. This approach reduces page load times and provides a smoother experience. Frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue.js have made developing SPAs easier, allowing developers to create responsive and efficient applications.

Responsive Web Design: With the increasing use of mobile devices, responsive design has become essential. Websites must adapt to various screen sizes and orientations to ensure a consistent user experience. CSS frameworks like Bootstrap and Foundation help developers create fluid, responsive layouts quickly.

Voice Search Optimization: As voice-activated devices like Amazon Alexa and Google Home gain popularity, optimizing websites for voice search is crucial. This involves focusing on natural language processing and long-tail keywords, as users tend to speak in full sentences rather than typing short phrases.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning: AI is transforming web development by enabling personalized user experiences and smarter applications. Chatbots, for instance, can provide instant customer support, while AI-driven analytics tools help developers understand user behavior and optimize websites accordingly.

Emerging Technologies in Web Development

JAMstack Architecture: JAMstack (JavaScript, APIs, Markup) is a modern web development architecture that decouples the front end from the back end. This approach enhances performance, security, and scalability by serving static content and fetching dynamic content through APIs.

WebAssembly (Wasm): WebAssembly allows developers to run high-performance code on the web. It opens the door for languages like C, C++, and Rust to be used for web applications, enabling complex computations and graphics rendering that were previously difficult to achieve in a browser.

Serverless Computing: Serverless architecture allows developers to build and run applications without managing server infrastructure. Platforms like AWS Lambda and Azure Functions enable developers to focus on writing code while the cloud provider handles scaling and maintenance, resulting in more efficient workflows.

Static Site Generators (SSGs): SSGs like Gatsby and Next.js allow developers to build fast and secure static websites. By pre-rendering pages at build time, SSGs improve performance and enhance SEO, making them ideal for blogs, portfolios, and documentation sites.

API-First Development: This approach prioritizes building APIs before developing the front end. API-first development ensures that various components of an application can communicate effectively and allows for easier integration with third-party services.

Best Practices for Successful Web Development

Focus on User Experience (UX): Prioritizing user experience is essential for any web project. Conduct user research to understand your audience's needs, create wireframes, and test prototypes to ensure your design is intuitive and engaging.

Emphasize Accessibility: Making your website accessible to all users, including those with disabilities, is a fundamental aspect of web development. Adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) by using semantic HTML, providing alt text for images, and ensuring keyboard navigation is possible.

Optimize Performance: Website performance significantly impacts user satisfaction and SEO. Optimize images, minify CSS and JavaScript, and leverage browser caching to ensure fast loading times. Tools like Google PageSpeed Insights can help identify areas for improvement.

Implement Security Best Practices: Security is paramount in web development. Use HTTPS to encrypt data, implement secure authentication methods, and validate user input to protect against vulnerabilities. Regularly update dependencies to guard against known exploits.

Stay Current with Technology: The web development landscape is constantly changing. Stay informed about the latest trends, tools, and technologies by participating in online courses, attending webinars, and engaging with the developer community. Continuous learning is crucial to maintaining relevance in this field.

Essential Tools for Web Development

Version Control Systems: Git is an essential tool for managing code changes and collaboration among developers. Platforms like GitHub and GitLab facilitate version control and provide features for issue tracking and code reviews.

Development Frameworks: Frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue.js streamline the development process by providing pre-built components and structures. For back-end development, frameworks like Express.js and Django can speed up the creation of server-side applications.

Content Management Systems (CMS): CMS platforms like WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal enable developers to create and manage websites easily. They offer flexibility and scalability, making it simple to update content without requiring extensive coding knowledge.

Design Tools: Tools like Figma, Sketch, and Adobe XD help designers create user interfaces and prototypes. These tools facilitate collaboration between designers and developers, ensuring that the final product aligns with the initial vision.

Analytics and Monitoring Tools: Google Analytics, Hotjar, and other analytics tools provide insights into user behavior, allowing developers to assess the effectiveness of their websites. Monitoring tools can alert developers to issues such as downtime or performance degradation.

Conclusion

Web development is a rapidly evolving field that requires a blend of creativity, technical skills, and a user-centric approach. By understanding the latest trends and technologies, adhering to best practices, and leveraging essential tools, developers can create engaging and effective web experiences. As we look to the future, those who embrace innovation and prioritize user experience will be best positioned for success in the competitive world of web development. Whether you are a seasoned developer or just starting, staying informed and adaptable is key to thriving in this dynamic landscape.

Component Libraries: Should You Build Your Own or Use a Prebuilt One?

Component libraries are a vital tool in web application development in maintaining uniform design, shortening the time taken to develop web applications and improving reusability of the code. Some developers find this dilemma; should they create a component library or use an existing one? In addition, they help reduce the struggle while building well-designed and interactive websites because of the availability of animation-oriented UIs such as Accentricity UI among others. Now, let’s get more to the point in order to help you find the right way.

What is a Component Library?

Component libraries are collections of reusable UI elements such as buttons, forms, modals, and more— and are intended to reuse the components across several projects. Such libraries not only guarantee a consistent look of an application but also save time and costs during its implementation because the elements have been already coded. So, there's no need to build components from scratch.

Prebuilt Component Libraries

Prebuilt Component Libraries

Prebuilt component libraries are the ready-made collections of different UI components that are specifically designed and optimized for common use cases that developers can face during development. Some well-known examples include:

Material-UI (MUI):

A library based on React and it follows Google's Material-UI design, MUI allows a comprehensive set of components customization.

Ant Design:

It's an UI design system framework for enterprise-level products, ant design offers built-in themes and a rich set of UI components.

Bootstrap:

It's an widely-used CSS framework that provides basic components and a responsive grid system.

Pros of Prebuilt Libraries :

Rapid Development: Prebuilt libraries save a lot of time of the developers by providing pre-designed reusable components that you can quickly integrate into your project.

Standardized Design: They help ensure a consistent user experience across different screens and features.

Community Support: Many prebuilt libraries come with robust community support, providing a wealth of tutorials, plugins, and enhancements.

Cons of Prebuilt Libraries

Limited Customization: Customizing components to fit your unique design can sometimes be difficult, leading to constraints on flexibility.

Performance Overhead: Many prebuilt libraries come with extra features you may not need, which can bloat your codebase.

Pros And Cons of Prebuilt Libraries

Animation-Centric Libraries: Bringing UIs to Life

In recent years, a new category of libraries has emerged, specifically focused on providing built-in animations and smooth UI transitions. These libraries not only offer pre-designed components but also emphasize adding dynamic, interactive features to web applications.

Here are some popular examples of animation-focused libraries:

Lottie

Category: Animation Integration Library

Lottie:The industry standard for motion design

What it Offers: Lottie allows you to render animations created in Figma or Adobe After Effects as JSON files using the built-in plugins. These animations are then rendered natively on the web, offering high-quality motion without a heavy performance impact.

Why It’s Useful: Lottie is perfect for apps or websites requiring rich, scalable animations that are lightweight. It’s commonly used for logos, loading animations, and subtle UI effects. Unlike other component libraries, it focuses purely on bringing visual design elements from tools like Figma & After Effects into the web environment.

Accentricity UI

Category: Hybrid Component and Animation Library

What it Offers:

 Accentricity UI combines traditional UI components with built-in support for smooth animations and transitions. It offers a wide range of components like buttons, forms, modals, and navigation menus, but with an added layer of predefined animations, making it easier to create interactive, dynamic interfaces.

In addition to these standard components, Accentricity UI provides responsive behaviors and subtle animation effects like hover states, fade-ins, and sliding transitions that enhance user engagement. The library's components are fully customizable, allowing developers to easily adjust animation timings, easing functions, and durations to match the look and feel of their brand, ensuring both visual appeal and performance across devices.

Why It’s Useful:

Think about it, what would be easy for a dev? Making a custom component with tons of animation which the dev has to write from scratch and polish it before the deadline or use a library, where the dev can make use of the library with the built-in support to combine the custom designed elements with smooth animations and transitions offered by the library.  

It’s particularly helpful for developers who want the convenience of a prebuilt library but need polished, built-in animations to enhance user experience without writing complex animation code from scratch.

Framer Motion

Category: Animation-focused Component Library (React)

Framer Motion

What it Offers:

Framer Motion is a powerful library for React that allows you to create fluid animations and micro interactions with minimal effort. It supports interactive features like drag, scroll, and spring-based animations, which makes it ideal for interactive & highly animated UIs. It also provides easy-to-use APIs for gesture-based animations and layout transitions, offering developers extensive control over complex animations while maintaining simplicity in implementation.

Why It’s Useful:

Framer Motion combines the simplicity of component libraries with the flexibility of advanced animation frameworks, making it easy to enhance user interfaces with dynamic visual effects. It’s a great choice for React developers who want to integrate animation without compromising performance or adding significant overhead. With its built-in optimizations for smooth rendering, Framer Motion ensures high-quality animations that enhance both usability and visual appeal.

Should You Use Prebuilt Animation Libraries?

The role of animations is really important in web applications to enhance the UX(user experience), by making interfaces feel more fluid and interactive makes user's remember the website due to its great experience. Since users are constantly getting used to smooth effects, micro-interaction and dynamic feedback, animations are no longer viewed as a good to have feature but are rather considered as a must have feature. Prebuilt animation libraries like Framer Motion and GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform) simplify this process by providing powerful, flexible tools that allow developers to integrate complex animations without having to manually manage every aspect of motion or dive deep into animation theory.

Advantages of Animation-Centric Libraries

Advantages of Animation-Centric Libraries

Ease of Use

Prebuilt animation libraries abstract away the complexities of coding animations from scratch. Without manually writing keyframes, easing functions, or browser-optimized transitions, developers can simply use predefined APIs to implement fluid animations. This drastically reduces development time, as many animation details are handled by the library, letting developers focus on building features and interactions rather than tweaking animations for performance or cross-browser compatibility. For example, with a few lines of code, animations can be applied to any UI element, making the development process much more efficient.

Advanced Features

Many animation libraries offer advanced features that go far beyond basic transitions like fade-ins and slide animations. These include timeline control, scroll-triggered animations, physics-based interactions, and even 3D transformations. For instance, timeline control allows developers to create synchronized sequences of animations, which can be used to create smooth, coordinated interactions across multiple elements. Scroll-based animations enhance user engagement by triggering effects as the user scrolls, perfect for parallax websites or content reveal effects. Physics-based animations, such as spring-based drag-and-drop or object bouncing, add natural, realistic movement to interactive elements, elevating the overall experience. Additionally, 3D transformations provide extensive control over how objects rotate, scale, or move in three-dimensional space, something that is cumbersome to achieve with native CSS alone.

Conclusion

Why is Contract Hiring Beneficial?

Contract work also commonly known as the gig economy is highly popular in the market. Businesses can easily fill the temporary skill gap in the company by indulging with contract workers on project to project basis.

However, the key aspect is that businesses should know when to opt. to hire remote app developers on a contract basis.

When to Hire Mobile App Developers on Contract and Not on Employment?

Project & Talent wise need only 

If your project needs short-term assistance from a developer it’s best to hire contractors. And, if the requirements increase, you can scale up the work with the hired professional.

Cost Considerations

Organizations easily save money and resources by opting for contract developers instead of permanent employees. If you’ve tight budgets and short-term requirements, this would be the best option.

Requirement of a Specialized Skill

Contract developers are often specialized in one specific skill like React Native or Swift. When the project is dependent on one skill that you do not have in-house, then you can hire a professional from a pool of Talents who best fits your requirements.

Identifying the Technology & Scope of Work for the Mobile App Project

Before you start hiring mobile app developers, it’s critical to understand the scope of the app and project requirements in detail.

Understand the Problem the App solves and for whom

Perform market research to identify the need for an app among your target audience. Plan how the app is going to benefit the users and what is a list of problems that need to be solved via developing the app. The classic example could be the problem of consumer interaction. With the app’s introduction, a brand can promote more engagement and interaction with the target audience.

Understand the project requirements and related core features 

Discuss with decision-makers what features the app must have for the users (the core feature and the differentiable features). Decide on the platforms the App will support (android, iOS, or both). You must also finalize project details beforehand like deliverables and deadlines.

Choose the right Technology Stack

Selecting the right technology stack sets the correct foundation for the app. Consider the purpose of the app while keeping the target audience in mind and select either a native or cross-platform stack.

1. Native Mobile App Development ensures optimal performance and ‘platform-specific’ capabilities.

iOS: Swift or Objective-C for programming, Xcode for development, UIKit for interface design.

Android: Kotlin or Java for programming, Android Studio for development, Android SDK for interface design.

2. Cross-Platform Mobile App Development ensures quick deployments, reusability of codes, and coverage of both platforms (Android & iOS).

React Native, Flutter, or Xamarin Frameworks offer the ability to write code once and deploy it across multiple platforms.

3. Other Tools, Libraries, and Databases to be identified might include Android Studio, Xcode, Firebase, Restful, SQLite, Room DB, SQL, MongoDB, Redux, etc.

Outline the Scope of Work & Document in detail 

A well-defined scope of work sets the wheels in motion for an app development project. The clear SOW acts as a roadmap for the developer and client and reduces any chances of misunderstanding in the process.

Also well document the Team requirements, their roles & responsibilities, features & functionalities, tasks & deliverables, milestones & deadlines, expectations for UI/UX designs, testing guidelines, deployment & maintenance guidelines, etc.

Sources of Contract Hiring 

Here are a bunch of options that one can select from to hire mobile app developers in 2024.

Leveraging Specialized Platforms,

There are freelance platforms available in the market like Upwork, and Fiverr, that have professional freelancers who can provide you with one-time developer services.

IT Agencies (B2B contract Hiring)

Consider hiring IT agencies like Sprybit that have a pool of talent who are not only pre-screened but also reliable for the project.

Networks

Ask in your Network, post on Facebook – LinkedIN – Reddit groups, reach out to Industry people, and ask for references.

Interviewing and Screening Candidates  

Following a pre-decided screening process is essential to finding the right talent for your organization.

Review Past Work/Portfolio 

Make sure to review the candidate’s portfolio related to the mobile development projects. Examine the projects that require similar skill sets as compared to your project and judge their proficiency. You can also inquire about those projects and codes to understand their level of knowledge.

Consider requesting some sample codes. The GutHub links can act as an excellent proof of skills. This step is necessary to make a calculated decision.

Screening of Technical Skill

Shortlisted candidates must be proficient in technical skills according to the project requirements. Hiring managers must conduct the right assessment that ensures the presence of skill expertise.

These assessments must be practical and should involve coding for varied purposes. With this, you can understand data structures and algorithm knowledge in the candidate.

Identify other important factors

Apart from technical skills, other non-technical factors are essential to be considered during the hiring process. Check the candidate’s communication skills to ensure they will be able to communicate their ideas and plans with other team members. Candidates must also possess problem-solving skills to navigate technical errors in codes if required.

There are multiple design principles for mobile apps to enhance user experience. Check if the app developer is aware of such technicalities to select the best possible resource for your project.

Ideal Terms & Clauses for Contract Hiring

Whether you are a newbie or an experienced professional; while contract hiring mobile app developers; the ideal terms to keep your data, time, money & idea safe remain an unmissable necessity.

Hiring from a Freelance Portal does check many boxes with their well-established policies and processes; which might be good but not always foolproof. Hiring freelancers directly or from IT Agencies engages us in co-building Terms & Conditions on mutual consensus or are pre-defined with our experience as a Vendor Compliance Policy. But, all-in-all, making sure that every safety measure for our Project is taken care of remains our sole responsibility.

Payment Terms

Unlike full-time employees, one can’t pay to contract professionals every month. Select among a wide range of options like hourly-rate, and project-basis. Transparency from the very beginning will help smooth project completion.

IP rights

Before starting the collaboration, clarity on IP i.e. intellectual property is essential. As in who is the owner of code, design, app interface, etc should be agreed on to avoid disputes in the future.

Confidential & Non-disclosure agreements 

Once you allot work to these contract workers, you will be sharing confidential details of the company. Make an advance agreement and ask them to sign it before commencing the work.

Project Timeline & Quality Assurance Standards

Maintain the quality of the project by deciding in prior about project deadlines, submissions, and code quality in terms of programming languages.

Termination clause

State a prescribed reason for when can either of the parties end the agreement. This brings clarity to the table regarding moral, ethical and professional expectations your Organization has.

Dispute Resolution

In rare cases, the client and candidate might go into a dispute that needs to be solved for the project’s betterment. Laying out steps to clear disputes and solve them will act as guidance in case it’s required.

Indemnity & Liability

It is important to outline the obligations & responsibilities of each party during any case of losses, damages and/or legal claims arising during the course of the project.

Governing Law & Governing Body

Involving government laws, rights, and bodies can help in resolving disputes and save the project’s future. This way both parties can come to the same conclusion under legal principles.

Setting up effective Remote Communication and Collaboration 

Remote work culture creates room for misunderstanding and unclear targets. However, the issue can be tackled if there’s a pre-decided communication system planned. From work allotment to final project submission, an effective communication plan benefits all the parties involved in the project.

These can be achieved by establishing communication, collaboration & project management tools for your Project:

Inbuilt communication channels of Freelance Platforms

Slack

Microsoft Teams

Zoom

Google Meet

Jira

Asana

Trello

Basecamp

Google Workspace

Dropbox

Microsoft 365

Notion

Conclusion 

Organizations’ idea to hire mobile app developers on Contract is spreading like a forest fire. Businesses now have access to partner freelancers and contract workers for short periods with ideal skills, and reliable talent.

Before starting your journey on the same path, make sure to remain transparent and pre-decide the essential factors like payment, timelines, IP & communication; and finally proceed to give life to your mobile app.

React Native: Why Should You Use It For Your Mobile App?

Introduction 

There is no doubt that mobile applications are a basic need in our day-to-day life. Tons of mobile apps are being downloaded every day. Every organization requires a mobile application for its business so every app must be well-optimizer and user-friendly as well.

Therefore various frameworks are being created and used to give out the best mobile app to the customer and from all of them react native is one of them.

What is React Native?

With various frameworks and technologies available, choosing the right one can be terrible. However, when it comes to creating high-quality mobile apps, React Native has always been a first thought for mobile app developers. 

In simple words, React Native is an open-source UI software Framework for creating mobile applications for Android and iOS platforms. Moreover, it allows developers to build high-quality mobile applications using a single codebase.

However, the question arises as to why React Native is the best framework for mobile applications. So, let’s begin with why mobile app developers rely more on the React Native framework. 

The Advantages of React Native

The apps that are created by React Native are always of high quality and flexible towards code sharing to make it a developer-friendly framework. 

Cross-Platform Compatibility One of the most significant advantages of React Native is that it’s flexible on various platforms. As it’s a cross-platform framework it provides the same level of performance as a native app for android and iOS as well. It just requires a base code and it can be operated on any OS platform, by which you don't have to hire developers for various platforms. That’s the reason why React Native is used as a hybrid application.

UI Focused React Native allows you to create a unique eye-catching UI (User-Interface) for the app. It involves components like clicks, hovers, keyboard inputs, and all to make your mobile user-friendly and easy to navigate. You can say this framework pays a lot of attention to designing UI apps. 

Hot Reloading This is one of the advantages that allows the developers to view two screens at a time allowing them to inspect the live changes without reloading the entire app. Hot reloading is also known as Live reloading which improves the development process with real-time feedback.

IT Staff Augmentation for App Development: Amplify Your Mobile & iOS Apps

In today’s competitive digital landscape, organizations need agility, expertise, and speed to succeed—especially when it comes to mobile app development. Traditional hiring processes can be slow, expensive, and inflexible. That’s where IT staff augmentation shines. Whether you're building a brand-new iOS app or scaling existing mobile solutions, a strategic IT staff augmentation approach can accelerate your roadmap and elevate your technology. In this blog, we’ll dive deep into:

What is IT staff augmentation?

Benefits for mobile and iOS app development

Key services SMTLabs offers

How to choose the right staffing augmentation partner

A roadmap for successful collaboration

1. What is IT Staff Augmentation?

1.1 Definition and Core Concept

Fundamentally, IT staff augmentation is a versatile approach to outsourcing. Businesses hire external IT experts—developers, designers, QA specialists, DevOps engineers—on a short-term or long-term basis. These professionals integrate seamlessly with your internal team, contributing directly to your project’s objectives.

This contrasts with traditional hiring: less recruiting effort, no long-term HR commitments, and faster onboarding. With staff augmentation, you get the exact expertise you need��and only for as long as you need it.

1.2 Why Staff Augmentation Matters for Software Projects

Agility: Scale up or down easily

Specialized Talent: Access to niche skillsets (e.g., Flutter, Swift, Kotlin)

Faster Time-to-Market: No lengthy hiring cycles

Cost Optimization: Pay-as-you-go model, reduced overhead

Risk Reduction: Reduce idle time and HR bottlenecks

For mobile and iOS app services , its staff augmentation company​, where frameworks evolve weekly and consumer expectations rise constantly, this model is ideal.

2. Benefits of IT Staff Augmentation for App Development

Services: Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), OneSignal, Twilio

These tools help maintain a strong connection with your users and improve retention.

7. Admin Panel & Dashboard

Behind every smooth app is a powerful admin panel where business owners can manage orders, customers, payments, and analytics.

Frontend Frameworks: Angular, Vue.js

Backend Integration: Node.js or Laravel with MySQL/PostgreSQL

This is one part you definitely want your food delivery app development company to customize according to your specific business operations.

Authentication: OAuth 2.0, JWT (JSON Web Tokens)

Data Encryption: SSL, HTTPS

Compliance: GDPR, PCI-DSS for payment compliance

A dependable on demand food delivery app development process always includes a strong focus on security and privacy from day one.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right tech stack isn’t just a technical decision—it’s a business one. Whether you’re building your app in-house or partnering with a trusted food delivery app development company, knowing the components involved helps you make smarter choices and ask the right questions.

When I look back at my own journey in food delivery app solution planning, the clarity came once I understood the tools behind the scenes. Now, as the industry continues to grow, investing in the right technology gives your business the best chance to stand out.

9 Real Challenges in Mobile App Development

In today’s fast-moving digital world, mobile apps are more than just utilities—they’re a core part of how businesses interact with their customers. Whether it's shopping, booking services, or managing accounts, users expect seamless app experiences that are fast, secure, and intuitive. But behind the scenes, developing a high-quality app is no small feat. Even the most experienced teams face hurdles that can delay launches, increase costs, or damage user trust.

If you’re working with a mobile app development company in New York or planning to hire an app developer in NYC, it's critical to understand these real-world challenges. In this blog, we explore 9 major obstacles in mobile app development—and how businesses can tackle them effectively.

1. Platform Compatibility and Fragmentation

Developers often face the choice between building for iOS, Android, or both. While cross-platform frameworks like Flutter and React Native help, platform fragmentation remains a challenge. Android, for example, runs on a wide range of devices and OS versions, each with its quirks.

An experienced app development company in New York will know how to ensure compatibility across platforms and devices—optimising code for performance, UI consistency, and hardware variation.

Tip: Consider your audience. If your users are primarily in the U.S., iOS-first might be a smart move. If you’re going global, Android deserves priority.

2. UI/UX Design Consistency

A beautiful and intuitive design is non-negotiable today. However, achieving UI/UX consistency across different devices, screen sizes, and operating systems is a real challenge. Poor design leads to user frustration, app abandonment, and bad reviews.

That's why partnering with a mobile app development company in New York that has a strong in-house design team is crucial. They’ll perform A/B testing, user interviews, and apply platform-specific design guidelines to build interfaces that resonate with your target audience.

3. Performance and Speed

Users have zero patience for laggy apps. According to research, nearly 80% of users will uninstall an app that’s too slow or buggy. Developers need to optimise code, reduce load times, and manage backend API calls efficiently.

A skilled mobile app developer in New York will know how to build lean, fast applications using tools like lazy loading, caching, and compression. Speed isn’t a luxury—it’s a baseline expectation.

4. Data Security and Privacy

From fintech to healthcare, mobile apps often handle sensitive user data. Ensuring robust security is a legal and ethical obligation, especially with regulations like GDPR and CCPA in play.

Key considerations include:

End-to-end encryption

Secure authentication (2FA, biometrics)

Secure data storage (e.g., Keychain, Android Keystore)

A trusted app developer in New York will help you implement these measures while maintaining performance and usability.

5. Integration with Third-Party Services

Most modern apps are not standalone—they integrate with payment gateways, CRMs, analytics tools, social platforms, and more. However, managing these integrations is tricky:

APIs change frequently

Downtime or errors in third-party services affect your app

There are risks of data breaches through external platforms

A reliable app development company in New York will follow best practices for API management, fallback logic, and secure integrations to ensure smooth functionality even if third-party services are down.

6. Testing Across Devices and Environments

Manual testing is no longer sufficient. You need automated tests that simulate real-world usage across different screen sizes, network conditions, and OS versions. Unfortunately, testing at this scale is complex and time-consuming.

Leading mobile app developers in New York use cloud-based testing platforms and CI/CD pipelines to:

Automate regression testing

Simulate low-bandwidth environments

Detect memory leaks and battery drain

If your testing strategy isn’t robust, you're launching blind—and that can backfire quickly.

7. App Store Approval Processes

Both Apple and Google have strict guidelines and review processes. Rejections are common due to:

Privacy violations

Incomplete information

Bugs or crashes

UI not meeting design standards

A well-established app development company in New York will help you navigate these hurdles, ensuring that your app meets all submission criteria and avoids costly delays.

Bonus Tip: Keep documentation, privacy policies, and feature explanations clear and concise—this helps during the review.

8. Scalability Challenge

Maybe your app is great for 1,000 users—but what happens when you reach 100,000? Scalability is a core architectural concern. Apps that aren’t built to scale will crash under heavy loads or cost a fortune in infrastructure.

Smart app developers in NYC anticipate this from day one. They’ll:

Use cloud-native backends (AWS, Firebase, Azure)

Set up autoscaling and load balancing

Optimize database queries and storage

Think long-term. Launching is just the beginning—scaling is the real game.

9. Ongoing Maintenance and Updates

Mobile apps require continuous support—bug fixes, OS compatibility updates, feature improvements, and user feedback integration. Many companies underestimate the cost and effort of post-launch maintenance.

When choosing an app development company in New York, make sure they offer long-term support and version management. You’ll need to push updates regularly to stay relevant and secure.

Apps that don’t evolve quickly become obsolete—and your users will move on.

Bonus Challenge: Hiring the Right Talent

One of the biggest hidden challenges is finding the right app developer in New York. The tech talent pool is vast, but not all developers are equal. Look for:

A proven track record

Strong UX/UI portfolio

Knowledge of the latest frameworks and technologies

A clear process for testing, feedback, and scaling

An ideal mobile app developer in New York will act as a strategic partner, not just a vendor. They’ll challenge your ideas, propose better solutions, and ensure your app succeeds long after launch.

Final Thoughts

Mobile app development is an exciting but complex journey. From idea to execution, every stage brings its own unique challenges. Whether it’s platform fragmentation, security, testing, or scalability, having the right team in your corner makes all the difference.

If you’re looking to build a mobile app that’s secure, scalable, and user-friendly, consider partnering with a seasoned mobile app development company in New York. With local insight, technical expertise, and a deep understanding of market trends, these professionals can help you bring your app vision to life—and keep it thriving long after launch.

In the highly competitive app landscape of NYC, working with the right app developer in NYC isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.

Need help starting your app project? Whether you're a startup, a mid-sized business, or a global enterprise, the right mobile app developer in New York can turn your app idea into a high-impact solution. Reach out today for a consultation or discovery call and take the first step toward building something great.
