matthewhartmans··on We became experts on Google Play Store policy violations
Thanks for sharing your experiences OP.

I have gone through the joys and pain of having an app approved and pushed live, to being teared down and removed for not meeting certain guidelines.

What frustrates me, is the reasons are very vague or don't have go into detail as to how YOUR app is in violation.

It is just a generic statement and you have to go through the hell of trial and error to figure it out.

The main ones I have faced are the following.

* Not adhering to Families policy requirements policy

* Not adhering to Google Play Developer Programme Policies

My apps are games built using Trusted Web Applications (TWA) and Google talk about the following...

"Your app must not merely provide a webview of a website or have a primary purpose of driving affiliate traffic to a website, regardless of ownership of the website. We are constantly exploring ways to enable new experiences for kids app developers. If you are interested in joining our Trusted Web App pilot for education apps, please submit your interest here"

My apps have no ads, no tracking, no analytics, they have a privacy policy, but it still gets rejected. :(

matthewhartmans··on Microsoft 3D Movie Maker Source Code

matthewhartmans··on The weight of the clipboard
Nice little piece of writing - thanks for sharing.

One of the key things I can't go without now in my workflow is a clipboard manager.

I use Rofi (https://github.com/davatorium/rofi) in combination with Greenclip (https://github.com/erebe/greenclip) and it's a Godsend.

I have a custom keybinding (super key + c) that will bring up the Rofi menu to fuzzy search through previously copied items or pinned items. Super handy when writing code, finding old snippets, etc.

Can't recommend it enough.
