We have exciting news to share: The release of the . Our brand new SDK makes it even easier to add a social activity feed and other powerful social features to your mobile app. By using our SDK you have the whole Tapglue platform at your fingertips. It takes away the majority of implementation work, so you can concentrate on an outstanding user experience and on growing your community.
Our mission is to make the power of social networks accessible to a wider range of mobile developers. A big part of this is developing a powerful, flexible and scalable API that offers all necessary backend functionality you need to build a social experience around your product. We think a state-of-the-art developer tool should not stop at the backend though. Having worked in mobile for years, we know that a simple and fast integration is key when using 3rd party tools. That's why a modern, lightweight and powerful SDK is core Tapglue's in product strategy - with many awesome things to come in the future.
By creating the Tapglue SDK we enter the client side which we think is necessary to provide a comprehensive tool for mobile developers. We're solving challenges like API communication, offline behavior and parsing in the most efficient way - so you can focus on implementing smooth user flows, lovely UIs and stunning animations.
There are certain things that were important to us when developing our SDK, so here are some highlights:
Super fast integration: You can add Tapglue to your app with just a few lines of code. We've internally implemented our API in test apps in less than one hours.
Open Source: We are big believers in transparency, openness and in participating in the open source developer community. That's why our SDK is 100% open source and available on Github.
Performance: The same love for state-of-the-art technology we put into our API, we also put into our SDKs. That's why we use the latest patterns and practices to deliver an outstanding performance.
Offline Behavior: We know the kinks that developing in the mobile environment can have. That's why we put emphasis on the details. Tapglue will work seamlessly even if your user is on a bad or no connection.
Lightweight: Our SDK doesn't make your project any heavier. It's less than 200KB in size. It won't stress your users' bandwidth when downloading your app.
Flexible: We're not forcing you to use our SDK. You can still hook up with our directly if you wish.
