All their announcements read like fees will be automatically reduced to 15% for the first 1M$, and even the linked article implies that: Starting July 1, 2021, the service fee for each developer will be 15% for the first $1M (USD) of earni

There have been significant efforts to reduce this kind of fragmentation and to outline which XEPs a client or server developer should focus on, given a certain target application. We are reviewing the most important specifications on a yea

Open Source and centralized are orthogonal to each other. Signal is both, just to name an example. An open push framework only makes sense (for battery optimization at least) if it's centralized, and all applications make use of it.

Many intermediate systems such as proxies, load balancers, caches, and firewalls, however, do only support GET and POST. This means that HTTP requests with DELETE and PUT are simply blocked. To circumvent this restriction many REST-based A

So this obviously doesn't solve the initial-connection issue (where it relies on untrusted DNS for discovery... if only we had DNSSEC). But for later connections, it is essentially defining a caching of: - a boolean flag that a trusted

You can tap on the title of the widget to get into the month / year selection. It doesn't exactly help discoverability that it looks like a title and not like a button.
