I am looking to experiment with ecommerce a bit and Ive signed up for shopify trials but since I want to extensively customize my store, learning liquid has been something i keep procrastinating on and this seems like a more approachable and affordable way to launch experimental stores but I want to understand what exactly you offer.

You're charging $5/month for the front end and hosting of the tiny store/website and on top of that I need to have the additional $9/month shopify lite plan correct?

What does this allow you to do?

Holy guac, room temperature superconductivity seems almost science fiction-y but just imagine the disruption it would make. I would be particularly excited to experience how much electric motors and energy transfer/storage and conversion would improve.

Reddit has gone through many changes both in the product and the organization.. I feel like its initial purpose/mission has been lost in the way that it was intended as an open space to share things. I do absolutely hate the redesign and hate having to type the URL out.. the redesign is more tedious and eats up data like mad

As an extension, not only is Apple guilty of the absurd 30% tax on IAP, Google does it too and I think its very unfair that you cannot choose your own payment processor. Apple and Google should be viewed as an oligarchy of some sort being that they control almost all of the mobile market. The fact that there is almost no oversight to their business practices and their ability to literally take any app off the market or charge whatever processing fee they want is ridiculous. Its not like any company can also just set out to build their own app store since Google and specially Apple would never allow them to compete. I could go on this topic for days since I just know how much mobile developers are so vulnerable and powerless against the app stores.

The unfortunate reality of the situation is that a lot of these disparities have to do with culture. Wealthier neighborhoods tend to be white and asian as those cultures tend to instill pursuing a higher level of education in their children as well as a few other positive values I could mention.. As long as politically correct leftists (a majority in this country) keep turning a blind eye away from these hard truths, and refuse to put their boot on the ground, these communities will unfortunately continue to be afflicted by their own culture.

Sure but I think this really applies to industries under a free market in general however the dynamics in the tech sector are such that a single person with little to no startup capital can create something with paranormal returns and that is really what indies are after (perhaps after having their idea come to life). I wonder if there any other industries that have this same allure

Great suggestion but from what I've read there really isn't a way to detect uninstall events on Android.
