Test Pilot

  • Q3 OKRs are set and have been migrated into Airtable.

  • Tied up a chunk of the team for the better part of a day.

Notes

  • Planning for potential transfer of Notes out of Test Pilot to Alex Davis’ team.

  • Shipped version 1.1 of the Notes Androidapp.

  • This uses one of our Rust components in the background to perform authentication actions for Firefox Accounts.

  • The Rust components can be cross-compiled for different environments such as Android, iOS and desktop operating systems. This way we don’t have to rewrite and maintain several copies of the same authentication logic in different languages.

  • Updated daily usage statistics since the mobile launch:
