Legacy mobile UI is costing you more engineering time than you think.
When managing older Android and iOS codebases, teams frequently lose hours debugging fragmented view lifecycles, brittle XML layouts, and desynchronized UI state.
In a recent modernization effort, moving core legacy screens over to a modern declarative architecture (Jetpack Compose) delivered immediate, measurable wins:
* ~60% reduction in boilerplate code: Cleaner logic, fewer lines to review, and dramatically simpler navigation handling.
* Faster turnaround on UI feature requests: Unified state handling made implementing design updates significantly quicker.
* Zero downtime & high stability: Migrated screen by screen using production telemetry and staged rollouts, maintaining a 99.8%+ crash-free session rate throughout.
Building for production isn’t just about writing code—it’s about writing software that scales, stays maintainable, and prevents costly rewrites down the road.

A Webflow to Framer migration and website overhaul for pliability, the #1 mobility app in the world. Custom code components, scroll animations, CMS-driven landing pages for campaign launches, and over 400 CMS items migrated from Webflow.
pliability provided the new website design, and @Mason Price and I brought it to life in Framer. Huge shoutout to Mason for collaborating; he has the highest level of mastery when it comes to Framer development.
This is beautiful!
Okay but why did nobody tell me designing for the iPhone Duo would be this fun? 👀
Been deep in a lil experiment testing landscape/fold view on the iPhone Duo to see how two screens can work together instead of one flow doing all the heavy lifting. Used a pet care app concept for it.
The verdict? Side-by-side layouts hit different when you get the balance right. More breathing room, more context, less "wait where did that go."
Still exploring, still tweaking but this might be my new favorite way to design.
Dual-screen or single-screen which team are you on? 👇

Love how much breathing room the split view gives. How do you handle the software keyboard when the user taps into that chat input does it take over the entire right panel or shift into a thumb split layout?
This interaction and the fact that you can use it without launching the app 🤌
