What is the difference between a regular app and a web app? Does iOS have WebApps or is just an Android thing?

    Web apps allow for greater cross system support since they can be utilized on any system that has a browser and access to the internet. Another benefit is that none of the code is hosted on your local system (except the client side which is served to you in the browser). Web apps don’t necessarily lose any functionality, it just depends on the goal of the application. Web apps still have server side (remote) applications that serve the web app to your browser and which can perform the lower level functionality on the host system.

    Yeah I think all the big players have been working on this, IBM, Cisco, Intel. Will be interesting to see if this kicks off the release of additional public information as you mention.

    The community sizes here at the current time definitely allow for more user to user interaction. It’s much harder for your voice to get lost in an overwhelming sea of useless comments as it tends to in the larger Reddit subs.

    I’m not a twitter user but my understanding is that any replies to a tweet also apply towards the limit. So scrolling a popular tweet with hundreds of replies could drain your entire tweet limit in a matter of minutes.

    I will never again accept a job that isn’t 100% remote. My main gig has about 50 devs, we all used to commute to the office everyday in a high COL city. My commute would sometimes take 90 minutes each way, and I only lived around 15 miles away. We’ve been 100% remote since March 2020 and our overall productivity has gone up by 20%, which isn’t surprising considering the commute alone sucked the life out of all of us.
