I am thinking of creating multiple mobile apps using HTML5 using rapid prototyping. In order to bring them to market fast I am trying to use as much outside services as possible but keep the costs as low as possible. My current list is as follows -<p>Backend - Parse<p>Visual Design - Outsource using 99 designs<p>Analyitcs - Flurry<p>Testing - Device anywhere<p>HTML5 application development using - Phonegap/Titanium/Sencha<p>What else would you add to the list? Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks for all the suggestions. I am adding few more things that I forgot earlier -<p>Stress Testing - ???<p>App Distribution - Zubhium<p>App Marketing - AdMob, AppSurfer, AppBrain<p>Also, is there some service that can provide initial validation of an idea. I need some service through which I can contact 20 users and ask them if they will use a particular app and if so how much will they pay for it and what features they would like?
PhoneGap and Titanium are mutually exclusive.<p>Sencha would work with PhoneGap, in that you need HTML/CSS/JS to put into PhoneGap.<p>Be careful with 99 Designs. You're more likely to get a design that will be almost impossible to implement on top of Sencha, unless you give a lot of feedback to the designers. Given the cost of getting a mobile app design there, you'll need to stay on top of the process to avoid wasting money.
