MAFO (Mobile App Development Forum) is a community platform for mobile app developers, offering discussions, tutorials, and resources on mobile app development topics. With a focus on iOS and Android app development, MAFO provides insights, tips, and best practices to help developers build high-quality mobile apps. Developers can learn about mobile app design, development frameworks, and platform-specific features, and engage with fellow developers to share knowledge and solve problems.

AI coding assistants suffer from context erosion — decisions and their reasoning fade as sessions grow long, and nothing survives a session boundary. The proposed solution, 'context anchoring', externalizes feature-level decision context into a living document updated throughout development. Unlike project-level priming documents, this feature document captures specific decisions, their rationale, rejected alternatives, open questions, and implementation state. It enables warm-start sessions, coordinates multiple developers sharing AI sessions, and preserves the 'why' behind decisions that automated context compaction silently discards. A practical example with a notification service shows how a sub-50-line document replaces 45 minutes of context reconstruction. The approach is calibrated to effort: lightweight capture for single-session work, full documents for multi-day or multi-developer features.
