Working in a small Company always let me astonished learning things about unicorn apps. But really an application like Whatsapp need 1000+ developers!? I can think about teams about android, ios and web app. X2 if you think about teams for business oriented services. But 1000+ developers for what?

- ramraj07 6y agoEven whatsapp the app is deceptively simple. It works seamlessly in all the dialects around the world, on a swathe of devices quite possibly matched by no other app; and it manages to handle every actually useful feature anyone wants in a messaging app with amazing aplomb. In India for the majority of the people whatsapp is not just their communication platform, it's also their photo album, dropbox, task manager, social networking platform and contacts manager. All within the simplest UIs I've ever seen.
