I agree. HN has shaped the person I am. I don't have friends or co-workers that talk about topics such as depression, burnout, and personal growth. The comments posted often serve as a passive mentorship for me. I wish I didn't have to depend on a message board for help, but I'm happy it's here. I want to thank you all for being open and honest and I want to thank Dang personally for making it all work.
The amount of encouragement in difficult situations that users receive is the main reason I stay on this site, even if it is somewhat unsocial medium the cheerfulness that gets expressed more than makes up for it.
it's meta and who knows why, has to be low levels of gamification, i think bad comments here are easier to ignore. Probably not just because of greying out comments but the civility levels we as all users agree to.
I read the article, but I'm still stuck on why Apple is asking for IAP to be included. Is the argument: "Hey, your app works with subscription services. You need to give Apple users the option to purchase via the App Store."
If so, why doesn't Fastmail (from what I can tell) offer IAP? Isn't this the same idea?
Unless I'm mistaken, all three are available on iOS right now. You can reply to a specific message, you can add/remove/leave a group iMessage, and you can name (and emoticon) group chats.
I know this is a low quality comment, but I wanted to take a moment to say that I think this looks incredible. Sleek, professional, private, and packed with utility. Great work.
I am empathetic to the situation but that's a limited view on "skin". Those who are or have loved ones (colleagues, friends, etc) in the high risk categories also have skin in the game. The 783,000 COVID-19 deaths have permanently affected tens of millions of lives.
>Which of course leaves me wondering how long it is before reddit pulls the plug on their API and forces people to use the busted mobile site or their app.
Of course. How will they do it? That's yet to be seen. Instead of pulling the API entirely, I'd bet they simply wont introduce API for new features. This will leave 3rd party apps as inferior while Reddit doesn't have to deal with the backlash of pulling the API entirely. I'd argue this is already occurring.
