If Facebook or Google are seriously hobbled through regulation I expect their place will be taken by companies like Bytedance (TikTok) which is already the most downloaded app in the US. TikTok is actually just a loss-leading tool for Byted

I'm pretty sure that Facebook won't do anything until they finish integrating the Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp backends so that any future antitrust action won't be able to split up the company. They just need to pos

Could you talk about why you decided to go native iOS and not use something like Flutter to allow you to go to both platforms from one codebase? I'm currently trying to figure out what to do for this idea I have for an app. One the one

If that were true wouldn't we be seeing a big increase in Dart adoption because of Flutter as well? I'm not seeing it.

What is a full time parent? I remember as a kid that I was always encouraging my mom to take up hobbies so that she's leave me alone so I could get on with my own stuff. I can't imagine putting all your identity into being a paren

I guess the point would be that they've already made that investment by building their various platforms.

It was definitely popular. It used to be the go to solution on r/AndroidDev for people wanting a simple backend solution without having much experience. Everyone switched to Google Firebase after Facebook shut it down.

Pretty happy with Goodreads except that the search functionality sucks. Would like something like this: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/ Where I can search for a novel in a certain genre from a certain publicati

I can literally store thousands of books on my Kindle so storage is fine. The battery lasts weeks without recharging. E ink screen is just way better for reading books. Who cares about swiping I just want to turn the page.

If you'd have told me in 2010 that this would be the state of the art of the web in 2020, I'd have been sorely disappointed...

I keep hearing this, but why though? If cases start rising again after the end of a quarantine, I'm sure that there will be support in the community to go back in quarantine if it will save lives.

Yeah but it does mean that older devices become useless. For example, I have an iPhone 6 that I let my kid use, and he won't be able to run any of these new apps. I also have an older Ipod touch, I was trying to find an audiobook playe

Google Photos is pretty great though. My use case for it is that even though it's private, I assume that any photo on there could become public.

So what's the remedy, separate companies for Search, Ads, Youtube, Cloud/Firebase, GSuite, Android/Chrome, Pixel, Maps?

I have a pro-Google stance, but I usually wouldn't talk about it on HN because people just love to assume the worst about Google and anyone defending them just gets attacked. Personally, I think that Google's pushing websites to u

Flutter is an open-source framework that targets Android, iOS, Web & Desktop. That's rather different to something that just targets Chrome. The developer experience is amazing. Personally I'm using it and not too worried abou

Yeah the problem was entirely with Obama and the city officials, never mind the fact that Governor Rick Snyder had put the city under emergency management with his appointees deciding everything.

I could see a revival of video game arcades based around VR, but again the social barriers to communication pose problems here too.
