Did it take over ownership as well or just the administration of the business?

Isn’t Apple already in China? There must be a reason why they are not selling much there already, but perhaps they could dump prices and increase marketing. Although China and US is in a trade war right now, so prices are more likely to increase as China increase import taxes to balance ones the US has put on imports from China.

Hehe, I guess I was too late to party to experience the good ol' days.

It has a good rating in app store today. Better than Slack, even. And although there are probably many reasons for that, atleast RN hasn't killed the ratings.

> I have never seen cross-platform UI that would work and/or look close enough to native.

But wouldn't knowing that require that you investigated the tech choices of all the apps you are using? If not, there's a slight fallacy in that you only _know_ that the app is cross platform when you can see that it is. So then obviously all the apps you know is cross platform will look out of place, because that's how you know they are cross platform. Not sure I'm making the argument very well.

For instance, I'm don't think that the Discord app for iOS and Android looks out of place [0].

> Switching to React Native for the Android app means an experience that is ever-improving at a more rapid pace across every platform Discord is available on, while still retaining Android and iOS specific patterns in the UI.

I experience them as very different.

Huddles are more like the audio calls Slack already had, but without the channel notifications.

It lacks the auto silence that Discord has, so you can't just hang in a huddle waiting for someone to talk. There's a constant hiss.

I guess they might change it, but didn't sound like this was something they were even thinking of as an issue when I spoke with a representative.

It's not tricking, but it is deceptive since they haven't chosen to submit. The current mental model of forms are to save data entries when you actively submit.

Yes, there are some settings panels that automatically save changes, but I have never seen it for forms.

If there's an submit button on that form then that would be an even stronger signification to the user that nothing will be sent to the servers until you click that button.

Yeah, but that is only necessary if the page contains ads or ads-related resources, right? That’s how I interpret the previous quote.

I've been meaning to try https://libro.fm. Maybe this is the nudge I need.

Thought about the same for a while. I didn’t compare them much, but I was leaning towards write.as. Maybe something to check out.

I searched for something similar. Considered Caddy and Nginx/Apache with markdown plugins, but wanted to be able to create and edit pages/files and made a small script with Flask instead.

Maybe. But time zones are difficult for remote teamwork, and crossing borders also have legal, language, culture and tax issues. Many remote positions on job boards are “US only”. Perhaps for these reasons.

I mentally added a comma between “on-site NAS” and “Google Drive”. Might be wrong.

I couldn't find an easy way to edit textfiles stored on github from my iPhone or iPad.

But if you use Dropbox, there are several apps that were made specifically to write posts and content in Markdown. When you tap into the Dropbox ecosystem, you gain a lot in ease of use.

Oh, no! I was totally fooled by the fake verified icon :/

I miss MeeGo

That's one spacey metaball! (sorry...)

This is genius!

Wouldn't anyone with access to my two factor authenticated Google/gmail account be able to reset most of my passwords anyway? The biggest risk is perhaps a rogue Chrome extensions scraping the password page when I visit it.

Google passwords. I trust their engineering, it's free, passwords are accessible as long as I have a browser and it comes with Chrome.

Negatives: I can't do backups, easily migrate to another supplier and it won't work automatically with other browsers. And it's Google (feels privacy invasive)

I sort of did the same. Worked there for years, but office policy wouldn't allow full time remote, so I quit. Now they hire me back. I'm think I'm the only one in the entire company.

Have you tried a Diskstation?

Thing is that wcag recommends following defined web standards, but no screen reader I tried could handle html5 style of relative h-tags, like multiple h1 tags. So if you want to adher to wcag rules, and support screen reader, you need to stick to html4. This will probably change, but in order for us to support screen readers, we ended up with some badly written html5.

As for SEO, my experience is that the big crawlers handle html5 better than screen readers, and that atleast Google puts more emphasis on font size as a measure for the pages h1. "If it looks like the pages heading, people will see it as the h1, so we should consider this a better cue than tags the users don't see" sort of logic.
