[Googler who works with the Flutter team] I'm a big fan of your app! It has become the main way I consume and watch stock data. There are some minor issues however. The "Watchlist"…

On a somewhat related note, I've always been impressed by the number and quality of charting libraries for the web. A while back I was looking for native charting libraries for And…

Exciting match with top notch commentary. I'm rooting for a sweep of the series.

I had the exact same experience coming from T-Mobile as well. No issues after the reset and enjoying the service so far, especially when I travel internationally.

One benefit I see over a simple pencil and paper is the ability to translate between languages. I believe they showed an example of that in the video in which Chinese Sign Language…

This.

I understand your point of view. I didn't return to Canada for convenience though. I returned because McGill is phenomenal school. Moreover, I knew I would need to do internships d…
