You can definitely avoid Xcode, what are you talking about?

How is doing it via agent not circumventing it?

They’re not confusing anything, you’re just sticking your head in the sand.

The modern entry path to “computing” is small screen devices (phones). Their point of newcomers not having our same entry path is accurate. This is organic, however much we don’t like it.

Anything past that is just market skating where the puck is.

That is not even remotely the point OP is arguing.

I am once again stating react-native-windows, the key part being native. It doesn't have anything to do with Electron.

A significant amount of apps can get the 10% rule rather than 30%.

It doesn’t necessarily change the point in the end but it is worth noting.

If you want JS, isn’t react-native-windows an option?

It's not "there is no alternative", it's "you're not putting that tiger back in the cage no matter how much you bitch about it".

As in rymc.io, or the index of photos.rymc.io?

I have it earmarked to get around to a generic OG preview for the root of photos.rymc.io, it's just a time issue - been pretty busy lately with racing.

The ask is fair but the distinction regarding one or two companies total being the arbiter of this is the issue.

I run something similar, ish: https://photos.rymc.io/

I still have an account or two elsewhere, but all photos get posted here then linked there with decent open graph previews.

This forum was never dedicated to the hacker lifestyle, it has always been run by profit seeking investor classes.

It’s their problem until it’s the world’s problem. Kids grow up and carry the things that mess them up.

Do you think this has not been attempted already…?

They didn't ask you for alternatives, they asked you how well Illustrator works.

There are definitely companies in Japan that have people who will talk like this.

Hell, I’ve advised some of them.
