Say hello to a seamless journey for building chat apps
We are incredibly excited to announce the launch of the completely revamped XMTP developer documentation!
The 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.
Tabs for Multi-SDK Consistent Storytelling 🧩
XMTP's commitment to interoperability and accessibility is reflected in their multi-SDK approach. Now the documentation simplified, making it language agnostic, while highlighting consistency in the SDKs through tabbed code sections.
Core Concepts for Building with XMTP 🏗
We’ve abstracted the core concepts to help you build with XMTP more swiftly. Think of it as a TV show guiding you on how to integrate secure and private chat into your application. These are the chapters you wouldn’t want to miss:
Left Nav Centralization 📘
All documentation in a single Left Nav. It's like the chapters of a book, ensuring the lowest friction experience for learning software. This single tab approach ensures that you have a consistent navigation experience without the clutter.
On top of this all external sources where updated. Sources like Readme’s and independent pages that point only to the Docs, preventing outdated content from appearing again. This ensures everyone interacting with XMTP gets the latest and best experience, always.
