How will this affect companies in a technical aspect? Just no more e2e encryption available in the clients? Or will it be some kind of weird e2e with a backdoor (which is not how encryption works)…

Alright, I might try it out. When the user cancel iOS the subscription is still payed and valid until the month ends probably. I guess one could delay the Stripe period the same amount of days or something.

I might be migrating to using Revenuecat and I am curious about one thing. I have in app subscriptions in iOS and Android. I plan to add Stripe into this mix as well at some point and I wonder if you handle the case when users jump from subscriptions in one platform to another.

I would like to move certain users (for instance by recommending that in a newsletter, or handing out coupons for the Stripe subscription) from their current iOS subscription to Stripe, and it is hard to make the overlap smooth. Does Revenuecat have some solution to this?

I have thought about this relative rating as well. Would it be possible to use? I mean, does it scale? I also have seen some ratings where you can only rate between 5 - 10, I guess since no one ever rates below 5 anyway. I think it kind of works.

This is how I intend of doing it. I am more curious of how I could place the ads in the app to make them blend in as much as possible.

I only use uuid as PK in Postgres. So many benefits, it is easy to migrate data between environments, client can generate its own ids etc.

I don’t know about performance but I think in most cases that is not a big concern anyway.

Why don’t they just stick to mini series? Best invention since the movies imo.
