As an Android user, I am completely blown away by two things: #1 iPhones got this only in 2020, when Android had this since the first version, #2 iPhone owners are willing to spend $28 for a icon pack, a very nice one, but still an icon pack.

I have several side projects and blog regularly and can definitely agree that it's rain or shine for smaller creators without large audiences. I go from several sales in a day to weeks without any interest.

Edit: That being said I'm on Twitter @k0ode if you want to follow along.

There is nothing on this blog that I can see except text and some links at the bottom, yet if I have JS disabled I just get a black page. JS to display text. Brilliant.

Works fine for me on Firefox 81 with JS disabled.

Meta rant: Why, oh why do people use low contrast colors and expect people to be able to read their blog? Has nobody heard about accessibility? Or do they not care, because “I can read it”.

Just use Reader View to make it more accessible.

All I'm seeing is a completely black page. Wonder if it's uBlock origin, Firefox, or macOS that the page doesn't play nice with.

I believe this was the animsition script that was causing the issues. I removed it and should load fine now.

The same issue occurs on https://super.so/, if you happen to have any affiliation with them.

Different platforms have different priorities.

Is android still using really low resolution icons?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I don't. I've hired people on fiverr and tapped development teams I've worked with before to deliver quickly. "Had I not have already vetted that development team I wouldn't have been ready to capitalize so quickly. Had I not practiced making static websites. Had I not practiced tying SSL to domain names so that people take me seriously." I'm not diminishing OP's skill, I am diminishing the message and pointing out w…

> This is prosperity preaching (being rewarded for prior sacrifices because of those prior sacrifices) But don't those prior experiences grow your skill to a degree?

An influencer pushing your version of a product is a greater reason for prosperity than any merit of the product. That's the only point.

You are grasping at straws to support traf's view of the events.

Yes, doing something in the past helps you do something in the future. No, thats not the reason traf's work went viral.

It's like Among Us. Published in 2018, absolutely exploded in 2020 due to a single Twitch streamer. I'm pretty sure the devs of Among Us became millionaires virtually overnight. Influencers with large followings wield awesome power.

Also before the hype, Among Us wasn't doing well at all. They went from practically zero to straight millions. That's some crazy luck.
