Funny thing, I update one of my first iOS apps from time to time and I still see the quality and more important consistency of the code I wrote. It's a breeze to maintain.

I have the same question. If it doesn't work on iOS it's not a cross platform stack. iOS is the third most popular operating system in the world after Android and Windows.

Ray Wenderlich has a nice basic tutorial around creating a simple menu bar application. I just used it for my own application and it seems well up-to-date. I thought it was this one: https://www.raywenderlich.com/450-menus-a

I discovered I could charge two MacBooks on one charger by daisy chaining them, for some reason I didn't expect that to work. The second laptop didn't charge very fast if at all, but you can keep working while you left your charge

From what I read about it it’s more like syntactic sugar, not something alike the .Net core libraries. Get your JS Core libraries once from a repo, reuse them in every application that uses the same ones
