There is a definite market, but like gym memberships it is likely to contract during downturns. The folks I know with Pelotons are cycle infrequently and have a more general regime. As a cyclist I'd be interested to know how many get a

I think Apple are trying to make the point that they have invested again in this space, so they hope that software developers will also invest. The expectation might not be for an immediate switch from software developers, but laying the gr

That's an interesting point which is probably something the manufacturer can accommodate to some degree with their configurations. Generally my experience is that US carriers will select the cheapest and densest configurations, especia

I can understand your points, but they seem a little odd in the context of where the A220 or E190/195 might be used. You won't find 787 or A380 aircraft flying most of the routes where these smaller aircraft will fly. On many of t

I like your approach. I'll play around more with your app. Thinking about the LR catalogs, I wonder how much is tied up there versus being written back to image metadata. It's probably better to see what data is there and recommen

Will you have support for handling duplicate images? People are either super organised, or the complete opposite. When you have multiple copies for backup and then want to consolidate to a library you want to hide your messiness. I've
