Our mission was clear — to create a seamless and inspiring developer experience by eliminating unnecessary friction and telling a captivating story.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s new on this update of the documentation of XMTP and how it will revolutionize your journey in building chat apps.
Multi-SDK Tabs 🧩
One of our key focuses is interoperability and accessibility. That’s why we’ve taken a multi-SDK approach to our documentation, ensuring that it’s language agnostic. We’ve organized the information into tabbed code sections, ensuring consistency across all SDKs. Whether you’re using Web, Android, or Web, you’ll find a unified and streamlined learning experience.
