Hi, Aerobatic co-founder here. $15 p/mth provides quite a bit more than a custom domain - CI/CD, deploy staging environments, health checks, and loads of other features. Other services charge 2x - 3x for all of those capabilities.
Also, for our existing users, there is a special pricing discount where it's only $10 p/mth. ICYI, the discount code is BITBUCKET2017 and expires March 1st.
Anyone know if this study accounts for the shift from web to native apps?
"...in 2008, Chat is by far the largest category, attracting over 25% of households’ attention; however, this category saw a dramatic shift by 2013, dropping to less than 2% in 2013."
It does not. Dataset is from comscore, see the comscore website, and comscore is unable to track the click-stream of native apps. If it did, that would raise many security issues.
Looks like they have mobile SDKs that interested developers could hook into, presumably they would also track aggregated numbers from that: http://www.comscore.com/applicationsdk
Probably only happens for apps with events that require third party verification, though.
I'm an Atlassian engineer & heavy Aerobatic user. It's very nicely integrated with Bitbucket, and has great support for Jekyll, Hugo, and arbitrary npm builds. It also has some advantages over github.io like being able to deploy multiple feature branches from the same repository to separate sites, so you can have separate "staging" and "production" versions.
It is a paid offering, though you get two repositories free, and is very pretty reasonably priced beyond that.
