    Hi Royce and Oliver, I have a suggestion: look into dimming the screen slowly for the last 30-60 seconds before you pull a person out of the app. This will greatly decrease the ann…

    What year will GTP be able to take an app written in Swift/SwiftUI and output a spectacular Android translation? 3-years? 5-years? 10-years? This is an interesting benchmark becaus…

    If you think that is wild, did you know Tesla is worth almost 1,000 Palms! The iPhone launched in '07 & AAPL saw its cap go from $100b → $2,400b in 14 yrs In the same 14 yrs Nokia:…
