One of the main features attributed to both Facebook’s and WeChat’s (Called ‘mini-programs’) success was their app ecosystem. They built a platform that let third-party developers build their own apps that run within the platforms.
I was wondering if this is something the Emma team would consider. Perhaps release an API developers could use to create small mini apps or plugins that users of Emma can install to extend functionality.
This would in effect allow you to outsource development and creativity (to some degree) while still letting you control the ecosystem by regulating the apps that are allowed. Rather than users requesting new features and the in-house team needing to add them to the roadmap and budgeting time. Third-party developers could just go ahead and build the features that can then be installed within the Emma app.
This would obviously require a lot of planning and development time, but in the end, it might pay off.
Was just wondering what people think of this concept?
