More info

Twixl lets you create native iOS and Android apps. On iOS this can be an App Store or an Enterprise app. An app can either be tablet only, phone only or universal.
Twixl apps are platform-based. The content is stored on the Twixl Distribution Platform and pushed into the app when the reader requests it. You can organize the interface according to your needs and make your content accessible from that interface.
Twixl offers different options to save content offline and to manage the size of the app. Every app can also be made available for viewing in a browser. Based on the tablet layout. This allows you to publish your content to desktop or laptop users. This makes social sharing extremely powerful. Your user can immediately share the content he is reading providing direct access to it without the need to first download the app.
Twixl Push notifications allows ‘deep linking’, which means they’ll bring your users directly to where you want them to arrive in your app.
App interface

Layout the interface of your app just the way you want to.
Guide your user through your app.
Create your custom navigation.

More info

The great thing about Twixl is that it gives you so many capabilities to organize how to introduce your content to your users. The concept of ‘browse pages’ lets you create an interface for your app and create a custom layout. You can create either one ‘browse page’,or you can create multiple browse pages, if you have a lot of content in your app. You can even personalize the content based on the reader’s profile. A special navigation menu (called ‘hamburger menu’) lets you create list of quick access links to anywhere inside (or outside) your app. You are in control all the way during the creation process and what is so fantastic about this, is that you can update the interface and the navigation instantly without the need to publish an update of the app itself.

The beast behind the beauty

At Twixl, we give storytellers the tools to make mobile content look beautiful right out of the box – without knowing a line of code.

Here’s an overview of our main features:

Entitlement

Lets you manage who can access which content, and for how long. This can be used to manage subscribers of a magazine but also allows companies to define access based on users and groups criteria.

Content segmentation

Using advanced scripting you can filter the content that’s displayed in the app, based on a number of properties like language, geolocation, categories, etc.

Integration API

Twixl Publisher lets you easily integrate with different solutions for automated production flows and lets you push content to the Twixl Distribution Platform and into your app.

Automated content sources

Lets you integrate RSS feeds or news feeds from your web site, or basically any site, in your app. This could also be a YouTube or Vimeo Channel. It gives you the ability to create a constant flow of content in your app and so to offer added value in your app in a very easy way.

Browser client

The ‘browser client’ brings the whole article-based app experience to the web, all your content, and your browse pages. All content can be published to both your app and your web site. All interactive elements are supported, all updates are instant.

Custom URL

By default the content of the browser client is accessible from a Twixl domain, ‘https://browserclient.twixlmedia.com', but you can setup an optional ‘custom domain’ so it appears as if it is published on your own domain.
