Ask HN: iOS Devs do you want a dashboard to change in-app text instantly?
Thoughts on what we're thinking of building?
We noticed while we were iterating on our app we wanted to change in-app text a lot on iOS. We used a database config file to do this, but we figured we could build a service that lets you change whatever strings you have from a dashboard; no need to submit an update.
Basically you can change in-app text, * Instantly, so don’t need to wait on app store approval * Simply, so anyone, not just a dev can change the text * Where you can use your preexisting data models to create dynamic text, eg: `How are you <user.name>?` straight from our dashboard while always leaving the sensitive (user data, etc…) on the device.
Would you guys use this? Do you already have something that does this?
We want to know if we’re not just imagining this is a problem other devs have.
Note: We know that A/B testing services do something similar but it turns out they don’t provide features that we would need eg: variable insertion, dynamic formatting, etc.. We use an in-house solution for this, it's interesting you're building a service around this.
