Episode 02: Mini-programs - WeChat's killer feature
John and Matthew talk about WeChat's mini-programs. Introduced earlier this year, the full potential of mini-programs were not apparent at launch, leading some to speculate that they would never be useful. Matt is pretty bullish while John has a wait-and-see attitude. Questions they answer: What are mini-programs? Are these mini-apps or mini-programs? How are they different from apps? How are they different from WeChat official accounts? What are the advantages to users of using mini-programs? What are the advantages to businesses of using mini-programs? What are the drawbacks of using mini-programs? How do users find mini-programs?
