Social App FAQs
Do you support live audio & video?
Yes—WebRTC calls and RTMP/LL-HLS for live streams with chat.
How do you handle moderation?
Classifier-first with queues, human review, appeals, and policy reasons.
Can we monetize creators?
Tips, subs, rev-share, and payouts via Stripe Connect with KYC/AML flows.
Do you support federation?
Yes—ActivityPub-compatible user and content federation when required.
How do you run A/B tests without hurting growth metrics?
We use server- and client-side feature flags with guardrails, SRM checks, and sequential rollouts. Experiments auto-halt on error spikes or SLA breaches, and we read primary metrics like activation (D1), D7 retention, and feed CTR.
Which growth KPIs do you prioritize?
Activation (D1), D7/D30 retention, session frequency, feed CTR, share rate, invite conversion, and notification opt-in/engagement. We tie experiments to KPI owners and pre-defined MDEs.
How do you improve notification opt-in rates?
We deploy soft-ask education, just-in-time prompts tied to clear value, channel preference centers, rate limits and quiet hours. This typically lifts opt-in and reduces unsubscribes.
Do you meet WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility?
Yes. We ship contrast-safe palettes, clear focus states, motion-reduced variants, semantic landmarks, and lab-test flows with VoiceOver and TalkBack. Captions, alt-text prompts, and keyboard/switch support are standard.
Do you support RTL languages and localization nuances?
Yes—full bi-directional layouts, pluralization rules, locale-aware truncation, date/number formats, and localized assets. We also run layout QA for RTL and mixed-script content.
How do you ensure good performance on low-end devices or poor networks?
Progressive image/video transcodes, offline-first states with queued actions, skeleton UIs, and adaptive bundles. We monitor cold start, ANR, jank, and memory to maintain smooth sessions.
What is your release strategy on iOS and Android?
CI/CD with automated tests and signing, then staged rollouts (1–5–25–100%) and instant rollback via kill switches. Canary cohorts validate crash-free sessions and performance before 100% release.
What crash-free and ANR targets do you work to?
We target ≥99.5% crash-free sessions and ≤0.3% ANR. Dashboards alert on regressions and block promotion if SLOs are breached.
How do you handle privacy and platform compliance?
We implement ATT consent flows, Play Data Safety, Apple Privacy Manifests, and least-privilege data access with audit trails. Webhooks and SDKs are scoped, logged, and reviewed.
Do you manage beta programs like TestFlight and Play testing?
Yes. We use internal and public rings, device-lab coverage across OS versions, and structured feedback loops to de-risk launches.
Can you reduce app size and improve store rankings?
We apply asset slimming and dynamic delivery to cut size by 10–25% and run ASO—localized screenshots, preview videos, keywords, and review replies—to raise conversion and ratings.
Do you provide kill switches and remote configuration?
Yes—remote config and per-feature kill switches ship by default so we can disable problematic code paths without forcing a store update.
