Layer Brings A Scalable Communications Platform To Any Mobile Or Web App | TechCrunch ift.tt/1dNlWao ift.tt/eA8V8J Layer Brings A Scalable Communications Platform To Any Mobile Or Web App | TechCrunch It looks as if Layer will have the ability to pass messages more freely across services like social networks. Super interesting IMO. tags: #Media2025 The technology, initially available to developers in the form of mobile app SDKs and open sourced components, will enable text, voice, video, file-sharing and more across applications, whether those apps run on iOS, Android, or even the web. You can think of it as something like a Stripe for communications. he company was founded in March by CEO Tomaž Štolfa, founder of vox.io, and Executive Chairman Ron Palmeri, who previously launched a number of notable companies as managing director of Minor Ventures Layer’s alternative, then, involves adding fewer than 10 lines of code to integrate messaging into app. It’s also fewer than 10 lines of code to add other things, like voice or video. The idea is to simplify the process of adding these communications capabilities to apps, while also eliminating concerns surrounding infrastructure, or how to manage scaling. They’re also offering a set of open source components called the Layer UI kit. These components (for iOS 7 and Android) work with the SDK, allowing developers to quickly build out specific user interface features, like an address book or a message sorter, for example. the recipient would also see a preview of that content in the app (not entirely unlike how Twitter Cards work today, e.g.). The company is putting together a small but representative sample of 50 beta testers, who will integrate Layer into their apps. register their interest here Posted from Diigo.
