I honestly couldn't come up with a less compelling set of paid features if I tried. I would love to see things like no ads/promoted tweets, premium API access for third-party devs, live timeline streaming (more like what Tweetdeck

Honestly I think you'd be surprised just how far the managed workflow can get you these days. That being said, Expo is aware of the limitations and is actively working on addressing those.[1] [1] https://docs.expo.io/in

With the EAS Build system, it's no longer a concern. Available to paying customers at the moment.

If at all possible, I can't recommend Expo enough. I hated building RN apps prior to it, and now I hate building apps without it.

I'm a fan of Shelljs. I used it to translate shell scripts to run on any platform that supports Node[1]. I particularly like how the translated version is essentially a more readable version of the original shell script[2]. [1] https:

I'm really glad these don't come with a USB C port, otherwise I'd be really tempted to purchase one. There's something oddly calming about doing complex calculations on a calculator versus on a computer. I find myself re

This feature is built upon user-specific URLs, and Zelle unfortunately doesn't have a public URL system. In fact, you can only access the Zelle network within the site/app for your bank.

As far as I can tell, Twitter uses system fonts exclusively. Opening Twitter in devtools and looking at the "Font" filter in network shows no downloaded web fonts.

Totally fair point! But I'd also like to point out that prior to World of Warcraft, Blizzard hadn't released an MMORPG. Prior to Overwatch, Blizzard hadn't released a first-person shooter. I totally understand your point that

I've been an off-and-on World of Warcraft player since the Burning Crusade days, and I honestly think that Blizzard is struggling to evolve the MMORPG genre into something suitable for the modern day. There was a great article in Kotak

Well, for one, Volta supports Windows! That's a huge differentiator in my book (though as a Windows user I guess I'm biased?).

Two things: 1. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, about half of people making minimum wage or less are older than 25 years old. 2. A single person working a full-time job (32 hours) at minimum wage makes $12,064. The US federal

Another happy LG OLED and Shield owner here! I use the Shield when playing more difficult-to-play media from Plex (stuff like high-bitrate HDR content with lossless audio), and the built-in apps on the TV the rest of the time. Heck, even Ap

It's nice to see that it's possible to build a hardware device that can play songs from Spotify, but my ideal device would be something with a screen and browsing/ad-hoc music selection, more akin to the iPod nano than the iP
