In general I would agree, but this project managed to avoid the main gotcha of AngularJS (the performance issues & the possibly messy data-flow), so it was holding out suprisingly strong, even pas the maintenance date of AngularJS. The

This. In one of my previous job, the main product was 100% pure Javascript (using AngularJS), with a few (vendored) third-party scripts, and it was very nice to work on it. No package.json, no dependency issues, and above else, the workload

by mablopoule 2y ago
But it's a camera app. Of course it needs the camera. It's not overreaching app permission, it's been rejected because the text "The camera will be used to take photographs" wasn't considered a good enough expl

Same. I felt that the article generally got his point across, and kept a good balance between "straight to the point" and flavor text. And while I don't want profanity present in all the articles I want to read, I find this
