I literally can't tell you two apart anymore, especially when you post back to back :hilarious:

Stop listening to other peoples opinions on it and use it yourself. Content creators have a vested interest in hyping this up, because all they really want is for lots of people to click on their link. Start forming your own opinions and you’ll realize, from a development standpoint, it’s a...

I had about half of a much larger post written before I realized I was wasting my time.

Oy. Did you read the book? You should read the book.

My dude, you are so wildly missing the point here.

Hoo boy. Look, I appreciate that you want to make some money. That ain't the way. There's about 3 million apps in the Play Store right now. Somewhere around 93% of them are FREE. Price is not a value skew in the general app market. If you have an interest in being an app developer outside of...

I can't say I'm too surprised that you launched this on Reddit, based on the reviews. What you've made is effectively a way to semi-anonymously trash politicians. It's always fun to scream into the void for a little bit, but what exactly is going to bring people back to your site after the...

What exactly are you planning to do once you learn how to make an Android app?

Thats always a challenge. Link it from your site for sure.

There’s a way to approximate square roots arithmetically called Heron‘s method. I had my robot assistant write it in xenforo template syntax: {{! Define a function to calculate the square root using the Heron's method }} {{ function sqrtHeron(number) }} {{ set initialGuess = 1 }} {{ set...

This is definitely something you want push notifications for. It’s not surprising that your users are forgetting to come back; it’s a cool idea but not something that engages them in a daily basis. Send a push when a new prompt goes up (use timezones and user metrics to figure out the best time)...

Wow, that's desperately-start-kicking-subscribers-off-your-list brutal. It doesn't seem like costs should go up with subscribers, not like that anyway. I wonder if there's some liability issue, like lists with 10k+ are more likely to get hit with automated spam filtering rules or something...

Geez. Can I pay an INE fee for these? :happy: One of the market lanes I've been looking at is, in my notes anyway, "social media power users". Because they mainly work from their phones, so mobile apps are appealing, and thats where my strength is. I was mostly staying away from it though...

I definitely see the benefit. And the opportunity...

Is there a sizable market segment of "people who moderate enough Facebook groups to make this a hassle"? Social Media management firms?

There's at least three or four successful companies in my city that are based around doing literally this. Dog poo cleanup. Pretty tough to find an excuse after realizing that not only can that work, but it can support several different ones in competition.

You'll need it! :hilarious:

Hard experience over a 25 year career ;) There's a lot of available resources out there. I like Kodeco for a lot of stuff, I actually still use their site and books as references very often. Big Nerd Ranch books are excellent as well, I'd suggest this one for iOS: iOS Programming: The Big Nerd...

Native, first-party supported languages and frameworks, always. That means Swift for iOS development, and Kotlin for Android.
