WeChat Mini-Apps: Behind the Hype
收起
On January 9th, WeChat officially launched mini-apps after much fanfare and speculation. Touted by many as the “App Store” killer in China, Mini Programs, as they are now officially called, were believed to be the next step in WeChat’s continued dominance.
However, one month on and it seems that Mini Programs have already lost most of their traction. Are Mini Programs a victim of too much marketing? Or are they just a function waiting for its use case?
To discuss this, TechNode will be hosting a panel discussion with:
Thomas Graziani, CEO of WalktheChat
Drew Kirchhoff, co-founder of yoli
When: February 13, 2017 at 630pm
Where: DayDayUp Sanlitun, Sanlitun SOHO Office C Level 22
朝阳区三里屯SOHO#办公C座22层
