  • THANKS TO CORONA LABS

    Many months ago when we started developing Localyze, we looked at many SDKs, frameworks, platforms, and languages. At the end, we selected CoronaSDK as our preferred platform to build this app (and many more). Why? Lua (the language behind CoronaSDK) was easy to write, CoronaSDK was cross-platform, cost-effective and the support from the company & community was awesome. There were challenges during the process. CoronaSDK was not targeted initially for writing apps like Localyze. But as we progressed, folks at CoronaLabs introduced more and more features which made our lives easier. At the end, Localyze turned out to be something we can proud of. A lot of that credit goes to CoronaLabs, CoronaSDK and Lua. Thanks!
