In-app payments and integration with Facebook login, Stripe, Apple subscriptions etc. It was in the first sentence ;)

I had similar issues taking over a project using an older version of React Native. Upgrading is incredibly painful since there's no stable version and libraries don't always update to match. The current release of React Native use

Yes, we regret it. Our app is just a wrapper around a webview, and handles things like in-app payments and SDK integrations like Facebook login, in a team of ~10. Our version of React Native is quite far behind which makes using libraries n

The voting and hide/comment age buttons are terrible on mobile - they're far too small and close together so it's easy to accidentally press the wrong button. Nested comments are bad on mobile too, since they end up being in

Yes. It's annoying having workarounds for basic site functionality.

This is such a strange view - you don't care about Pao's side of the story because she's not a complete paragon of virtue? You also seem to be basing that on her time at Reddit, during which, as the article mentions, she was

Those banner images are also way too big - they're 4800px x 3200px and 1.2mb, and take ages to load even on wired connections.

Yes, we probably should ensure people don't starve to death in a modern society. What's wrong with you?

I write down things I've had to look up or research while working, or little snippets which might come in handy in the future. I also find that writing a tutorial-style post helps me understand new frameworks or concepts better, since

Have you heard of keto or Atkins diets? High protein intake isn't really a problem.

It's an additional hurdle - spammers would need to invest at least $400 up-front, which would put off a good many of them.

But why does that matter? Does your Angular 1 application work? Does Angular 2 existing prevent it from working?

Would you rather have less documentation and fewer tutorials? I wouldn't call four links about a new library excessive.

That'd be really interesting, splitting social media control out of the existing silos. The problem with that seems to be that when you try to read someone's profile and they're not online, it wouldn't work - what would
