![]() Like you, we want the best apps for our Android phones and we want you to have 'em all. The problem is: there are just too many of them and, even with Editor's Choice, highlighted apps and all the bundles there to help you find your way, it's just humanly impossible to find the needle in the haystack.Īnd that's why we here at Aptoide decided to welcome Web Summit 2016 in Lisbon, Portugal with a bang □ and came up with the Aptoide App Awards. But, more importantly, it is a letter of gratitude for them doing the work on their why so that I could show all the amazing impact that Storyo has already provided to the world instead of having a “corporate value delivered per dollar spent” conversation.The Aptoide store has witnessed a baby boom of apps lately, and if you scroll through the App Store you'll be able to find all the apps and all the versions of those same apps that can cater to your every need. ![]() This is a message of hope and deep appreciation for the support that Melodics has provided. The tech industry and music industry have a lot of work to do in the area of representation, equity & belonging, and I hope we can all get in the arena together because there is work for everyone here. In fact, we are all starting on this journey in some way or another - removing barriers that we built or upheld for so long requires work and courage and commitment. ![]() They haven’t “solved” DEI internally (not like anyone can “solve” it), they are just starting. Melodics isn’t a big corporate either, they are a team of 40 people who are trying to make it work for their business too. Storyo was born out of love and passion while I was working at Melodics as a Product Manager, and simultaneously advocating for better DEI: how do we ensure people on the team feel like they belong? How do we address DEI for our user base, music & tech industry as a whole?įor someone who works tirelessly in the arena, having companies that support you in ways that are possible to them because they believe in the importance of your work and because they want to contribute to that shift in culture that we really need is music to my ears. Melodics is a Tāmaki Makaurau based team of engineers, musicians, designers and educators that created an app to help you learn to play musical instruments in a fun way. What’s in front of you now is how do I support it, learn about it, celebrate it? ![]() And it’s a never-ending one too! When you awaken to reasons of DEI’s beauty, richness, just outcomes, representation, belonging, culture, and, you know, being on a better side of history - the question of “whether I should support it or not” becomes obsolete. What I think I am realising more and more is that doing your own work as a team, as an executive, as an individual on why you want to support DEI is actually most of the journey. I wrote a whole separate article on my feelings about it… When it comes to companies supporting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives, organisations or people’s individual mahi - whether external or internal, the question of “value delivered per dollar spent” is usually ever-present.
