What is Developer Services?
Developer Services is an effort to provide useful services to web developers in a way that supports those developers ability to create a better Internet.
We're focusing on Cloud-based services, which may be integrated with Dev Tools where it makes sense on a per-service basis.
In the future, some or all of these services may be offered under a freemium model.
What are the Developer Services?
For any service, the value proposition is this:
- Solves the user's problem -- catches common issues in new code and running web sites
- Easy to start using -- fits into existing workflow; little or no time to learn; no additional test code to write
- Mission-driven pricing (if pricing is necessary)
- Backed by Mozilla and open source
Based on these ideas and MDN survey data, the following services are being prototyped:
- a compatibility scanner
- a security scanner
Other developer services may also be provided in the future, such as:
- an accessibility scanner
- a geolocation service
- a dashboard for developers working with Push
