App stores on the desktop are nowhere as close to their mobile counterparts. Web versions of mobile apps exist, but people always choose to go with the native versions. While on desktops, the opposite is true. I've always wondered why

The only thing stopping SQLite from becoming the primary application file format is browsers. Every single other client supports SQLite. Embedded, Mobile, Lightroom, Desktop Apps and Cross platform mobile frameworks have really good support

I love how people like to make browser versions of everything. From chat apps to email clients to games. But they all end up consuming 10x the memory but are still 10x slower than their native counterparts !

Personally I prefer written content because I can pace it myself. I can skim past stuff that I already know, jump to a different section quickly, and reread complex content. You can play a video at 1.25x or 1.5x but sometimes that can be ha

I agree that it works just like any other emulator, but the competition offers simulators which take up far less resources. Google did start work on a simulator which went by the name of 'Arc Welder' and while it seemed promising

Compared to Windows, iPhone, and Android. Android has the worst tooling environment of them all. You would expect a big software company like Google to know better, but you'd be mistaken. All others provide you a native simulator that

It doesn't have to be Windows or Linux, it can be Windows and Linux. I just use Arch Linux on my Windows machine using WSL 2. Arch is my favourite linux distro with a really brilliant package manager and because of it being bleeding ed

It's only true if a handful of apps do it, but if everyone starts to do it then you end up with a scenario where RAM isn't enough for every application. And also from an end user perspective, not everyone has a powerful dev machin

Not to mention how native client-side apps consume far less memory and CPU than their web/electron counterparts. I miss those days when I would have a bunch of native apps constantly running and minimized. These days it's consider

The biggest problem with Slack for me is how slow it is. I have been using chat apps for a couple of decades now, starting from mIRC to IM chat applications. And slack is by far the slowest chat product that I have ever used. Takes a few se
