Writing a simple VB6 app is easier than a simple React app, sure. But things get complicated when something needs to happen in the background — you need threading, and all the issues that come with threads in most GUI frameworks.

The real VB6 IDE would report errors like this at compile time.

VB6 is a terrible, quirky programming language, and it’s a pain to debug, especially if you’re used to modern development tools. Microsoft killed it to push .NET (although originally, VB.NET was promoted as the main GUI language). People we

The problem with GNOME is that it caters to a very narrow audience, yet it is the default in most Linux distributions.

I’m using a Samsung phone. A lot of the software on my phone (especially the software I paid for with the phone) is made in South Korea. I don’t pay for a lot of apps, but the apps I paid for were made by developers from France, Spain, Japa

WhatsApp et al. are doing fine and are the primary choice in Europe. But in the US, for some reason, people prefer not installing messaging apps, and instead keep the default messaging app, which means iMessage on iOS.

I would benefit from the app myself, primarily. And I would need to pay to host it anyway. Others may also make use of it, with no warranty, and no guarantee of me keeping the service running for any length of time.

There's nothing wrong with writing an app to scratch your itch. But this app could be a web app, and I don't see any value in it being a subscription. The cost of hosting something like this is so minuscule that I'd make it f

Skip the Apple tax and build a web app. A simple web app like this should not cost a significant amount of money to host.

People outside of the US have solved this problem by adopting an OS-agnostic Internet-based messaging platform like WhatsApp, Signal, Facebook Messenger, or Telegram. There are one or two people I exchange SMS messages with, but other than

It already is an Internet-only messaging platform, and its compelling edge and sole reason why people care about the blue/green bubble thing is being installed by default on iOS.

It misses a ton of functionality compared to the current .NET (Core), but it does not miss much compared to .NET Framework 4.8. The reason why source generators require it is because they may be run by Visual Studio, which is built on top o
