I read somewhere that the military uses iPhones with the camera removed and wanted to see if this was something I could buy. The answer is yes.

Definitely!

It’s a fair assumption. The React part is more about copying JSX and other React concepts (declarative UI etc) but it all boils down to native binaries. The toolchain is also pretty nice. It does hot reloading so you don’t have to recompile the app while building locally. The downside is you get less for free compared to SwiftUI. But SwiftUI also has many footguns and bugs. No free lunch!

Came here to write this. I am getting much better results from Firecrawl (not affiliated with them, just a happy customer).

Railway is the spiritual successor. Fly is great too. I highly recommend both.

I bought and tried to use the MP02 as a daily driver. Quite different from where Punkt is heading now. The industrial design is gorgeous, but the software was pretty bad (laggy, unintuitive navigation - Android on such a low powered chip was a bad choice). I can guess why, but it baffles me they didn't jump on the growing demand for dumbphones. If they had just released an MP03 with identical form factor but improved battery life, latency and screen improvements, I would have bought one in a heartbeat.

HTMX is a great choice for an app that only needs forms, validation and partial template rendering, though CSS view transitions are making partials less relevant for server side web applications.

For things with heavy interaction (drag and drop, chat etc.), I find the code to make it work with HTMX is just too clumsy to work with as a mental model.

I learned so much from this site- including that so much education comes from being prompted to ask the right questions.

Success rate depends on many factors (risk of failure, your value to the business, complexity of the ask), but it's definitely on average much higher than 5% (I sell this technology and look at the results many times a day).

> Companies need to stop looking at customer support as an expense, but rather as an opportunity to build trust and strengthen your business relationship.

This is bang on. But unfortunately many companies have top down mandates to drive costs down (without backstops for LTV retention) and they look at top line growth as separate from OpEx. It's weird and broken, but it's a side effect of the common organizational structure of most enterprises. There are companies that do not look at themselves divisionally as CX, Sales, Product, Marketing etc. and the ones I can think of do have very high NPS (apple comes to mind).
