Re: How we shifted 6Wunderkinder to Wunderlist, again
#2"more than 20 engineers" on a to-do list app? Isn't that quite an overhead? I mean 37signals have 9 developers and they successfully run several products (even with their easy-going lifestyle).

Remember, they are building a backend and clients for pretty much every platform available, I would say 20 engineers is barely enough to accomplish such a task in a timely manner. 37signal makes their apps available on web only.

Their clients are really just thin wrappers around their website, e.g. UIWebView for iOS. Not sure how that takes three iOS developers.

We focus on building a solid product with a consistent experience for several platforms - Wunderlist 2 will launch with native clients on Web, iOS, Android, Mac and Windows. To build a high quality product on every platform, I think you need at least 2 developers for each platform. If you are interested this is how we split our team:
3 iOS Developers
3 Android Developers
2 Mac Developers
2 Windows Developers
5 Web Developers (they not only build the web app)
5 Backend Developers
1 Sysadmin

They're rebuilding everything native :

Have you read the article? They're moving away from titanium to native apps:

The android client hasn't been a wrapper for a long time, and the new iOS version we don't know, since it's not yet released.

Wow, that's a pretty serious burn rate.
Isn't Wunderlist/Wunderkit essentially a free todo-list app? How are you planning to monetize into a sustainable business?

Why are there both web developers and backend developers? By web developers did you mean frontend developers(primarily JS) ?
