The submission form has quite a few bugs. It doesn't accept a valid funding.json [1] that has been validated on the tab next to the submission form.

I want to create a bubble of a space that’s free from the direct influence of AI. I believe that choice should exist, just like the choice to not be indexed by search engine bots over the web.

Have you ever noticed that B(lue) and G(reen) are the center most frequencies of the visible spectrum—VIBGYOR? If the human eye is naturally adapted for blue skies and green forests, how could the blue wavelength ever be harmful to our eyes? Those are the healthiest frequencies our eyes “consume!”

So much bullshit is marketed these days that it is impossible to sleep well.

i’m not sure if silicon valley is great at technical prowess anymore. the hype machine has run its course and the tech is more proliferated and distributed than ever before.

i absolutely agree 100%

This is bad advice and just plain wrong.

There are horrible slow or just badly built apps written with native stack as well.

Native is worthwhile for “appstore only” businesses. Mostly. For everyone else, a universal web app is the recommended path forward. Anyone who has a web app should absolutely avoid rewriting the same business logic three times over in native languages just for the appstores. It’s a nightmare to maintain and sync up three teams and codebases, not to mention also insanely expensive.

The future is pwa + webassembly + webview, and there’s no advantage of native over web whatsoever.

pwa+webview+webassembly is the future of everything.

Google's strategy of locking out people from "everything" is just insane!

Someone needs to lawyer up and make them pay through the nose for stealing access to individual’s personal data that doesn't even belong to them.

precisely. and we see a lot of similar behavior from Chrome now as it helps them replace the good old search form with a url bar as the main driver of their ad dollars.

this unsolvable battle is exactly why I opted for the Brave [1] browser. all the better if they’re able to use alternate engine under the hood next.

oh yes, absolutely. fixed my comments above.

ah, but flat design is also skeuomorphic. methinks it was just some strategic intellectualism with no legs to look down on everything else that people made. clever tricks of the hive mind.

oh, yes! i remember those angry troll comments on HN as well. as if flattening all UI was the only thing that mattered and everything else was skeuomorphism.

no sweetie, not everything needs to be a pictogram. and everything you see or use online is skeuomorphism off of something in the physical world at some level. yeah, that flat design also.

Edit: Added "at some level" after helpful comments below.

Red Goose uses a Swift WKWebView wrapper for iOS (fairly latest) and Kotlin for Android. It’s stable enough but also just a step behind the bleeding edge.

I like to keep all my app specific developer controls (UX/UI, functionality etc.) in my web-app and put in only very specific native modules that an appstore forces me to use.

NoiseBlend should be an easy conversion from what I can see prima-facie.

building for app-stores is also kinda niche sorta these days. most businesses want to be on the web mainly with a presence the app stores. i make about $10k each month with Red Goose [1].

The moderators of this site are pleased.

Apparently the evangelical jehadis and MAGAts are likely gonna succeed towards a similar outcome here in the US. These people forget how much better western economies were before BREXIT and MAGA nuisance took over.

Nice work Mikael, starred!

What self-driving car are you talking about? I’d bet Twitter has had more success in computational neuroscience with their structured tweets than Tesla has had with broken roads.

yes! solar panels are the gateway drug to mankind's dyson sphere.

Hey Dan Palmer! Glad to meet you here! I apologize that our instance of puppeteer ran afoul of memory in the morning today and we couldn't generate the mockup of your website in time. It works as expected now:

I'm happy to walk you through our codebase and show you how Red Goose generates sub apps using super templates for iOS and Android. I'm at [email protected]

why surprised? more than 85% of all apps on the iOS app store use the web-view in one form or the other. App store require "minimum functionality", not minimum native stack if you read the clause you have quoted above carefully.
