Some aspects of mobile (e.g. deploying binary, dealing with app stores) make it a more gated and complicated process. That, coupled with our team's domain experience in mobile, led us to focus there to start with. But you're totally right - there's a lot of overlap with any kind of deployment and we have an eye towards a future where Runway is the single place where teams ship everything they need to ship. Plus, there's extra value to unlock in coordinating releases across platforms - e.g. coordinating backend changes with app releases, or sync'ing product launches across web and mobile.
- goodcjw2 5y ago+1000 to focus on mobile first. Totally understandable :) That being said, I think "more gated and complicated process" are the key here. Guess it's easy for web/backend developers to hold to the key and deploy as they see needed. But for mobile, there are typically only a small set of gatekeeper at the entire company had the key to publish a new release to AppStore/PlayStore. Thus the more process is required.
