Maven / Java seem to have solved it well.

My app update was rejected because my Upgrade screen was unable to fetch prices from their servers and instead showed an infinite spinner.

It's probably more worth it than Hacker News. I submitted my new site Cancel Culture Live (cancelculturelive.com) yesterday evening and it was just removed. Months working on a new shiny webapp, it starts getting a few upvotes and traction on HN, only to be removed?

The red X is a vote to cancel and the green check is a vote not to cancel.

Damn you got downvoted real quick.

Some of your questions aren't easy to answer. Maybe the first two were OK to ask. Others would probably require lawyers and maybe even courts to decide. This is a pretty cool new product just being shared on an online discussion forum. If you are serious about using it for a company, talk to your lawyers, get in touch with Github's people, and maybe hash out these very specific details on the side. Your comment came off as super negative to me.

I like the idea but am irritated that there's upfront Pricing involved. If my software is sending you customers for loans I should be sharing a commission with you and that's that. Why do you need money from me to let me send you prospects?

I never understood that Google security blog post on how they could make 2 different PDFs with different content have the same SHA but now that you mention you can stuff bytes in a file unrelated to the PDF, it makes sense...

I'm ready for the downvotes but I don't think the App Store cut is crazy. They do reduce to 15% if you have long-running subscriptions with your user. Credit cards charge 3% to start. Apple handles distribution, updates, etc. Taking 15% at the end of the day isn't terrible. And hey, they made the super shiny beloved iOS platform too in the first place, not to mention the SDK that makes the apps even possible to build!

DHH is just trying to ride cancel culture to get enough people to tweet / complain towards Apple in hopes that they cave.

Not really the same comparison. That human will eventually be able to take care of itself and do a lot more for this world than the dog ever will. Pets don't always make sense, and I tend to agree with parent.

Or maybe Wag should just connect you one-time with someone reliable in your area. It seems stupid to have strangers all the time with your dog. As the top comment mentioned, people used to just get someone reliable nearby, but the tech has eliminated the need for social interaction and communication.
