Seems interesting, thx for sharing! 1. What kind of projects can you generate using Defang? What languages are 2. What if my project needs a database or queues - can I deploy that using Defang?

I believe this article @ web.dev is an example of building an unfair advantage for the largest player in image CDN market. This seems unfair because there are many alternatives with their pros and cons, they should be listed there as well.

Google, is Cloudinary is the only image CDN? Seems unfair(web.dev)

I think it should become one of the main Government responsibilities – to deal with corporations on behalf of people. Otherwise we'll find ourselves in Blade Runner / Cyberpunk-like corp-run world situation quite soon.

No, why? RIDERS provides tutorials and tips for action sports. I think you've mixed up us with some other app with a similar name.

The problem is, Google hasn't disclosed their side of story: there's no official reason given. That's the problem: their algorithms did something and that's it. I tried to provide as much data points as I could and answe

I have high hope and a lot of persistence but I hear you. All of my friends told me that Canadian bureaucracy is super slow. So I came prepared.

asats, I wish for more people to understand that there are shades between black and white, who're looking to hear arguments before making quick decisions. But it doesn't seem their percentage is much different in other communities

The issue is not a result of sanctions: it has started much earlier. Thank you for bringing this as a potential reason and I think I understand why you're trying to kind of activate people who're not standing against the regime an

This previous bank account was also in the US: Bank of America. And then, the issue lasts for 2 months+.

This requires getting another citizenship and it takes time. I'm waiting.

No I don't pay tax to Russia, I happily stopped when I moved to Canada.

How's so? The problem lasts from 2 months ago. The original issue couldn't be about any ties with Russia. I'll still try to do that ^ but not sure if this could help.

by igordebatur 5y ago
Nope: I'm not a resident of Russia, neither other shareholders. This is not the case. And the problem is ongoing for 2 months+. I understand the willingness to bring this, but currently this is not the case.

Yes, we've transferred the ownership and it's obvious in the Google Play's dashboard, I triple checked. All the IP's belong to Riders App Inc, the domain etc. The company is properly structured.

Couldn't agree more. On the contrary, in this case Apple's approach was the most humane: they answered within a day and helped to change the bank details. The first payment went through. I'm not advocating for Apple, but at l

I want to, but I'll need to 'Google' how it's done first. I never thought I'll need to lawyer up against Google. Shit.

This. It would be against the rules to use any other payment methods.

The problem is, at least a half of the audience is not tech-savvy, plus Google Play is a part of monopoly: it brings extra traffic. If the app is not on google play, it can't compete with others

But in our case it looks like they're not willing to solve the issue at all. They will surely help someone who pays them millions in commissions, but they're not interested even to talk to smaller fish.

The app was published many years ago by Whitescape, the agency we owned at that point. I was born in Russia 35+ years ago. But now I'm the resident of Canada. Google has never asked me about this. But even that must not be the case: si

I thought I'll be the last to move from Google because I'm alright with them using all my private data. But now I'm line to find an alternative: they've just locked our payment profile for an app with 25k+ positive ratin

I read an another thread where there were questions about legitimacy of the app. And here we are: we have 25k+ positive ratings, the app is unique, it provides value for tens of thousands of active users. The full disclosure is: we've
