Flutter always feels uncanny valley to me on iOS because its re-creations of the native controls and not the real deal. Not always a big deal depending on your app design but if you want an app that looks like one Apple would make it feels off.


Expo has taken over the react-native scene - look at the libraries they use and you will find them pretty active.

The expo approach to generating the native projects is just better than the OOB react-native stuff which makes upgrades extremely tedious.


I like "Hello Chinese" but as the name suggests, it's just for Chinese :D


It just seems so incredibly unlikely to know a “handful” of people who had this unless you met them in the ER. And while I guess it’s mathematically possible, you have to know that it’s incredibly rare and essentially nobody else is in your situation.

FWIW I know one total and barely know them it’s like a friend of a friend of a friend deal.


Yeah why does this person know several dozen but I don't know of anyone? Clearly there's a major difference here.


It's a huge chunk of their "services revenue". It's their dirty little secret.


Goodbudget has quarterly / annual / goal budgets which are good for things like your travel example.


Good Budget is the one that I use after trying a TON of them in January this year. It was one of the few that really does the kinds of things I want.

Some things that I wish it had or did differently are:

- The progress bars should show the money that is scheduled to be used for a given bucket (probably in a different colour or something)

- It'd be nice to show a $/day remaining for a bucket, again taking into account the scheduled transactions too

- In the upcoming transactions, it should show all the upcoming repeats for a given transaction within the current budget period.. E.g. if I have something that is $100/week, the scheduled transactions only shows 1x $100 transaction. You can replicate what I want by creating 4 different transactions that repeat every 4 weeks, but thats silly :D

- I'd like a way to enter a transaction as a 'draft' very quickly via a home screen widget or even Siri or something. And then I could go in and edit it later to set the bucket it comes from etc.

- It has no good way to do long term savings - you can create a goal bucket for it but the bars etc for it become kind of meaningless.


No April fools day on the internet.... hopefully.


Also pedestrian crash laws and safety regulations etc. By the time you plug all those values into the computer along with the hard points of your platform/chassis you are obviously gonna end up with the same thing.


Every time I've had a client ask to use one of these services it has ended up being more work and worse UX, with more bugs on the edge cases, than just doing it yourself.

I've implemented Gigya, Janrain, Auth0, Firebase and Amazon Cognito.

The only time I've seen them make sense is internal tools. The company I work at has a policy where any enterprise tool must auth with Okta which means logging into everything is a piece of cake for employees.
