Who are the big names you're referring to? Many of them highly customize the look of the controls (Spotify, AirBnb, MSFT) but they are still the native controls. The back stack, physics, etc are all native.

I disagree that there should be libraries for GUI components. As soon as you try that, you end up compromising the UX with either non-native UI components, or lowest common denominator APIs that try to bridge iOS/Android. Write your mo

Do whatever it takes to get enough daily usage to see what's working and what's not working, then iterate. Trying to guess what your product needs is incredibly hard. It's much more likely to be a case of you not fully unders

Can anyone explain why mp4 parsing lib in a specific language is #1 on HN? mp4 is just the container format (not the video stream). I'm not trying to belittle, just curious if I'm missing context.

It has the same effect as the UPDATE/INSERT trigger they use as far as I'm aware, without the additional storage.

I like 11-4 as core hours. Not to early for the folks who like to sleep in, not to late for people who want to get home to their family, and there is still 5 hours of overlap for meeting.

Both NCF and JPAKE require a communication channel between devices. Neither fit the bill if the goal is user friendly, accessible from anywhere, and backup in case of loss (what they are proposing). Extreme key-stretching (w seed) mostly mi

Sightly less than market salary is a lot better than 12+ months of no salary, and putting a good chunk of your saving in to getting a company started. If you want a ton of equity, start a company, but don't expect a paycheque. If you w
