Every B2B client who asked us how we handle multi-tenancy also asked how we ensure their data is erased at the end of the contract. Using a shared database with RLS means you have to go through all DB backups, delete individual rows for tha

No, this SLA is a legal commitment to give you credits when Service uptime falls below a certain threshold. The threshold could be anything - 99%, 50%, 100%, etc. Importantly, Cloudflare is not under a legal obligation to provide the Servic

Yes, and the difference is the maturity of the engine. For example, to execute JS files Sciter uses QuickJS which runs ~20-30x slower than V8 JIT [1] and has no support for Intl [2]. Sciter's spin on HTML/CSS is also different [3]

Note, Sciter does not embed a browser engine but reimplements the DOM/CSS/JS (via QuickJS) logic in C++ which means many familiar web patterns will work, many will not, and many might behave differently. Unlike Electron, Sciter

I got mine from Levels. They use the same sensor as mentioned in the article, and wrap it with their own app. Very easy to deal with. They are trying to limit demand so you need an invite code, but you can find one on Google in 5 minutes. [

Even for 100% FE solutions, the current best practice from OAuth authors [1][2] is to use authorization code + PKCE (optionally, +dPoP). The implicit flow is deprecated (since PKCE), and from OAuth 2.1 it will be removed entirely. [1] http
