Certainly, it's native, haha. I'm a developer who really dislikes Chrome-based apps due to their excessive memory consumption. The pricing in the app store is on the higher side be…

thanks and there's currently no way to try it for free but, I've updated the pricing :)

1. Users retain control over their API key (hence fixed model pricing structure). 2. Upon initial installation of the application, it transmits specific information about the app, …

You're absolutely right – we're still in the early stages of the AI journey. Good luck with your AI tool as well

Hello HN, I must admit, I might be fashionably late to the GPT party, but it was back in early February when I first delved into the world of ChatGPT. To say I was instantly captiv…

Not sure how much coding you do nowadays but, I would highly recommend getting https://polypad.io/ license for quick macro tasks. I also recommend a https://www.masterclass.com/ su…

Definitely agree! Nowadays many developers skip over the design patterns, thinking abstractly, etc which over times causes technical debt. Many companies have very good processes i…

I remember spending hours sometimes trying to solve a single problem but I did not look up the solutions just worked my way through the problem sets. Algorithms definitely helped m…

I use to frown upon cross-platform js solutions until I built a cross platform app. While the initial app building part was no problem, packaging them for various platforms (macos,…

It wasn't mentioned in the article but I'd say as developers, we often underestimate the amount of time a task/project would take. Learning how to properly estimate a given task an…

Users can care less about the app being native or non-native. I just want it to work and not slow me down. It's frustrating sometime when you switch machines and software you've pu…

The thing with programming in general is that everyone will write code differently depending on how they look at the problem. The best programming language is the one you are most …

This was a great read and I definitely agree with the author that you have to be careful about data that you post online. This is a reason why I've created Polypad ( https://matteb…

You are estimating 2 weeks and I am assuming 40hrs/week (modest). Take your hourly rate and multiply it by 80hrs that is your estimated cost to build. In terms of finding if it is …

This!!! I have started many "side projects" with the notion that once I build it I will then find customers etc. This is terrible thinking and most of the times lead me to think my…
