Prismatic for iPhone is now a featured app in the App Store.


Android app is on our roadmap. This app was the first step toward amazing Prismatic clients for different screen sizes and platforms. We have a couple of big changes to the core product before we become ubiquity focused.


I'm so sorry we teased you guys for so long but you have to admit some of our buzz videos were enjoyable. :-)https://vimeo.com/47600364 We hope the wait was worth it.


Thank you! After months of slowly building and perfecting the iPhone app it feels great to finally be able to share it with everyone.


Congratulations! What was the hardest and/or most rewarding part?

I am assuming you abandoned most of stock UIKit and built custom implementations.


Thanks!

Hardest and most rewarding was all the serious engineering we did to make the app and gestures fun and fast. Most of the components in the app are custom, from the navigation controller to the story menu down to the scroll physics. Aria just answered this Quora question that goes into some of the details.

If you have any particular things you'd like us to elaborate on, we'd be happy to answer your questions.


Thank you! We hope you love the app.


Thank you! This was the first step towards amazing Prismatic clients for different screen sizes and platforms.
