    it depends on what you want/need to learn. Since it seems like there is a team developing these apps, I think it would be godo to ask them this question. At least to understand wha…

    For some reason this strikes me as the rule "it's better to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission." If I'm being pessimistic, I would assume they decided to automatically opt…
