Do you love polished, clean UI that makes users feel like they’re eating a candlelit dinner on the International Space Station? Are you excited about a user experience so easy and natural that your pet llamalpaca could spend $2,000 on in-app purchases, if only he or she could get his or her tiny little llamalpaca feet to match your thumbprint? Have you ever actually written PHP code before? Seriously, that last one’s pretty important. If so, you should consider joining the French Girls team!
