People are poo-pooing this, but this is the type of thing that someone like an Apple will fix the rough edges on and turn into a "one in every house" type of product (e.g., Apple Floor, Apple Ground, Apple Earth). For what it is:

This is really, really good. Just earned a permanent spot on my dock in short order. One request (which I would happily pay for): make it so that you can run the code blocks and generate an output. I routinely crack open the browser console

The web is getting more powerful and eventually will negate the need for native apps as the performance will be comparable or greater. I'd view moves like this to be preemptive efforts to remain competitive in the future.

My standard for tech debt: - Unnecessary (too many or too heavy) dependencies that can be replaced by DIY code, or at least, smaller dependencies. - Implementations that stray from the standard set by the rest of the code in the project or

Not necessarily. If you're utterly careless, sure. A MongoDB migration is far less of a headache than a SQL one (you're just writing code to map/replace values). With SQL, you have to be frustratingly surgical about everythin

- Highly-flexible. Because you're not developing against a schema, you can, for example, retool a feature and its data quickly without having to stress about migrations. A big advantage for a startup looking to move fast. - Queries loo

If you're blessed enough to do it (or can sweat it out): build companies that reject that line of thinking and hire those people. The good news is that the markets are already proven, so—though, not easy—it boils down to building the s
