Project Leads UX: Brian Dils Product Management: Jennifer Argüello Engineering: Myk Melez

Project Overview Building apps for the Web provides developers with full control over content, functionality and how apps are distributed, including access to hundreds of millions of Firefox users through the Mozilla Marketplace. Using open Web standards and Mozilla-designed APIs, great app experiences can be delivered across multiple platforms, devices and operating systems — closing the gap between Web and native apps for the first time.

Goal of this Document This document aims to describe UX recommendations for the Mozilla Apps platform. This includes the experience of discovering, installing, using, and managing apps. The document is written for Developers, QA Engineers, Product Managers, and other contributors and is not intended for the general public.
