   I would really love if MS brought out some kind of .net core electron alternative. Xaml is nice enough to build UI with, .net core works across macOS and Linux, and the whole package wouldn't need an entire copy of chromium for each in

   I'm missing something. How is this different to react native, which is already supported on ios, android, web and UWP?

   Can someone explain this to me? I've been fascinated by fighter planes since I was a kid and never understood the designations. Why do the F104 and F117 come before the F35?

    It depends on a lot things: What platform do you want to target? What languages do you know already. Are you building this IM app as a learning experience? Or are you hoping to compete against the likes of Facebook, Whatsapp, Telegram, Sign

    Ditto. I have two dead macbook pros with good screens / keyboards. The mobos are dead and nobody will buy them from me. This seems like a possible future project. I make writing software and I've always wanted to make a cut down L

    There are a lot of these sites already, but I like the layout you've gone for. You really need to add more books though. I count only 11 (!) Trying to decided the greatest books of all time is obviously divisive, but there's a pre

    I see this argument against electron again and again. Sure, sometimes its overkill - I've seen tray notification apps built with it - but sometimes, it's not. Sure it's not as efficient as something written in .Net, but its a

    I just checked on Windows 10, an empty instance of VS Code with a blinking cursor uses 0% most of the time. Is this a MacOS only issue? Does it affect Atom?

    It feels bloated in size, features and UI. Uses a big ribbon UI like office used to. Too much screen taken up by toolbars, status bars etc. Most recommendations you get for PDF viewers are for Foxit, Adobe, Sumatra or. CutePDF. I don't

    > On a side note, have you had your drafts proof read by anyone? Getting feedback on your writing can help you get to the next draft. Keep doing this process until you publish. I've had them read by friends, but not professionally.
