Very interesting

This is really cool.

Just had an employee at our company start expensing BoldVoice. Being able to be understood more easily is a big deal for global remote employees.

(Note - I am a small investor in BoldVoice)

I work at a company whose legal name is Monterey's Coast, Inc.

Yes they prevent sideloading.

The scare part refers to warning dialogs that iOS would pop up if you used a link to an external web browser to collect payments. It would warn you that Apple wasn't running the payments and use scary language warning you about potential fraud, etc. to try to scare people away. They would also demand a 27% fee from developers for collecting money on the web outside apps if users were paying from following that link.

I’m on the Expo team that helped build this. Let us know if you have any questions!

Hi - I'm the CEO of Expo. LMK if you have any questions or feedback about this! We're pretty stoked about it.

This is worth checking out.

Max is also working on https://castle.xyz/ now, another creation tool with some similar properties.

I've been following this project for a while now, and it's incredibly ambitious. It will take a while to reach its full potential but Jarred is doing an extraordinary amount of very good work on it, and I think there is a very good chance this will turn out to be a pretty big deal.

I made that tool originally! This looks much more modern and polished. Excited to try this.

Hi - I worked on this and can answer any questions about it!

Since it isn't very anonymous and doesn't likely have any clear tax advantage, I think the mostly likely reason for the trust is just to avoid probate in California if he passes away. https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/california-avoiding-....

I switched to Ubuntu about 6 months ago and have been shocked at how well it works. It's actually good, not just barely-workable-if-you-are-a-zealot.

I keep a Mac around for when I need to run Xcode or Photoshop but that's about it. And I boot into Windows when I want to play games.

I think the way to think about this is that there are some people who figure out ways to do things or invent things that just wouldn't be figured out or discovered by other people.

So, it's not 10x or anything-X even, it's just that, if the stuff that can be uniquely provided by "10x" people is important to you, then you need someone like that. 10 1x developers aren't likely to give you that (except to the extent that you have 10 chances to discover that one of them is actually a 10xer on some dimension).

Hi - I work on Expo.

One of the big focuses for us this year is to make that experience much better.

We've already taken some steps. (We now just give you a regular React Native project if you need one), but we plan to keep working on this stuff until you can get all the power you need to build something like Screenshot Hero with the ease of use of just making a website.

I was Rob Dubbin's teaching fellow for a computer science course he took in college. He was pretty sharp!

This is great. The examples are really good.

Do you have a link to this analysis? I couldn't find it online.

yup :) thanks!

oops -- i fixed the medium link. thanks for the heads up.

here it is: https://blog.expo.io/introducing-expo-ar-mobile-augmented-re...

It uses Apple's ARKit so it will only work on iPhones. And you need iOS 11 and at least an iPhone 6S or a very recent iPad for it to work.

Google has announced some Android AR stuff so when they roll they out, we will look at making this stuff work across both platforms. Sorry it won't work for you yet!

Hi-

I worked on this along with some other people.

Here's what a demo looks like: https://i.makeagif.com/media/9-28-2017/gMnJTj.gif

You can try a really cool demo made with it here: https://expo.io/@nikki/dire-dire-ducks

It fills your room with water and has ducks swimming around. The sound changes if you dive underwater, and if you press the screen, the ducks will swim towards you. This is a video of what it looks like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EL1emCVtIw

And you can read more about it here: https://blog.expo.io/introducing-expo-ar-mobile-augmented-re...

would be interesting to see breakdown for ionic/cordova and react native/expo as well.

One time I was debugging a problem for a user of our desktop software (I work on https://expo.io) by sharing his screen and taking over his computer. And it turned out the reason the user was having problems was that in his /etc/hosts file, he had an entry pointing localhost at the IP address of some other computer on his network. Crazy. I have no idea how anything worked on his machine.

Took a while to track that was down. Was both bewildering and sort of satisfying to figure it out in the end.

This is amazing. Very cool.
