I don’t know what that is but anything that requires me to log into an account before telling me absolutely anything about the service is an instant no from me.
I thinks it’s fair considering is pirating, many services get shutdown for showing everything without login. It let them know you are in their discord server
that’s something i like with react native and over the air updates. In the app i ship at my job, when its only the javascript bundle that’s updated we can actually update without the user ever knowing, they just get a slightly longer load time on that startup of the app, making rather easy ensuring that no users are running out of date and broken code.
I think for now that there are more jobs in RN, but a lot of people are passionate about flutter and we might as a shift in the market in the next comings year.
I would do freelancing and building my own apps so where the market goes makes me no difference. What’s really important to me is which is the better language to learn. And I’ve seen arguments for both sides.
I know there is no better language, but I meant technically for myself and what I require. I am going to learn one but I’m doing my due diligence in research before I jump in head first.
generally Google play is rather fast, but Apple can be insanely slow sometimes. At my work we’ve had up to 6 working days to get approval of very minor updates. That’s the reason why technologies like react native with over the air updates have gotten as prominent as it has.
As someone who leads an app development team I’ve started liking pwas more and more the last couple of years. Especially for apps that doesn’t do more complex stuff than making api calls and rendering the result to the screen in the form of text.
No. The browser (which is the runtime that pwas use) is already a very limited environment with little to access to the system - and if the app wants to access something potentially sensitive, then the browser asks for permission. Even then it doesn’t have access to nearly anything that a native app can access.
That’s a good question. I’m not entirely sure of the answer to that. I suppose in a way it could be less secure because the dev could just decide to one day make the wefwef.app url into a malicious link. But at the same time, I don’t think a browser is granted as many permissions by default.
Using the Google Play Store as an example, there are still incredibly sketchy/suspicious apps on there even though they are approved by Google.
And since it doesn’t have to be published in any app stores, it can be updated much more quickly and frequently.
No kidding I think it had like 4 updates yesterday 🤣
This. I pressed update on my Android, iPhone, and Desktop and it only took like half a second. This PWA is scary good.
I thought pwa were supposed to suck but I honestly haven’t even looked at any other apps because wefef works so well
This is what blows my mind. PWAs have always been sort of ok. But wefwef is just <chef’s kiss.gif>
The first time I found out PWA don’t suck is when I tried justchilltv last month. Another dope one

Just looked that up and now I’m debating cancelling all of my streaming subscriptions.

Good to know. I haven’t decided whether I want to learn RN, Flutter, or ionic. Lemaing towards RN.

There’s no “better language”. Just languages for different use cases. You don’t have to “trust” what other have to say, just try it

Why does it take so long to push updates on AppStores?

I think they maybe have to be approved first so that people aren’t updating their apps with something malicious
So it is not as safe as downloading an app from the AppStore right?
