   The client is a piece of shit tho. Posted to the wrong channel/topic more than once now.. A native mac app would be a game changer. Would pay for it.

   For web apps: F# + .NET + ASP NET on the backend F# + Fable on the frontend Otherwise just F# + .NET - basically runs everywhere and is good for anything.

   agree. I’ve inherited codebases from new “architects” who seemingly have just read GoF.

   Basically this means: You either need a Bachelors degree or a (small) track record of success in the industry.

   Just here to emphasise the fact that the average fresh bachelor holder is way less competent in software development than someone who spent 3 years+ in the industry. Equivalent here does not really mean equivalent.

    would prefer no having an operation, but if it's the proven path that helps I'd definitely consider it. Just not sure if it's worth it if I'd need to wear glasses after a few years again. For me the goal would be to at l

    I've written quite a lot of F# code for the web over the last few years. Most of the time things just work as long as you don't use overly specific .NET BCL stuff. We had issues with Dates. Implementing a custom 'ZonedDateTim

    Used Teams because a company I contracted for heavily used it internally. I would pay not to use it. Their 'native' apps don't even try to integrate with the OS - so you get custom notifications and stuff. The UI also is supe

    We have great success with F# (both backend and frontend). Can’t recommend it enough.

    We were in the same situation a few months ago. Someone with a sense for design, UX and API design should - Create well designed small components (Button, Link, Input, ...) - Create well designed bigger components to compose small ones (Lis

    not directly related to this post, but it’s mentioned that ‘async’ spawns a process. This seems very heavy. I guess Process does not refer to an OS Process here?

    +1 We've been using F# with great success for a few projects now. Our stack is super simple. On the backend we use F# (on .NET with ASP.NET Core) + Postgres. On the frontend we use F# (via Fable with React and the Feliz Bindings). htt

    Yeah - mostly agree. > I guess I see this in the opposite way as intended: why should an adult who's been vaccinated be punished in trying to get tested, as a side effect of trying to punish someone who hasn't? From my experien

    What do you mean by `Mac-native UI`? I guess they tried to make the app look like a native app? The interesting part is that this is even worse IMHO. Because you get into an uncanny-valley pretty soon.

    I'd rather not have the app than have a version that feels out of place on my system.

    I'd say that if you had to choose a desktop platform to build paid apps for Mac OS is the best choice. Mac users tend to spend (more) money on software. BTW. there is a paid native slack client: https://shrugs.app

    It would not be possible to do this in electron. To have the same great native feeling UI you’d need to use AppKit - not HTML. Don’t get me started at the usual shortcuts and general platform behavior most electron apps get wrong.

    Why would you do this when you already have invested in two native apps? The user experience is unarguably better with real native apps - even considering react native is better than a lot of other alternatives. Does it really make developm

    Good question indeed, I'd say it comes down to: - apps fit my workflow better - even if its just a different icon in the dock. - having an actual non web tech based app would be great because web apps always behave slightly different t
