    Congrats to the Mistral team for launching! A general-purpose OCR model is useful, of course. However, more purpose-built solutions are a must to convert business documents reliabl…

    How are the "was this page helpful?" links working out on web.dev? Are you receiving useful feedback?

    Just us out at [Ionic]( https://ionicframework.com/ ) - a complete platform for doing just that. Write a web app using your framework of choice (or none at all!) then deploy as a P…

    Love love love Netlify! Moved my blog from Tumblr (lol - but it was free!) to Netlify with Hugo as the static site generator. A wonderful experience. With little effort, my blog no…

    Saw this on Reddit last night, poked around on a few pages. It's great! Love the movie list example on this page: https://github.com/bpesquet/thejsway/blob/master/manuscript/... . …

    Ah sure, sorry about that! I meant to elaborate but got distracted haha. Up until now, I've used plain web tech... but will be switching to React Native or Ionic soon. They both of…

    Based on your main point, no experience, I have two suggestions: React/React Native for the framework approach, or something lighter: Simple HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. My backgroun…

    Absolutely! Despite critics, they can feel native due to increasingly better phone hardware and picking a good framework (KendoUI Mobile, Ionic, React Native, Xamarin). I use Kendo…

    Here here! I do the same for my line of fitness apps. $3.99 at the moment. The only way for consumers to begin to understand that the software they use everyday costs real money to…

    Sorry, missed your comment. Honestly, it's been tough. Oftentimes they claim that they couldn't find something/store was out of it (not sure I buy that!) or the produce they choose…

    Love this comment. In a similar vein: like everyone else here, I work the typical 9 to 5 then work on side projects nights & weekends. I agree with the spend money approach! Invest…

    I've attended every year so far, it's a blast! Like someone else mentioned, like many conferences, the more you put in the more you get out. There is a large variety in content and…

    Creator here. I love trying large varieties of beers at tastings, festivals, and breweries. The current Untappd app doesn't make check-ins easy for these events - hence my app idea…

    What was the app's name? I built the same thing but for Android app about 4 years ago: FixMyQ. It's still a painful use case that I wish they would officially implement, or at leas…
