Excited to see this. In order for this to be successful we'll want to developer a health dashboard for the app and set alarming for it whenever we dip above/below certain thresholds. One of the challenges that you face when releasing often is that the amount of attention you keep during small iterative releases. It's easy to keep very focused for 2-3 releases but after that attention can drift to just the major releases. And while it's great to read reviews and find out a subjective metric of how we're doing we need to get in front of it with objective metrics.
Thus having an app health dashboard showcasing: search, readership, editing, etc can easily show you if you've had any regressions. These would not only be useful for small bug fix releases but would also help validate our major product releases. I'll leave it with you guys to define what metrics are necessary to define a healthy app. --tomasz On Mon, Mar 9, 2015 at 1:31 PM, Dan Garry <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > There is a long time between production release on Android.
