If your onboarding requires an app release to improve, your growth velocity is already constrained. Discover how activation-focused design and server-driven updates transform mobile app onboarding into a measurable growth lever.

If you study enough companies that attempt dynamic UI or server driven UI, you will notice something that does not show up in the documentation, marketing material, or engineering blogs. The migration does not happen in a single moment. It does not appear as a neat initiative on a quarterly roadmap. It emerges gradually, often unintentionally, through a series of architectural pressures and product demands that shape how the system grows. Most teams do not decide to build a Z

For more than a decade, the mobile industry has poured billions of dollars and countless engineering hours into one obsession: building faster.  Every year introduced a new framework that promised shorter development cycles, a CI/CD platform that shaved minutes off pipelines, or a cloud service that eliminated entire categories of backend work. Then AI arrived and detonated creation time altogether, screens, flows, logic, and tests now materialize from a prompt. And yet, some

Everyone has dragged something on a screen. You’ve moved a task to the top of a list, re-organised a playlist, shifted an image on a canvas, or dropped a file into a folder. Drag-and-drop feels so simple and natural that most users never think twice about it. But for engineers, it’s one of the most intricate interaction patterns you can build, especially when performance, consistency, and cross-device behavior all matter at once. Behind that small gesture is a stack of UX dec

If you’ve landed here, chances are you either already know what Server Driven UI (SDUI) is, or, more likely, someone just dropped the acronym in a meeting and asked you to "read up on it." Let’s be honest: SDUI is that one architectural pattern that almost no mobile app developer wants to implement initially. It sounds complex, it feels like over-engineering, and it shifts control away from the client-side code we love to polish. But here’s the kicker: it’s also the thing t

You know that moment when your PM says, “Can we just update this button text?”   and suddenly, you’re looking at a full app rebuild, a new release, and a prayer circle for App Store approval? Yeah. That’s why we need to talk about Client-Driven UI (CDUI)  vs Server-Driven UI (SDUI). Why This Debate Matters Modern software development platforms are evolving beyond static interfaces and that’s where the debate between Client-Driven UI (CDUI) and Server-Driven UI (SDUI) begins.

Explore how Server-Driven UI enhances app performance by enabling instant updates, reduced app sizes, and dynamic user interfaces.

Explore the implications of server-driven UI on API latency, user experience, and offline functionality compared to native and hybrid approaches.

Explore the differences between traditional drag-and-drop UI patterns and server-driven approaches, focusing on usability, performance, and scalability.

What is Server-Driven UI (SDUI)? If you ask GPT this it what it spits out Server-Driven UI is a revolutionary paradigm shift in mobile app development. Unlike traditional approaches where the client-side dictates the app’s appearance and behavior, SDUI empowers the server to control these aspects. In simpler terms, the server becomes the mastermind behind the app’s user interface. we will use Bytes, a short 3 page app, of landing screen, category screen and article screen to
