Developing for Billions

Tal Oppenheimer

Context

  • 3.2 Billion internet users
  • We imagine it's mostly USA and a little of Europe
  • Wrong - China is bigger and India is close with massive growth
  • Main focus for Internet user growth is India
    • Some of these are first-time users
    • Some have never and will never use a desktop
    • Devices are significently weaker in RAM and memory
    • Stuck on 2G internet (62% of the world)
      • We should progressive enhance from a regular video tag

Do it better

  • Deep linking - Link directly to where they want to be, instead of having steps
  • Once they actually get to the experience, minimize data usage
  • Detect power-save mode
    • give them only critical images
    • remove auto play
    • change resolution
