for context, my country has like $3B in forex reserves (just 3 months of import cover), damn!

thank you for the explanation.

I'm really wondering how this change passed Apple's App Store review process. They can be strict on features like this.

But I guess the rules are different for Big Companies, coz for example, none of us can have a single letter for an app name, like X.

Do you guys like or trust Vivaldi?

How are y'all turning on the generator? I'm stuck.

maybe a gamer recognizes game logic but I can't understand even level 1. I guess I should start playing some games.

metro - no pun intended :)

Happy New Year HN! From Uganda!

I built WattsApp (https://wattsapp.co) to let me see the battery status of my second phone, then i figured i could add a social spin to it.

Representing Sub-Saharan Africa, Uganda and Kenya mostly, Mobile Money and M-Pesa are ruling payments, even for very small amounts. However, the charges here in Uganda are still high. Cash is quicker and definitely cheaper.

Hi, its not open source. But happy to share any programming lessons from above.

Yes, your contacts have to install the app too.

To code in swiftui, you may need a mac. Flutter though, is cross platforms.

Someone help me understand this part...didn't know this

The best part is opening the file explorer with a single click of the folder icon.

Exactly, I did think of all this, especially about the Security implications of running such a service, another example, what happens when said Faang Employee leaves Faang and does not explicitly say so but keeps representing the former company.

Thanks for your feedback. This is why I thought I should get feedback before coding further.

Makes sense

That's why I was wondering whether the service would be legal. Thanks

Thanks!

And true, the service is only good if Fanng/Fortune500 employees signup. I agree, its only a bandaid because Faang needs to step-up to solve this.

I think the only reason I added Login with google is that it's frictionless, just to enable users quickly setup accounts.

Shameless plug; I'm building FaangSupport[0] to try to solve this issue, did a Show HN[1] to try and get some feedback but It didn't get enough traction; Most Important Feedback I needed is whether my idea is even legal. But I believe we have to democratize accesss to customer support for Faang.

True

It could also be because we combine UserDefaults + App Groups to allow known apps to access shared data [1]

oh @meta.com?

I have 0 FAANG or Fortune500 experience, hence posting this here at this stage. I basically need to know whether this would work before i continue coding.

An Instant question would be; How do you ensure the authenticity of Faang Employees? Well, Faang Email addresses are standard, for example @google.com @facebook.com etc, if you are signing up as a Faang Employee, We first check that this email is indeed a Faang Email and then We send you an email to verify your Faang Email.

Thanks!

Saw the .hn domain and I was like What...HN has its own TLD. Then i searched google and saw it belongs to honduras...daft me i guess..

I think what is happening is that there is a push to settle bi-lateral trade using the currencies of the two countries that are trading, and then it will grow from there. Many Countries still use the US Dollar to settle bilateral trade between themselves.
