With the birth of rich streaming media technology carriers such as WeChat mini programs and short videos, mobile application carriers such as APP seem to be described as a type of mobile application that is an "island of information" and "unfavorable for dissemination."
In my opinion, as a typical representative product of the Internet era, it has shown rapid growth and development since 2009, affecting the daily necessities of life of many consumers and affecting the survival of businesses and enterprises. Nowadays, hundreds of APP applications will appear in various fields of all walks of life. These applications, even if they are very niche, will have more or less loyal fans active on them. It is inappropriate to call them "information islands" completely.
First of all, APP has its own value in certain industries, such as social streaming media platforms. These platforms inherently need to expand and grow their business in their own applications, rather than relying on traffic platforms for "light applications" construction. Secondly, in order to maintain their brands and establish channels for full communication with users, leading companies in some industries need APP applications as the basic carrier to build their own ecology.
Then, as a group of coders, it is crucial to quickly create your own (company) APP applications, keep up with the ever-changing market demand, and quickly explore market entry points. It’s the so-called “race against time”.
How to quickly create your own APP application?
With the exponential growth of WeChat mini programs, many companies or individual developers will first "try new things" and test the business market in the form of WeChat light applications. So after testing the water and achieving certain results, is there a way for us to "copy" existing application scenarios into our own APPs? The mini program container technology that is compatible with WeChat mini programs and runs directly on the APP can solve this problem very well.
Mini program runtime technology, and this technology is basically monopolized by Internet giants such as BAT, and it is difficult for companies to develop it themselves. However, there are also related technology manufacturers in the market that provide such technical tools, providing services that integrate the runtime of mini programs into the APP and manage the backend of mini program uploading and delisting.
A typical service provider currently on the market isFinClip. By integrating FinClip SDK, any enterprise can easily and simply obtain technology. The technical capabilities only possessed by major manufacturers – the solution is FinClip, an open ecological platform for small programs that is 100% deployable privately, cloud-native, and integrated with DevOps capabilities. It allows any enterprise to instantly create a “Lego-like” super App. With the ability to transform into a mini program platform operator, enterprise IT can develop mini programs on its own, open the platform to third-party partners to provide mini programs, and through listing and delisting management, allow a rich mini program ecology to be put on its own App, for any business The needs of departments can be responded to in parallel and quickly, and the trial and error costs of any innovative functions can be controlled to the greatest extent.
Use mini program container technology to create your own super APP
Why have mini programs become an option for quickly building apps? Let’s take a look at the essential principles first.
Mini program is a new mobile application format, a hybrid solution that relies on web technology but also integrates native application functions. Some features of mini programs help bridge the gap between the Web and native platforms, so mini programs are popular with some super apps.
- It does not require installation and supports hot updates.
- Features multiple web views to improve performance.
- It provides some mechanisms to access operating system functions (native interfaces) or data through native paths.
- Its content is generally more trustworthy since the application needs to be verified by the platform.
Mini programs can be distributed to multiple mini program platforms (Web, native applications, and even OS). These platforms also provide entrances to mini programs to help users easily find the applications they need.
Break the App into parts that can be combined or divided, and the business functions can be split into several small programs. Then the small programs can be arranged and combined according to the different scenarios and demands of the users, so that when each user opens the App, the The contents are all different, achieving a true sense of thousands of people. At the same time, the advantage of this can also solve the problem that traditional APP cannot index functions. If all business functions are replaced by small programs, then this problem will be easily solved. Secondly, business functions are replaced in the form of small programs, which can break the problem of traditional APP information islands and make APP truly capable of communication and connection. Not only can fission sharing be carried out through social platforms with one click, but it can also effectively reduce customer acquisition costs and improve user experience.
For R&D, the APP function can support hot updates after being transformed into a mini-program. R&D does not need to release a new version, and users do not need to update the APP to obtain the latest services and achieve agile iteration.
For enterprises, the use of mini-program technology can create a sustainable development ecosystem. For example, the introduction of high-frequency lifestyle business mini-programs can allow users to meet most of their "food, clothing, and travel" needs in one APP.
In order to allow more apps to easily have "mini program running capabilities", Fantai Geek has implemented the "mini program runtime" A privately deployable iOS and Android version of the SDK that can be integrated by third parties. In other words, any APP can instantly gain the ability to run mini programs by embedding the FinClip mini program SDK.
With only 5 lines of code, your APP can quickly start and run the mini program, and the mini program running time SDK is 1.3 MB on the Android side and 1.8 MB on the iOS side. It is lightweight and imperceptible, and the SDK adopts a multi-threaded operation mode, which does not affect the safe and stable operation of the host APP in extreme cases.

Companies that use FinClip focus on business operations rather than App development, because they can easily find a large number of developers in the market. Including but not limited to third-party developers, outsourced engineers, freelance technical professionals, and interns – as long as you have basic knowledge of small program development on the Internet, you can develop a large number of one-time and sporadic operational activity scenarios with extremely low technical thresholds , such as mini games, temporary event registration forms that are simple for target customers to fill out, questionnaires, etc.
Enterprises with a business ecosystem can open their own FinClip platform, allowing partners to develop small programs and put them on their own Apps to form a Rich and colorful scenes and functions to serve customers. For example, a bank credit card app can list a large number of third-party mini-programs for consumption scenarios, and a travel app can list mini-programs for food, housing, and transportation partners. What is ultimately achieved is a closed loop of customer-centered digital services. FinClip brings new possibilities to any enterprise app.
