Honestly, this just feels like marketing bull. What conversion effects are realistic to expect after implementing any of these? My experience after trying a couple is zero change in conversion and zero change in any customer satisfaction me

Could you please consider adding an RSS feed for the recent jobs? It's really popular for job seekers for staying updated on the various search sites. I'd love to add this site to our guide that we'll be expanding with genera

Our service (feeder.co) got banned in China last week. We didn’t make the connection regarding the timing immediately, but it makes sense that they are on the offensive with regards to restricting the free flow of information. As another sl

We’re working full time on https://feeder.co and growing MRR every month. Does the average consumer know what RSS is? No. Will it become the next Twitter anytime soon? Probably not. Is there a need for managing news outside of y

Sorry if I wasn't being clear. We have an iOS app and my plan was to try out migrating an existing Viewcontroller to SwiftUI (the login screen).

I'm not a die-hard follower of Apple developer news, but it being released in June 2019 made it feel at least somewhat mature to try out. There's nothing AFAICS on the SwiftUI documention mentioning that it's not quite produc

Sorry if it wasn't clear enough. I'm by no means a React-developer with lots of React experience. I'd say I have more iOS-development experience than React. The app I wanted to port is already fully written in Swift. I'v

I was really excited about SwiftUI after having done a lot of React development recently. The declarative style is so much nicer than the MVC/procedural code that regular UIKit code becomes. After 30 minutes of updating Xcode I was abl

I’m pretty sure we are talking about different things. The marketing I’m talking about is in the context of sole developers or small developer only teams where the goal is to launch a successful product. Be it on a hobby scale or the start

As developers we often assume ”build it and they will come”. Or that marketing or sales is something that is bolted on afterwards. What we forget is that marketing is a full time job that requires a full set of skills, experience and intuit

We just switched to DO thanks to their Hatch program. The support they have shown and the energy we’ve been getting from the people at DO has been next-to-none. Obviously it’s concerning to see people being laid off, and my thoughts and con

This has been happening in Chrome extensions for years now. I’ve tried reporting it so many times. In our case it happens randomly so it’s impossible to reproduce, which inevitably leads to ”issue closed - couldn’t reproduce”.

So 7 million users equals a revenue of $250 million. Meaning 1 user is worth $35 on an annual basis. That’s insane! No wonder Google is so huge.

That wording kinda ticked me off because our volume was completely inaccessible. Rebooting did not mount it at all.

I just want to say that I’m glad consequences are coming to people who behave badly. We can’t as a community or profession let these people dictate the tone for the rest of us.
