When we started building BetterYou, we weren't sure if what we wanted to do was even possible. Screentime for iPhone had just come out a month before and the landscape for measuring how we spend time on devices was new and largely undocumented. We built on Android first since it was more open source, and less of a black box. When you are experimenting you don't want to just see that there's smoke coming from your car, you want to be able to pop the hood and see what's going on. Google has kept the OS open-source and very transparent since day one, which is important for any of us trying to build a better mobile future. That's why I’m saddened to hear that the U.S. Department of Justice wants to break apart Google and Android. If Android moves more toward a closed system or has to increase prices, it gets even harder for small app developers to push technology forward. #Google #Android #Developers #Apps https://lnkd.in/gwbpz-ZZ

Big implications for mobile here. A forced sale could generate more innovation in the space.
