You need two things: skill and accreditation. You can gain skill by studying or doing code camps, going to college, etc. The easiest way to gain accreditation is to follow what similar people did. If you go to a reputable college, your CV w

Observideo [1]. Initially a web app that links to dropbox to facilitate my wife's student's research on behaviour by tagging video segments. Now it's a half baked electron app. Initially made for her research projects, most s

The article mentioned faster, not cheaper. A performance-per-dollar and per watt is certainly valuable, but for a forum that always mentions that a couple hundred bucks are worth spending for shaving off time from a developer workflow (SSDs

I would never use a real credit card for in app purchases. Call me paranoid, I always use generated cards by my bank service with a fixed amount. It's annoying but I never have surprises.

We have the McVeggie over here (Portugal) which are meh, but I recently discovered Linda McCartney's veggie burgers and I have fooled a couple of people thinking it was meat. They are very very good IMHO.

I ran the samples, the app runs lighter than electron but doesn't feel very native - probably would require a fair amount of styling. I have 200% scaling which worked fine, although I'm guessing some icons should have 2x res to ma

My guess would be that your webapp is serving images in a blocking fashion, meaning every time a use requests an image it will fetch the image for the user AND block the http serving thread until the image is uploaded. Can you provide more
