Where in the code is the eval() is performed? There is not a single call to eval() in that source. Maybe a listing of the Wi() function would be useful.

I wonder if this is something that Google and Co. will also be allowed to do?

The headline for that row implies that they're talking about one selected founder of the company.

How much does one of these plants cost? It's said that they're astronomically expensive, but I haven't seen a dollar amount for building one.

Things may not be as bad as they seem. Don't worry about the investor's money - it's called venture capital for a reason. You've probably learned a tremendous amount from the experience. Think about what the next step for you is after this

It's a way to add two-factor authentication to your website or app. Instead of having people log in with just username and password, they'll also have to enter a code. They get the code from the Authy app on their phone. (PS I'm not affilia

Yes you can, but that opens a different app and takes you away from Safari and its browsing history.

Thanks for seeing the value in my (somewhat avantgarde) argument. I'd be happy with the app availability indicator as well. The native app would still remain within the confines of the browser, so that you could easily navigate away. People

Most publishers that have terrible apps also have terrible sites. Apps that get very little usage today are hardly going to get better if users don't start using them. Building an easier onramp for apps is going to increase app usage and ca

Both iOS and Android allow apps interacting with each other. iOS has URL schemes, Android has Intents which are obviously far more elegant. There are tricks you can play to have apps intercept web page visits on Android [1], but other than

Allowing apps to access browser cookies is a solution to the problem that apps and websites are disconnected and don't know about each other's state. That's a different aspect than the one you're talking about. Yes, you can build responsive

Running a compiled app instead of a web page, as laid out in the post, would have that benefit. The central theme of the post is that the local app and the webpage are disconnected - the fact that you can't pick up where you left off in the

Is there enough demand for office space in Changsa to support this structure?

I'm not sure what you're getting at. Of course your app should be useful, but my point in the post is that that's not enough - you have to think a priori about how to make the app spread.

by gaborcselle 14y ago
That's not something you can do on the App Store, but on Google Play this is quite possible.

You bring up a good point: Do ads work to get user adoption? I'm not sure - I certainly haven't heard of an app that used ads for more than just jumpstarting the viral loop. Are there examples of apps that have gotten adoption through ads?

People that don't have DrawChat yet get invited with an SMS that contains a link to a page on our server. That page redirects you to the App Store. So we know how many people see our App Store listing. On the other side, Apple provides you
