What was the original business model that Honey had? I only know of the current Honey approach, inserting themselves into the checkout page, did Honey work differently before? More like a coupon search engine? That’s the only way I can imagine “first click” makes sense.

I totally agree! I really liked https://lets-go.alexedwards.net which walked you through creating a web api with a database. When I did it, I decided to use SQLite instead of what was in the course, which meant I could follow along but still had to understand and choose the right dependency etc myself.

(I’m not affiliated, just a happy customer)

I wasn’t aware that WKWebView granted the app such power. Is there a way for me as a user to figure out if WKWebView or SFSafariViewController is being used if I have a web page open? Although I don’t use FB, I do use the web view of other apps and don’t want them to be able to do this either.

We got your point the first time you posted this. You come across as someone who tries to keep the monopoly for themselves.

In addition to what the others have said, make sure you have a CI and don’t review the PR until that’s showing green. The CI should ideally include tests, linting according to a common code standard and other “grunt tasks” that are unnecessary in a PR review.

Indeed similar to all Big Tech companies laying off the past year.

I’m using QuickScan on iOS for this, which has customizable favorite export locations so that you with one press after a scan can upload to specific folders in google drive etc.

Your examples with even numbers in feet and odd in meters tell me that is what you’re used to.

I can counter with that saying 180 cm is a lot easier than 5 feet 10.86 inches. No one says that, similar to that no one would say 17.78.

What’s convenient with metric is that there isn’t any difference between saying 180 or 179 cm. You just say, “one seventy nine”, not “one hundred and seventy nine”. Here I am showing what I am used to.

I don’t agree with that design decision. As a new user, you might come across this site and think it only contains the visual gifs (there are many such design sites without code). Since there’s no indication that the source code exists, I won’t have any idea that I should view it further on my computer.

I would propose to make the mobile the full experience, just making the copy code part less of a focus.

I agree. I can manage my notifications across more channels a lot better in Slack than in MS Teams

Apart from it being over Zoom, the main differentiator is that only one party eats. That’s a clear show of power. What you are talking about is that that both meet over food, which is very different.
