The app is the handiwork of the startup’s new mobile team, which has been plugging away for the better part of the summer.
Quora, a Silicon Valley-based knowledge-sharing site, is the brainchild of two high-ranking Facebookers: the social network’s first chief technology officer, Adam D’Angelo, and Charlie Cheever, who oversaw the creation of Facebook Connect. In May, it raised $50 million in a round led by Facebook board member Peter Thiel.
