Should you build a mobile app or a web application? Eric Skiff and David Renz highlight the pros and cons of both options, discussing home screen presence, push notifications, hardware interaction, and the impact of new EU antitrust regulations. We also explore the challenges associated with the release cycles of mobile apps compared to the continuous development and release process of web applications. Learn when building an app makes sense and how to weigh the extra time, costs, and risks involved.

About us
Tanooki Labs is a product and development shop based in New York City. We love the internet. ♥ Like, more than normal people. We’re passionate about making great products. We work with people to bring their ideas from their brains to the whiteboard, and then from wireframes to the web. We’ve honed our process and know how to work fast and efficiently. We’re allergic to re-inventing the wheel, and whenever possible we will find the right pieces to plug together to make your project a reality without milking you for work you don’t need. We also know it’s not all about code. We know what it takes to build an early following, get traction, and how to build projects that scale quickly when needed. We also know how to communicate, and can work with you to create site copy, landing pages, marketing strategies, and homepage videos.

I love my 6 Sonos speakers… Unfortunately, Sonos’ recent botched app relaunch is a crisis. Eric and I talk through pitfalls to look out for when relaunching an app: Beware of external deadlines Make the fewest changes possible Prioritize the features your users care about Impact of delays early in strategy/design If you don’t have a Sonos or haven’t heard, here’s some background: https://lnkd.in/eiRA6XKA

For first-time founders, the next time you're brainstorming that next big feature or pivoting your product, ask yourself: What job is my customer hiring this product to do? The answer could be the key to your startup's success. 💡 One of the most powerful frameworks that can guide early startups is Clayton Christensen's "Jobs To Be Done" framework, highlighted in his book Competing Against Luck. This approach is a game-changer, especially for first-time founders, as it shifts the focus from what features we think are valuable to what our customers are actually hiring our product to do. Take the example of TurboTax. Initially, they were adding endless features, trying to cover every possible scenario, but when they dug into the core job that customers were "hiring" TurboTax for, they found it wasn't about the bells and whistles. People wanted one thing: a simple, accurate way to file their taxes. By refocusing on this primary job and streamlining the product accordingly, TurboTax not only improved user satisfaction but also saw a significant increase in revenue. #Startups #ProductManagement #JobsToBeDone #Innovation #Entrepreneurship
