Shipping via regular post from AliExpress is often free or very cheap while the same items on Amazon cost 3-5 times more and shipping to my country is $10-15. The downside is 1-2 months waiting times vs. a week from Amazon but I can wait.

You are building a Zynga-like company and writing vague comments instead of direct answers here. Why do you expect positive replies?

Xamarin and C# are great, I will use them for the next desktop + mobile project. I was looking at this option for a long time and the acquisition by Microsoft added enough confidence in the future of the stack.

But we are talking about Slack and they can get this talent. New Skype for macOS is also made with Electron despite Microsoft having a ton of resources and even the old native Skype client for Mac (v7.x and earlier). Meanwhile, Doist is a s

Why use web at all? IRC clients have been made with native UIs since the 90s.

Replayability and long playing times are praised in reviews by both press and gamers. So Minecraft isn't considered an addictive game but it is.
