Releasing AddThis on Cloudflare Apps: Making Disciplined Product Design Decisions

In this guest post by Emily Schwartz, Product Manager for AddThis team at Oracle, she discusses the process of building an app on Cloudflare Apps platform. The decision to build a simpler version of their floating sharing sidebar was made due to time and resource constraints. They opted to serve auto-personalized buttons and limit settings to cosmetic changes like number of services displayed and bordered styling. Users don't even need to register an AddThis account to use the share buttons on Cloudflare Apps or work with any code. The team is now considering connecting the app to the addthis.com dashboard and including other tool styles or types in the future.
