You could design a SQL database to be denormalized from the start, but then you are losing many of the advantages of a SQL database. I never said that schemas aren't necessary, just that using a strict NoSQL database forces you to thin

Having migrated a postgres database to dynamodb, I would say that I'm never going to use postgres again. The problem with all SQL databases is that they are too easy to query and use. You add all kinds of select queries, joins and fore

IRC is very different from teams. IRC is a public server and each channel could have 100s of members which leads to an unmanageable firehose. Are you sure the same problem is also applicable to teams which are going to be much smaller than

Xamarin Forms is another brilliant option. Out of the box it can target Android, iOS and Windows. If you use catalyst then the iOS app can be ported to MacOS. C# is a nice language to use too.

It is really hard to beat apple and Google due to their app stores. Windows phone wasn't bad but it lost the market badly because of lack of apps. Any new phone OS is going to lack the apps which people are used to and won't sell.
