Some thoughts: - RN is a good place to start if you have React experience. The instant feedback via hot-reloading for UI is quite nice and makes learning fun. Maintenance can be an…

Thanks for the info - I’m a big fan and very appreciative of Wix’s RN contributions!

Is Wix moving away from React Native at this point?

I'm always looking to better my flow for PDF reading so really appreciate this question. I have settled with Notability due to its nice iPad app where I use my Apple Pencil to anno…

For anyone in SF, I'd recommend checking out the Dolphin Club if you're into swimming in cold water – it's right on Aquatic Park in Fisherman's Wharf and has saunas that you can ju…

+1. And I think specifically the SKIP LOCKED Postgres feature is relevant for this - https://tnishimura.github.io/articles/queues-in-postgresql/

Ah interesting to hear, thanks! Guess it would've been a pretty big ball-drop to not continue to own a piece

Juul was spun-off from Pax (unclear to me if Pax still owns a portion of it). And Juul's nicotine is the "big driver" of Juul's sales, not weed (as the commenter above claims)

"Also, it isn't tobacco that is the big driver of juul sales. Weed is." What do you mean by this? Juul doesn't sell weed products and is hugely successful because it has made nicot…

I've never gotten a chance to try out CloudKit but it has always looked pretty cool to me, especially after previous experiences with Parse. However, it seems like it'd reallllly t…

1) is so great -- thanks for making/sharing. I run into the clunky search process for 10k's once in a while and think your site does a great job improving that experience. In case …

This is the same advice I was going to give and is how I've been working on my design skills. One addition: you should look through Dribbble [0] or similar sites for inspiration, a…

I've found Google's Pagespeed Insights[0] to be a great resource for keeping obese sites in check. Their site will give you stats on load time as well as instructions on how to opt…

Not a book, but since your description asks for a "source": Developing iOS 8 Apps with Swift[0]: Stanford course with a great professor that focuses on learning Swift with a heavy …

I've had similar thoughts for private companies, but don't know enough about the possible underlying financial product structure. Can anyone shed some light onto the possibility of…

I was also thinking that many CS students learn Java as part of their degree (though I don't have stats handy), so Android is a natural extension there.

This talk is great -- I'm re-watching now! Anyone have other similar videos? It's always cool to hear the about others' systems and how they evolve

What are your reasons for preferring Xamarin? I've been meaning to try it out but have not gotten around to it

Looks pretty cool! As someone who already has housing in SF, do you ever open up the Wednesday dinners to non-surfers, or have any other open events?

Thanks! Ionic is really awesome!! I would highly suggest trying it out, especially if you have familiarity with Angular -- you can make apps very quickly. The community is very hel…

Yes, that's a main concern of mine, but I really liked the idea of a train hitch (like how the app connects people)

wow, thanks for the post! I'm the creator and would love to answer any questions. It will be on app stores soon, and I may expand it to other cities if it takes off, since it's bas…
