BOSTON, July 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ - Median.co, the pioneer in webview-based native apps,
celebrates a decade of groundbreaking achievements. Founded in 2014
by John Snyder and Weiyin He, the company has continuously pushed
the boundaries of innovation with an integrated mobile app
development platform that is trusted by Fortune 500s, web
developers, and startups worldwide.
Over the past 10 years, Median.co has solidified its position as
an innovative leader, providing exceptional value and driving
impactful results for enterprise customers like McKesson, Aon,
Whole Foods, Unilever, Honeywell, Allstate, and many more.
These companies maintain mobile apps built using the Median App
Studio platform, avoiding the high cost and complexity of iOS and
Android development or in-house mobile development teams.
Through Median's App Studio with over 50 native plugin
integrations — and a comprehensive offering of professional
services like publishing and ongoing app maintenance — Median.co
has redefined mobile app development for enterprise organizations.
Its mission is to make apps far easier and more accessible than
traditional app development, while delivering high-quality apps
that offer the richest experience for end users.
Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer John Snyder expresses enthusiasm for
the anniversary, stating, "The strong positive reception to our
launch 10 years ago made it clear that we were onto something big
with Median. And the same opportunity to tackle a large unmet need
in mobile app development remains just as large today — getting a
native app in the app stores is still slow, expensive, and
complicated for many companies, and they find a better and easier
way with Median."
Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer Weiyin He adds, "It is so rewarding
seeing the value we provide our customers. I regularly see the
lightbulb moment when technical leaders who are not aware of
webview-based app development discover this approach, and how it
can get them onto mobile devices. On the Median side, delivering
highly performant native apps across the iOS and Android
ecosystems is incredibly complex. We are fortunate to have a team
of exceptionally talented engineers who enjoy solving those complex
problems, so that our customers are free to focus on building their
own products."
Median.co: A timeline of pivotal events
2008: Apple's App Store
launches, followed by Google's Android Market, marking a
paradigm shift in mobile technology, and paving the way for a now
multi-billion-dollar ecosystem of mobile apps.
2014: Median.co is founded (as GoNative.io) by
mobile software veterans John
Snyder and Weiyin
He. It offers the first platform that enables anyone to
convert websites into iOS and Android apps simply by entering a
URL. Apps built with GoNative display web content integrated with
native features like navigation menus and push notifications.
2015: GoNative begins offering a comprehensive
suite of native integrations enabling customers to build
advanced full-feature native apps powered by web content. Early
integrations include functionality such as QR/Barcode scanning,
biometric login, and iBeacon bluetooth connectivity.
2016: GoNative adds browser-based
simulators enabling developers to instantly preview their
iOS and Android apps directly from a standard web browser without
the need to download and install the app onto a physical device —
thus significantly speeding up the development process.
2017: GoNative partners with OneSignal to provide
customers with access to advanced push notification functionality
including API-powered messaging. Prior to this, GoNative offered an
in-house push notification platform. The Median.co + OneSignal
partnership is still active today.
2021: GoNative launches a modernized App Studio
platform that provides dashboard access to develop,
preview, and test mobile apps. The App Studio is also
mobile-friendly, making it possible to build apps directly on a
mobile device.
2023: GoNative rebrands as Median.co. With its
success in becoming the most used, trusted, and enterprise-grade
web + native app development platform comes an outgrowing of the
GoNative name. Median.co launches as a new brand identity that
better captures the breadth and quality of its products and
services that customers have come to expect.
2024: Median.co launches a NPM package providing
enhanced functionality for web developers using frameworks such as
React and Vue.js. It also announces an official
partnership with Shopify, new integrations with
Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Dynamics, and a
professional services offering for enterprise.
Median CEO Kingsley
Gifford remarks, "As we enter our second decade, Median
is in a fortunate position, with an industry-leading technology
platform backed by an experienced team. Mobile apps bring
incredible value to organizations but app development can be a real
pain, and there is increasing pressure to do more with less. The
Median team is committed to helping our customers solve the
challenges they face today as well as the problems they'll face
tomorrow (but might not have yet started thinking about). As we
'make apps easier' for our customers, we free up their time and
attention to focus on their own products and customers, which
furthers their success as much as our own."
As Median.co celebrates this significant milestone, the company
looks forward to continuing its mission of simplifying mobile app
development for web developers and businesses of all sizes. With a
decade of innovation and customer success behind it, Median's
solutions and services will continue to be sought out by
organizations who want to focus on their core products — while
benefiting from high-quality, native mobile apps.
The journey of the past 10 years is just the beginning, and
through continued investment and innovation, Median.co is poised to
continue to lead the next era of mobile app solutions.
