MLB hires indie Mosaic app developer

Jason Weingardt, an indie developer, has joined Major League Baseball (MLB) to work on their Mosaic app. Weingardt, who previously worked on an iOS baseball app called Mosaic, expressed his excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to help shape how fans experience baseball through the app. The app, which has been in TestFlight for a few months, uses Apple's platform technologies to provide live game data and other MLB features in a way that MLB's app does not.

Mosaic also integrates with MLB TV, allowing subscribers to watch games via the app, including in a mind-blowing multiview. Weingardt praised MLB for hiring him and for sticking with the app, despite the high expectation that it would be crushed. He looks forward to the future of Mosaic and hopes that fans will continue to provide feedback to improve the app.
