"Aren’t you worried about losing Android users?"

We asked about 500 people what phone they had, turns out 95% of our friends use iPhone.

When we’re ready for growthmaxxing we’ll hire a Staff Android Engineer and build Uno natively using Jetpack Compose.

Google will also likely fine-tune Gemini to write Kotlin.

this is fwiw the reality on the ground. if you want early adopters, that are somewhat influential (and maybe can spend a bit), you are hitting the iphone market. 

it is a tale as old as time, i feel bad for android, but i also believe that the only thing that solves this is PWAs, that somehow become native in look & feel

The other piece of advice I’d give folks is to not launch too quickly. Once you hit the app stores, you are global, which means global problems. Pretty easy way to rate limit that it by only building on iOS.

Oh yes I didn’t think about the right to left stuff, good catch

Biggest global problem is only offering an English version of our apps. So users will want localized version (for example middle eastern countries want right to left menus)

Btw even on iOS you can region lock in the App Store. I suspect it’s similar in the play store. 

I’d be interested to think what global problems are. I can from a wallet standpoint think of it, eg rainbow wants you to onboard using moonpay but it’s not available in all regions. 

But maybe less so from a fc client standpoint :)
