This is a joke, everyone made fun of FB paying 1 BILLION dollars for Instagram, they didn't even have an android app at the time.

Great idea and execution. I understand the privacy concerns, but I believe implementing a client-side redaction step could alleviate some of them. This step would allow users to preview their uploaded content before submitting it. While designing this feature, it’s crucial to ensure user trust and convince them of its benefits. Personally, I would feel more comfortable uploading a PDF knowing that it will be anonymized or redacted before being submitted.

curious, is this made with react native?

congrats on launching, what's the landscape now and who are your competitors? it could be nice if you had a comparison page as a way to sell it further.

this can't be true, how would you pass background checks?

might not be a fair comparison if you consider taxes on salary+rsu vs. being taxed on capital gains.

You underestimate all the levers they can pull and have not yet explored to obtain revenue. Their financing strategy (Apple Card) has made it easier than ever to purchase thousand $ computers for a low monthly fee, interest free. They’re playing chess here.

Dig a little deeper in the thread. I don't think this is accurate.

Ah cool, didn't know that.

It's worth mentioning SwiftUI goes beyond the Landmarks app example, and bridges into complex custom UIs as well including shapes and core graphics. This isn't supported well (yet) in react native (and not sure about Flutter).

Not really if the intermediary (the developer) also has control/access.

The NYTimes and their "journalists" are quickly becoming an embarrassment. Such a biased article that presents a one-sided story.

It's no wonder trust in the media continues to wane.

One of my favorite mac/ios apps right now is the RSS reader "News Explorer" by Betamagic. It has replaced Reeder+Feedly for me and everything just syncs to iCloud. Highly recommend checking it out: https://betamagic.nl/products/newsexplorer.html
