I see some interesting things here. The bundled Git tools look really clean, I like the overall UI, it seems to already have some of my most used extensions ported over... but as someone who paid for and uses Sublime Text and finds it to be

The designer David Rudnick has a term he uses for this aesthetic of modern sci-fi: "future without art"[0]. The hazy, dark, washed out palettes being used the portray the concept of "dystopian future" are truly underwhel

I think app stores across mobile OSes maintain region specific marketplaces. Developer accounts are also able to be localized. I assume it is trivial for, say, Google to block all apps from Chinese developers on the Play Store for any custo

There are a few spelling and grammatical mistakes on the page. But that's okay, you knew what they meant. "Built-in" was probably just auto-corrected anyway: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/built-in

> For example, you could make the app "free" but then unlock with in-app purchase, which would skirt the 30% fee. Lots of apps do this, and they are not exempt from the 30% fee. Basically paywalling an existing part of your app

Apple's 30% only applies to digital content that further enriches the core app experience. That's my understanding. For instance, Apple does not take 30% of all Amazon purchases through the Amazon iOS app either. Nor do they skim

To make money on a short, you aren't selling. You're the one buying back what you've already sold, just a lower price and pocketing the difference as profit. You stand out in the middle of a sell-off.
