I’d rather just tweet a link to a blog post and let the discussion happen there. Plus, you get “free” eyeballs on it since it’ll appear in the commenter’s social graph.

If you wanted to “own” the data, you could periodically scrape the tweet’s comments.

I think there’s a cool product somewhere in there.

Not all extensions work yet, unfortunately. C++ wasn’t usable, last time I tried.

I use more than one zone because I run TCP services which need low latency. I'll probably just switch to Digital Ocean.

I run a hobby project in multiple zones because low latency is important, and Kubernetes makes it easy to do so.

There's no way I'm going to pay an extra $73/mo -- I already pay for the computing resources, this should be free.

Looks like I'll be moving away from GKE. It's a shame, I _was_ a big advocate.

> Xcode 11.4 supports building and distributing macOS apps as a universal purchase. To distribute your macOS app as a universal purchase, specify the same bundle identifier as your iOS app in the Xcode template assistant when creating a new project. If you have an existing project, edit its bundle identifier in the Project Editor.

Thanks for your feedback. Honestly, I was just being sassy. It probably is like comparing apples to oranges. This technique does not concern itself with a cross-platform interface. It only makes it possible to keep the logic cross-platform so that the "only" difference is the UI implementation, which can be done using native SDKs.

Yes! I've shipped an app, on the Mac App Store, which uses Go in a non-trivial way (including spawning goroutines). The link is in the article.

Thanks!

Hey, thanks for your feedback.

One of the biggest reasons that I decided to distribute on the Mac App Store was to establish trust. If I embraced its limitations (i.e. sandboxing), it'd help me build a product that was more secure and have some sort of proof that it was.

Also, the company (me) behind the app is based in France, which has some of the toughest privacy laws. The privacy policy, although in English, is compliant with French law. The short version is that Emporter doesn't collect user data, or perhaps most importantly, user content.

I have quite a lot I want to discuss about this via the company blog, which ironically is part of the reason I decided to post a "Show HN". I wanted contextualize the product a little bit before inviting this kind of discussion.

Thanks for your positive input. HN can be brutal, but I have gotten some great feedback, even if it was hard to hear.
