In the future, apps created for the general public of the company’s users will be offered through a marketplace in the platform, which is going to be launched later in the year.

“Speaking as a developer, this is the dream!” Roy Mann, co-founder and CEO of monday.com said in a press release. “The Framework eliminates any friction and heavy lifting from building an App and as a worker, knowing that any additional functionality or integration can be built on the monday.com platform is deeply empowering. We can’t wait to see the different building blocks people will build and the different ways customers will use them.”
