I don't see how this is related to an error code. Most of the time, if you get a non-200, the website is broken in some way and it's not your problem to fix. If it is (because you develop an extension, for example), it's easy

It still works, in my experience. Also, stripping out the plus is risky for sites, as it might actually be a part of the address, especially if it's not @gmail.com. You can get a tad fancier and automatically mark mails without + as sp

Having charges dripping in by letting you pay for every little extra is a good way to extract money from people, but makes it easy for them to feel ripped of. Paying 150€ for a ticket with 50€ upfront and the rest done through fees will pro

You can easily package your webapp with an integrated server or electron, if you don't want to provide a server. Or simply put it on the source code platform of your choice and let users figure out hosting on their own. Plus, you get a

I actually like that. It's quite often that I stumble upon an older Reddit thread when searching something specific and the (presumably) valuable comments are just [deleted]. True, people might want to erase some things they said, but

You only need one (possibly long) cable to connect your workspace to your PC. This might be useful in cases where the PC is in a different room/far away (when using an optical USB C cable this allows distances of at least 50m), when yo
