[windblumewishes]

Hi, I don’t mean to come across as rude, more a genuine question. I’m very sorry if the wording is off here. But why are people so staunchly against posting the animations and stuff? I’ve just seen posts from other side too and I’m a bit stuck in the middle since I see their points.

I get there was a message saying not to, but it’s not a spoiling any content that hasn’t already been in the game for a long time and it’s not like twst is an indie game

Hello, Dearie!

While TWST isn’t an indie game that has heavy restrictions for players like not being able to post the story itself or even share game art it is still a game that has rules and regulations that the devs have set for the players to follow.

I understand why you would feel like this is strange as they have talked about overblots in the story many times but please understand that this is mainly something that they have never done before and is basically like an experiment of sorts with the fanbase. The reception has been astronomically positive for this update to the story and while the vast majority is respecting the developer’s wishes to keep this content off public platforms until a specified date it goes without saying that this experiment of sorts may very well determine whether or not we get more animation sequences in the story or events in the future.

If players actively break the rules and ignore warnings the developers will eventually notice and make the decision to cancel any future projects of animation sequences in the game’s future development. All because people thought it would be funny to ruin the experience for everyone.

This also serves as a chance for players to go and see the scenes themselves without the aid of others to scrape it from the story and distribute the content. If you want to experience the game yourself I will provide a detailed guide as to how:

iOS Devices:

For iOS devices you will need to do one of two things. You will need either a new Apple ID account specifically set for Japan or to switch your country/region inside the physical App Store itself.

Switch your existing Apple ID:

Open the Settings app on your iOS device.

Tap on your name, then tap "Media & Purchases".

Tap "View Account" and sign in if prompted.

Tap "Country/Region" and select Japan.

Review the terms and conditions and tap "Agree".

You'll need to enter a valid Japanese payment method and billing address, or select "None" if downloading free apps.

New Apple ID

Go to Apple and create new account.

Select “Japan” for country/region.

Enter your regular phone number for the required number. Does not matter if the phone number is for the US, any number works.

Enter in all necessary information and check to see if you missed anything for identification.

When it comes to enter your “address” simply make one up! Many of us use a hotel address and it works.

WRITE DOWN ALL LOG IN INFORMATION SO YOU NEVER FORGET IT!!

For Google Devices:

Go to QooApp and look for Twisted Wonderland, specifically JP TWST and play from there.

I genuinely hope you realize the fandom is not trying to be a bunch of gatekeepers and bullies saying “don’t post” because the devs asked us not to post. They never ask anything of us unless absolutely necessary, this is one of those extremely rare cases where the devs and Yana have stepped up to say no posting- that is HUGE. This isn’t a case of “well the story is nothing new, why can’t we share because it’s the same old thing?” it’s something big and the devs are giving you a chance to try it out by downloading and playing it through.

Also, even if you have to wait until August 1st it’s not the end of the world here, you can wait. If you had to wait to play the Diasomnia Chapter on EN you can wait for the animations. Truly, it’s not that difficult to follow the rules and do as the devs ask of us.

I’m in trouble.

Like, seriously, I was up until morning last night partially because of this game.

@stonestoryrpg

I just… I can’t.

This is gorgeous.

The amount of detail in the animation is just…. 😭😭

The way the story and the experience evolves, always challenging the player, offering new variables to consider.

Up until - it literally lets you program your idle AI.

Which is the “stay up all night” bit, I haven’t programmed in anything but HTML and associated since high school (20+ years now…) but it’s all coming back to me.

Oh, and here’s your character…

(image cropped because of hud spoilers from leveling)

I repeat - the animation in this game is gorgeous!!!

For example, the reveal of the second boss is just….

My only description right now is:

Edit: The Discord helped me!!!!! Ah, this feels so good!!!!!

My one, one issue right now is all I have access to is my phone, and not being able to copy-paste in the iOS scripting interface is killing me with order of operations being so impossibly vital….

Do not misunderstand me, Dev, I am persevering as best I can…

And reading how versatile the import script system is for non-mobile devices, I know it’s something you recognize and will address to the absolute best of abilities!!

But getting the Skeleton Arm quest finished without breaking everything else I had worked out took a bit.

Dev Log May 30 - It's baaaaack (the WebKit issues, that is)

Last week we released the Sweet Bee update for Crescent Roll, which had some substantial changes both in terms of content and some of the inner organization. It was supposed to be a little bit bigger than it ended up being, but we decided to split up the changes into a couple of chunks to give it more polish and not have to re-do things for the public API release. (Which the PM in me wants to apologize to somebody for the delay, but I was the only one who set the time table anyway, so we'll have to work on breaking that "everything has to be done Yesterday" mentality.) As a quick recap - Crescent Roll is written in Javascript, which means it runs in a web browser. For Windows, Android, iOS, and practically every other platform, you can write your program to hook in to the OS native one and not have to install anything. For Linux (which Steam OS is a fork of), there is no native browser. Valve technically _did_ include Chromium as their front-end for their store, but they embedded it directly into their application and as such nobody else can reach it. Which is bad news, as if you want to embed it yourself, that's an extra 1GB of space. Which is bad for our 30MB game. So, in order to keep install size lower, we ended up opting for using WebKit instead. WebKit is what Safari is based on, just like how Chrome and Edge are based on Chromium. Fortunately, it's a lot smaller at around 200MB, which is technically still more than 5x bigger than the application, but it's better than the 30x. This, however, is proving to be a rather bad move. The Steam Deck uses a container system that runs self-contained little mini operating system runtimes that can just be stuck on pretty much any flavor of Linux with minimal compatibility issues. The unfortunate part for us is that it is Debian 11-based. Which is only 4 years old at the time of writing, but gcc and clang (C compilers) already dropped support for it, and thus WebKit also dropped support for _right_ before they did a major overhaul to a lot of important internal systems that fixed a lot of performance problems. When testing the newest update, apparently some of the libraries that were being provided by the OS received updates that have severely interfered with the game's performance. The startup now takes about 5-10 seconds on a black screen before anything shows up. Shutdown will keep playing the music and also requires you to press B to close for some unknown reason. The Main Menu had also dropped to 45FPS out of nowhere, and something with the audio playback got completely screwed over where it suddenly decides to stop playing music, and then every single sound that was attempted in rapid succession at faster speeds a few seconds later (In what world is that ever the expected behavior?! Just don't play it if it can't. This one is just stupid.) Fortunately, none of the issues actually affect gameplay all that much. Most levels still ran at 60FPS, and even when they dipped, we built the system specifically to support variable framerates, so the game speed is still exactly the same with no lag. The update was still published, as the issue was apparently caused by the OS changes and not our changes, so even old versions are still affected. As a result though, much of this week's work went in to optimizing the graphics system even more and attempting to play around whatever the heck is going on with that audio playback. We were able to hit 60FPS again, but at the time of writing, are still having the audio thing happen occasionally. So, what now? I think I've officially given up on WebKit. We're squeezing blood of out a stone at this point in terms of optimizations I can make to the game itself. It seems kind of silly that Windows is able to pull off 4k at 120Hz on 15-year old hardware, but the trimmed-down Linux port can't even handle sub-1080p at 60Hz. I've had an idea to try and use the Windows version of CEF specifically for the Steam Deck, which will keep it around 300MB and maybe solve some of our issues. It's going to take a bit, so fingers crossed.

Debugging Mobile Apps Like a Pro: Tools to Use in 2025

If you're building mobile apps in 2025, mastering mobile app debugging tools isn't optional; it's critical. Whether you're shipping your MVP or maintaining a production app, efficient debugging saves time, money, and user trust. 

In this guide, we'll break down everything you need to know about debugging like a pro: what tools to use, when to use them, and how they fit into a winning mobile development workflow.

Why Debugging Mobile Apps Matters More Than Ever

Let's be honest: users are impatient.

According to a study by Dimensional Research, 53% of users will uninstall an app that crashes or freezes. Worse, bad reviews from bugs can destroy your app's reputation. Debugging isn't just about fixing problems, it's about preventing user churn, ensuring stability, and delivering seamless UX.

Understanding the fundamentals of mobile app development is key to building applications that avoid these pitfalls from the start.

Here's What Effective Debugging Delivers:

Faster bug resolution and fewer production incidents

Better app ratings on Google Play and the App Store

Increased development velocity and team confidence

Fewer support tickets and complaints

Now let's look at the real tools that professional developers use to debug mobile apps in 2025.

1. Flipper - The Developer's Swiss Army Knife

Flipper has become the go-to debugging platform for mobile apps, especially those built with React Native. It supports both Android and iOS and comes with an ecosystem of plugins.

Key Features:

Inspect network requests in real time

Analyze Redux or MobX state

View layout hierarchy and performance

Use custom plugins for deeper insights

Why It Works: Flipper integrates smoothly into React Native environments. With plugins like react-devtools, redux-debugger, and network inspector, you can visualize exactly what's happening inside your app.

"If you're not using Flipper for React Native debugging in 2025, you're flying blind."

2. Android Studio Profiler - Deep Dive into Android Performance

If you're debugging Android apps natively, Android Studio Profiler is your best friend.

What It Does:

Tracks CPU, memory, and network usage

Identifies memory leaks and thread issues

Records method traces for lag analysis

Pro Tip: Combine this with Logcat to monitor error logs in real time. You can also use systrace to inspect low-level device behavior.

Real Impact:

Apps optimized with Android Studio Profiler report up to 22% better battery performance and 17% fewer ANRs (Application Not Responding errors).

3. Xcode Instruments - iOS Debugging Done Right

iOS developers swear by Xcode Instruments. It's part of Apple's development toolkit and offers powerful tracing capabilities.

Best Use Cases:

Detecting memory leaks using the Leaks tool

Finding slow UI threads with Time Profiler

Analyzing network calls using the Network tool

Expert Move: Use Instruments during testing phases, not just after release. That way, you catch performance issues early.

4. Firebase Crashlytics - Real-Time Crash Reporting

Firebase Crashlytics is a lightweight, real-time crash reporter from Google. It's perfect for identifying and prioritizing stability issues.

What You Get:

Real-time alerts for new crashes

Stack traces with contextual logs

User impact insights (how many users are affected)

Why Teams Love It: It integrates with Jira, Slack, and your CI/CD pipeline for immediate visibility.

70% of top 1000 apps on Google Play use Crashlytics to monitor production health.

5. Sentry - End-to-End Error Monitoring

Sentry goes beyond crash reporting. It helps developers trace errors back to their root cause, whether it's frontend, backend, or mobile.

Highlights:

Real-time debugging across platforms

Breadcrumb logs and performance metrics

Source map support for React Native

Dev Workflow Tip: Set up alerts in Sentry for regression errors during deployments. You’ll catch bugs before your users do.

6. Charles Proxy - Master of Network Debugging

When your mobile app relies heavily on APIs, Charles Proxy becomes essential. It acts as a man-in-the-middle for HTTP/HTTPS traffic.

Capabilities:

View and modify API responses

Simulate slow network speeds

Debug SSL and certificate issues

Who Uses It? QA teams, backend engineers, and mobile devs testing edge cases love Charles.

7. Bugfender - Remote Logs That Just Work

Need to see logs from a user’s device without asking them to reproduce the issue? Bugfender lets you log remotely and view sessions in real time.

Why It Stands Out:

Remote logging from real devices

Easy integration with Android, iOS, Cordova, React Native

GDPR-compliant and secure

Ideal For: Customer support and QA teams that want to debug without friction.

8. Instabug - In-App Feedback and Bug Reports

With Instabug, users can shake their phone and report bugs. It captures logs, screenshots, device data, and more.

Standout Features:

In-app bug reporting with detailed logs

User feedback collection

Performance and crash monitoring

Why It’s a Game-Changer: It closes the gap between users and developers.

Debugging Process: A Step-by-Step Workflow

1. Detect the Problem

Use tools like Crashlytics or Sentry for alerts.

2. Reproduce the Bug

Use device simulators or real devices. Charles Proxy helps mimic different conditions.

3. Analyze Logs

Use Logcat (Android), Console (Xcode), Bugfender, or Flipper.

4. Fix & Test

Use Android Studio Profiler or Instruments to validate the fix.

5. Deploy with Monitoring

Push your fix with CI/CD tools and monitor it via Crashlytics or Sentry.

Bonus Tips for Mobile Debugging in 2025

Automate regression testing to catch repeating bugs early.

Monitor third-party SDKs for memory leaks.

Track user behavior with tools like Mixpanel to understand bug triggers.

Test under real-world conditions — low battery, slow network, no WiFi.

Conclusion

The mobile app ecosystem in 2025 is fast, competitive, and unforgiving. The developers who succeed are the ones who master their tools. Debugging is no longer just about reading logs, it’s about using the right platform, at the right time, with the right data.

Stay sharp. Stay stable. Debug like a pro.

Moving Away From Spotify (Part 2)

The objective of this post has changed a bit since I posted Part 1 about 2 months ago. While I was originally concerned with the moral/ethical issues that plague Spotify, moving away from it has proven a more difficult task than anticipated.

Previously, I went over why Spotify has taken a turn for the worse, and how streaming/digital music royalties work. These posts were a part of a longer task of actually moving my roughly 6000 track library of saved music away from Spotify and to another platform that better aligned with practices that reward artists for their work and aim to connect them with listeners. This time, I want to talk a bit about what alternatives exist and what sets them apart.

Fair warning, this is going to feel a bit like reading that giant blurb about the baker's struggles with childhood trauma before you actually get to a recipe. But, I'm hoping that my experiences might help someone else make a decision as well.

First, I need to acknowledge that for all of Spotify's flaws, I cannot deny that they are still the best in the space for accessibility. You can publish on Spotify from anywhere, with almost no barrier to entry, and anyone can listen without paying a thing from any platform they choose. I think this strength, though eroding, is still present and the overall experience still makes for strong competition against others.

This has become especially apparent even when using services from members of the industry that have held a firm grasp on digital music sales/streaming for about as long as it's been possible. But, let's get on with the alternatives that exist and their general strengths.

This is a short-list. You can refer to Wikipedia if you want to get overwhelmed. I'm also focused on English-first services because that's what's relevant to me. These services may not be suitable for content published in countries outside of Canada/USA.

How to Choose

In order to qualify for consideration I had some basic criteria:

Pays artists a fair wage per thousand streams (I consider $10 USD the minimum for this)

Accessible between devices and platforms

Minimal use of AI (AI is not a replacement for curated recommendation algorithms)

Ease of migration (Provides a tool or third-party service to import Spotify library)

These requirements may not seem like much but the first two really narrow down the search. I also had some nice-to-haves such as:

Lossless/HQ Audio

Lyrics

Qualifying Options

That more or less left me with the following options:

Apple Music

Qobuz

Tidal

Oh...well that's not much is it. Hm. And what's a Qobuz?? We'll come back to that. Technically Amazon music also qualified for the list too, as it barely breaks the $/stream threshold but I have plenty of other moral qualms with Amazon to want to pay them for...anything really. Especially not a service I plan to use long-term.

Apple Music

Easily the biggest competitor, it feels natural that Apple would have a robust streaming platform with a massive library. They're responsible for the mass demand for MP3 players and in the wake of Napster's demise they capitalized on the demand for easy access to digital music through iTunes. So why in the hell does Apple Music suck so fucking bad?

On paper this service should be excellent. I'm actually using it right now, listening to Madde's "Non-Photo Blue" while I write this. It's got:

A massive library

Well received tools for transferring playlists

Integrates with existing iTunes media

Has similar discovery tools

Supports lossless playback

Synced lyrics

But right away I learned only iOS users get the privilege of easily migrating their music. An app called "Playlisty" is available for a one-time $4 purchase. To the app's credit, it does a great job and there were only about 300 songs that didn't make it over. Unfortunately this app isn't available for Android, nor as a web-based service. It almost certainly could be, but if the devs asked themselves "Who would bother if they're not already an Apple user?", they were probably right to do so.

The Android app is decent, but the web player is abysmal. The native app for Windows sucks, so you pretty much have to use iTunes, except be sure to uninstall Apple Music or Apple TV first otherwise you're not going to be able to use the music features of iTunes. Why? Because Apple says so. Even then, you need to make sure iTunes is set to "Direct Sound" for its output otherwise any kind of lossless playback skips like a DiscMan out for a jog.

With that out of the way, I still have my problem of Linux playback. I'm only able to use the web version of Apple Music here, and Apple hasn't put any time into making lossless audio work, so one of its strongest features falls off a cliff. The web app also lags like hell on first play, and none of the available applications support casting. As a bonus, there's no synced playback, so you're not going to be able to pause from your phone if you have something playing on a computer or TV that isn't a Mac or AirPlay enabled. Spotify put a lot of time into making things seamless in a way that feels like it should be Apple's bread and butter but instead they've taken the 8 years of development time Apple Music has had to improve and not thought to address this.

Did I mention the Apple Music app for my TV also isn't available in Canada but I had to go through the trouble of downloading it and signing in twice before it wanted to tell me that? What an absolute mess. AirPlay works fine though.

Okay, so maybe Apple Music isn't for me.

Qobuz

Pronounced "Ko-buzz", this is a French streaming app you probably haven't heard of. It's also a pretty massive music store offering DRM-free, lossless quality music through what feels like nearly every label under the sun. Their library might not be as big, but they're certainly a compelling option if it works even slightly better than Apple Music.

Qobuz has a few selling points:

Averages $18 per 1000 streams

Uses Soundiiz to facilitate the transfer of playlists for free

Lossless audio works in-browser

Easy to access "Buy" option next to every album/track

Request system for missing music

No lyrics

Immediately, there are some downsides. Soundiiz only caught about 4/5 of my music library. On the upside, they provide an export of the whole transfer and you can pretty easily figure out what didn't match. It also got a bit confused about some tracks and seems to have substituted in tracks I never had saved. This hasn't been a major issue though.

Qobuz playback is snappy, it sounds good and there's no reliance on an app to handle DRM. Similar to Apple Music though, there's no real way to cast to my TV without an iOS device to provide AirPlay options, as Roku doesn't support Google Cast. It also doesn't support synced playback between the web player and local devices, but it does seem to know when you're using it on another device so I have to think that's in the pipeline. For now though, unless you're casting, there's no way to pause from another device.

I will say that Qobuz at least feels like the people developing are people who love music, and want to share it with others. This platform doesn't have a free tier, it's entirely driven by subscriptions and as a result maybe there just isn't that same kind of monetization culture that relies on ads. It also features some more unique features like the ability to explore entire catalogues from labels, solving a long-standing issue I've had with Spotify and trying to listen to Monstercat releases.

Overall, this has been a pretty pleasant experience and has had the least friction. Things I can and can't do are clearly communicated, and the open ability to report music that isn't available is something I'll certainly exercise. There is a lack of discovery tools outside of basic "Here's songs for people who have never heard music before" type exploration playlists.

Tidal

Tidal's an odd one. It's been around for more than a decade, but has seen some pretty slow growth. Originally an "Audiophile" grade streaming service, it was a small library and far more expensive, facing scrutiny for some rocky decisions. Now, prices have come down and they seem to be leveraging label partnerships to market to DJs and pop-heads.

I actually had some help from a friend for this one. I had more or less already ruled this one out for myself since it couldn't capture even half of my music library, but Tidal's always generally had a greater focus on pop/r&b, which aren't my typical listening categories. The following is his experience.

Tidal's selling points:

HiRes/FLAC audio (Lossless)

Average $12 per 1000 streams

Partnered with TuneMyMusic for playlist transfer

And that's about it.

My friend's library is about 1200 songs, most fitting into the library of music Tidal offers, so there weren't many missed tracks. There was some fiddling about, because apparently TuneMyMusic does also like to add duplicates when it's unsure about song versions. It may also add entire albums if the song name matches an album name. A clean and re-import did seem to fix this though. Overall, it seems like a similar experience to Qobuz, with lossless available in app or browser.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TL;DR: I think I've settled on Qobuz. While it missed a good chunk of my library, it'd be hard to match everything. A lot of it was also content self-published, or isn't available regionally anymore either. Sometimes it is Spotify exclusive, but it's usually available on Bandcamp too if I was interested in buying it. It has enough features and is broadly compatible enough with all the things I use. My TV is the only shortfall, but I was due to get a receiver for that anyways.

How to Pick the Perfect Mobile App Development Company

Hey Tumblr fam, let’s talk about something real: turning your app idea into a living, breathing digital masterpiece. Maybe you’ve got a killer concept—something that could rival TikTok or make budgeting less of a snooze-fest. But here’s the catch: you need the right mobile app development company to bring it to life. Picking the wrong one? That’s a fast track to wasted time, drained savings, and a half-baked app that nobody downloads.

I’ve been there—dreaming big, scrolling endlessly, and wondering, “How do I even start choosing the best app development services?” Spoiler: it’s less about tech jargon and more about finding a team that gets you. So, grab your coffee (or tea, no judgment), and let’s break this down, human-to-human. Here’s your guide to hiring mobile app developers who won’t leave you ghosted—or broke.

Step 1: Know What You Want (Even If It’s Vague)

Before you Google “top mobile app development companies near me,” pause. What’s your app about? Is it a game-changer for small businesses? A fitness tracker with sass? Or just something to make your friends laugh? You don’t need a 50-page plan, but a rough idea helps. Think:

Purpose: What problem does it solve?

Audience: Who’s downloading this? Teens? Busy moms? Tech geeks?

Budget: Ballpark it—$5K? $50K?

Pro tip: Jot this down. It’s your North Star when app developers start throwing buzzwords like “Flutter” or “React Native” at you. A clear vision keeps you grounded.

Step 2: Hunt for App Developers Who Speak Your Language

Not every mobile app development firm is a match. Some are corporate robots; others are chill startups. You want a vibe check. Here’s how to find your people:

Portfolio Peek: Check their past work. Built an e-commerce app? A social platform? If they’ve nailed something close to your idea, they’re in the running.

Reviews & Real Talk: Dig into client testimonials—Google, Clutch, or even Reddit threads. Did they deliver on time? Were they cool to work with?

Communication Style: Email them a quick “hey, I’ve got an idea—can we chat?” If they reply like humans (not auto-bots) and ask smart questions, that’s a green flag.

Semantic tip: Look for “reliable app development services” or “trusted mobile app developers” in reviews—it’s a sign they’re not just coding cowboys.

Step 3: Tech Skills Matter (But Don’t Obsess)

Okay, let’s get a little nerdy. The best app development companies know their stuff—iOS, Android, cross-platform, you name it. But unless you’re a coder, don’t sweat the details. Focus on:

Experience: Have they built apps for your industry (e.g., healthcare, gaming)?

Tools: Do they use modern frameworks like Swift, Kotlin, or something scalable?

Future-Proofing: Can they update your app when iOS 19 or Android 15 drops?

Long-tail bonus: Search “hire mobile app developers with cross-platform expertise” to find versatile teams. You want pros who can flex, not flop.

Step 4: Budget Without Breaking the Bank

Money talks, right? Mobile app development costs vary wildly—$10K for a simple app, $100K+ for the next big thing. Here’s the trick:

Get Quotes: Ask 3-5 companies for estimates. Compare apples to apples (features, timeline, support).

Value Over Cheap: The lowest bid might mean buggy code or zero support. Look for “affordable app development services” that don’t skimp on quality.

Payment Plans: Some firms offer milestones (pay as they build). It’s less scary than dropping a lump sum.

Real story: My friend went with a dirt-cheap developer. Six months later? App crashed, dev vanished. Pay for peace of mind.

Step 5: Test Their Team Spirit

A great app isn’t just code—it’s collaboration. The best mobile app development companies treat you like a partner, not a paycheck. Ask:

Who’s on Deck?: Designers, coders, testers—do they have a full squad?

Updates: Will they keep you in the loop with demos or progress chats?

Support: Post-launch, will they fix bugs or help with updates?

Semantic vibe: “choosing a mobile app development firm with strong teamwork” is a hidden gem. Solo freelancers might flake; a solid crew sticks around.

Step 6: Gut Check + Contract

Found a contender? Trust your instincts. If they feel shady—pushy sales, vague answers—run. Then:

Sign Smart: Get a contract. Scope, timeline, costs—lock it in.

Ask Dumb Questions: “What if I hate it?” or “What’s the refund vibe?” Good devs won’t blink.

Tumblr truth: Your gut’s smarter than you think. Pair it with a paper trail, and you’re golden.

Why This Matters

Your app’s your baby. Handing it to the wrong mobile app development company is like trusting a stranger with your diary. Pick a team that’s skilled, real, and ready to roll with your quirks. The world’s waiting—don’t let a bad choice hold you back.

So, where you at with your app idea? Drop it in the replies—I’m all ears! And if you’ve got dev horror stories (or wins), spill the tea. Let’s vibe about this.

[robotsprinkles]

so were the old ipads (ipad 4 and earlier) made before apple started doing their stupid planned obsolescence crap or am I just really lucky?

like obviously I can't update them to any of the newer ios versions and as a result can't use the app store at all anymore (though to my knowledge there are ways to jailbreak or otherwise get it to let you update to newer ios versions)

but every app/game/program I've installed on it that isn't online-only still works and I think the battery life still works well (though I do keep it on low brightness and only really use it for occasional youtube watching when eating/brushing my teeth. and sometimes replaying infinity blade so maybe that's why)

so far I've only had issues where websites stop working because the devs roll out an update that breaks the site on older devices (youtube seems to fix itself after a few weeks-months. twitter has been unusable for I think a year or more)

Developing web applications includes making applications that can easily enter online and run in web browsers. HTML, CSS and JavaScript are the most common web technologies for creating these apps. They offer a various and platform-independent method, as users can access them from many devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones.

1- Waterfall

It’s fit for systems with a strong environment and it gives a clean range.

2-Nimble

We break the design into speeds to give right replies. Thus, we build features and test them in short cycles.

3- Rapid operation development( RAD)

People reply to circles, which is good. Furthermore, visual growth tools are mixed to forward the process.

4- DevOps

DevOps joins software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops); thus, it supports faster and extra true software delivery.

5- Extra development

It helps raise customer value as it stress on lower free effort, and it aims for better growth process.

6- Crossbred development

It approves law work; moreover, it speeds up app development over many platforms.

7-Low- law/ No- law development

These platforms offer visual app development links and extra factors, which as a result enable quick development and easier change.

Android App Development

This usually calls for skill with Android Studio Thus, developers commonly use the United Development Environment. Moreover, they also need skills in programming classics like Java or Kotlin.

I Phone App Development

The instructor begins the iOS app development course with the most fundamental things; furthermore, they introduce you to the iOS platform and the Swift programming language. In addition, they slowly start to deal with more growth.

Saturday Morning Coffee

Good morning from Charlottesville, Virginia! ☕️

I still get a bit lost in my new gig — at WillowTree — as a React Native/TypeScript dev. The syntax is making more sense and getting easier to follow, but, I do have a difficult time understanding the errors produced by yarn ts:check. It’s the same each time I learn a new language.

I’m also developing an interest in Rust. That’ll have to be a part time interest for a long time I suppose. I have more important business to attend to. 😃

Onward!

Shareshot is an iOS app that transforms how you share iPhone and iPad screenshots

A friend of mine, Marc Palmer, is part of the duo who created Shareshot! It is, as always, absolutely beautiful, full featured, and stable.

If I’m not too lazy moving forward I should use it to make screenshots for Stream blog posts and the like.

Congratulations, Marc! 🥳

Mobile app interactivity, multimodal voice technology, and AI are all converging with Apple Intelligence — Apple’s new artificial intelligence feature set announced at this year’s WWDC, coming soon with iOS 18 (maybe in October). And the secret sauce powering those awesome interactions is something called App Intents.

Andrew is pretty legendary in the halls of WillowTree. So damned smart and witty, and he plays a mean fiddle and banjo.

Anywho, go give his piece on App Intents a gander, you might learn a thing or two.

Austin Dillon has been stripped of the NASCAR Cup Series playoff eligibility that came with his victory at Richmond Raceway.

Austin Dillion looked great all night. I don’t recall how many laps he lead but it was a lot. He was two laps short of victory when a late caution came out.

On the restart he was beat off the line by Joey Lagano and fell into second place.

I wanted to see Mr. Dillion win so badly. He hasn’t had a win in a couple years and Richard Childress Racing needed one but the way he did it was not great.

He kept the win but was stripped of his points and playoff berth. They should’ve disqualified him and given the win to Legano, if I’m being honest about my feelings.

Sonos is laying off about 100 people, the company confirmed on Wednesday. The news comes as Sonos is expecting to spend $20 to $30 million in the short term to repair the damage from its poorly received app update.

It’s incredible how much an app redesign can make or break an application or company.

Another critically acclaimed podcasting app called Overcast was also redesigned and released recently. It too has had a very difficult time with its subscribers. Lots of one star reviews and hate.

Rewrites can kill companies. Don’t do it. Evolve your code over time. Think of it as a Ship of Theseus.

Ryan Reynolds had very specific tech (and humor) requirements for Wolverine’s corpse

I still haven’t see the new Deadpool but I really want to. Deadpool’s obsession with Wolverine is funny as heck and I’m here for it. Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are hysterical.

In a throwback to the past, this blog post takes us on a journey back to a time when eBPF was a focal point in the realm of kernel security research. In this update, we recount the discovery of CVE-2023-2163, a vulnerability within the eBPF verifier, what our root-cause analysis process looked like, and what we did to fix the issue.

Fresh off the heels of the Crowdstrike fiasco we get a story of how Google engineers found vulnerabilities in a Linux technology that allows for similar extensions to the OS. Similar in desired outcome, not in implementation.

Quite a few websites are unusable by now because they got “optimized for Chrome.” Microsoft Teams, for example, and the list is long. These websites fail for no good reason.

Chrome has definitely become the new Internet Explorer in a way. Devs have become lazy and don’t code for the open web, they’re coding against a specific browser. Not good. 🤦🏻‍♂️

How Spotify started — and killed — Latin America’s podcast boom

What Spotify has done is not podcasting if it doesn’t allow any podcast player to subscribe to a feed. That’s part of what makes a podcast a podcast. What they’ve done is something that needs a new name.

Lately I’ve heard some podcasts announce ad free versions available on Apple Podcasts, which is also just as bad as Spotify’s locked up audio thing.

Please, don’t do this, keep your podcast a podcast and find a better way to create subscriptions. Others have done it. You can too.

Patreon

Apple is requiring that Patreon switch to their iOS in-app purchase system starting this November, or risk being removed from the App Store. Here’s what’s coming, and what you can do about it.

My opinion on this is simple.

If they really believe in creators Patreon should abandon their iOS App in favor of a really great mobile experience on their website.

Before WordPerfect, the most popular work processor was WordStar. Now, the last ever DOS version has been bundled and set free by one of its biggest fans.

It’s not surprising how many fans of WordStar exist. Many of them are novelists and columnists. The best of the best writers in the world. Of course they’re most likely of a certain ventage, if you know what I mean? 😂

I started as a BASIC programmer and used WordStar as my editor until I discovered Brief. True story.

Judge Chutkan faces call to seize Trump’s passport after threat to flee to Venezuela

Can Judge Chutkan do the opposite and encourage Trump to move to Venezuela, now? That would solve a lot of problems with the upcoming election and help preserve democracy.

It would be a great service to the country. 🇺🇸

Rex Huppke • USA TODAY

Trump rambles, slurs his way through Elon Musk interview. It was an unmitigated disaster.

I listened to it for a few minutes and the Orange Man sounded like Sylvester the cat!

The Future of Cross-Platform Development: Flutter vs. React Native in 2024

Hey there, fellow code wranglers and app aficionados! Pull up a chair, grab your favorite caffeinated beverage, and let's dive into one of the hottest debates in the mobile dev world: Flutter vs. React Native. It's 2024, and these two titans of cross-platform development are still duking it out for supremacy. But which one should you choose for your next project? Let's break it down, shall we?

The Cross-Platform Dream

First off, let's remind ourselves why we're even having this conversation. Remember the days of building separate apps for iOS and Android? Yeah, those were fun times (said no one ever). Cross-platform development promises the holy grail: write once, run anywhere. And both Flutter and React Native have been delivering on that promise, each in their own unique way.

Flutter: The Dart-Powered Dynamo

Let's start with Google's golden child, Flutter. Born in 2017, Flutter has grown up fast. By 2024, it's become a force to be reckoned with. Here's what's got developers buzzing:

1. Dart-astic Performance

Flutter's secret weapon? Dart. This language compiles to native code, giving Flutter apps that buttery-smooth 60 FPS performance we all crave. In 2024, Dart's just gotten better, with even more optimizations that make Flutter apps fly.

2. Widget Wonderland

Flutter's widget-based architecture is still a hit. Everything's a widget, which makes building UIs a breeze. And with the ever-expanding catalog of pre-built widgets, you can whip up a slick UI faster than you can say "hot reload."

3. Hot Reload on Steroids

Speaking of hot reload, Flutter's implementation is still lightning-fast in 2024. Make a change, see it instantly. It's like having a superpower for debugging and iterating.

4. Beyond Mobile

Flutter's not just for phones anymore. With Flutter for Web and Flutter Desktop in full swing, you can truly write once and run everywhere. Building a cohesive ecosystem across all platforms has never been easier.

5. Strong Community Vibes

The Flutter community has exploded. There's a package for everything, and the knowledge sharing is off the charts. Got a problem? Stack Overflow's got your back, pronto.

React Native: The JavaScript Juggernaut

Now, let's talk about Facebook's baby, React Native. It's been around since 2015, and it's aged like fine wine. Here's why it's still a top contender in 2024:

1. JavaScript Everywhere

React Native's use of JavaScript is still its biggest selling point. With JS being the lingua franca of web development, the learning curve for web devs is practically flat. Plus, the JavaScript ecosystem is vast and vibrant.

2. Native Feel, React Familiarity

React Native lets you build truly native apps using React. If you know React, you're already halfway there. And in 2024, the bridge between React Native and native components is smoother than ever.

3. Hot Reloading Delight

Like Flutter, React Native boasts hot reloading. Make a change, see it live. It's a developer's dream come true.

4. Web Integration Winner

Need to share code between your web and mobile apps? React Native's got you covered. The line between web and mobile development is blurrier than ever in 2024.

5. Battle-Tested and Enterprise-Ready

React Native has been around the block. It's proven itself in the trenches of app development, and big names are still betting on it. Stability and reliability are the name of the game here.

The Showdown: Flutter vs. React Native in 2024

Alright, now for the main event. How do these two stack up against each other in 2024? Let's break it down:

Performance

Flutter still has the edge here. Its compiled nature gives it a performance boost that's hard to beat. React Native has made strides, but if raw speed is your game, Flutter's your name.

Development Speed

It's a close call, but Flutter might have a slight advantage. Its hot reload is a tad faster, and the widget-based architecture can speed up UI development. However, if your team is already React-savvy, React Native might be quicker for you.

Learning Curve

React Native takes the cake here, especially if you're coming from a web background. JavaScript's ubiquity makes it easier to pick up. Dart, while not difficult, is less common and might take a bit more time to master.

UI Components

Flutter's built-in widget library is more comprehensive out of the box. React Native relies more on third-party libraries for advanced components. However, both have robust ecosystems in 2024, so you're not likely to be left wanting.

Community and Ecosystem

It's neck and neck. React Native has the advantage of age and the broader JavaScript community. Flutter, however, has seen exponential growth and has a dedicated, passionate following. You'll find plenty of support and resources for both in 2024.

Cross-Platform Capabilities

Flutter has made significant strides here. Its ability to target mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase is impressive. React Native can do this too, but Flutter's implementation feels more cohesive.

Long-Term Viability

Both are here to stay. Google and Facebook are still heavily investing in their respective frameworks. Neither is going anywhere anytime soon.

So, Which One Should You Choose?

Ah, the million-dollar question. The truth is, there's no one-size-fits-all answer. It depends on your specific needs, your team's expertise, and your project requirements. Here's a quick guide:

Choose Flutter if:

- Performance is your top priority

- You're building a complex UI with custom designs

- You want to target multiple platforms (mobile, web, desktop) with a single codebase

- Your team is willing to learn Dart or already knows it

Go with React Native if:

- Your team is already proficient in JavaScript and React

- You need to share code between web and mobile apps

- You're building an app that needs to integrate closely with native components

- You prefer a more mature ecosystem with a longer track record

The Verdict

Here's the beautiful truth: you can't go wrong with either Flutter or React Native in 2024. They're both fantastic frameworks that can help you build amazing cross-platform apps. The "best" choice is the one that aligns with your team's skills, your project's needs, and your long-term goals.

My advice? Try them both. Build a small project in Flutter and another in React Native. See which one feels more natural, which one your team enjoys working with more. At the end of the day, the best framework is the one that helps you ship great apps efficiently and joyfully.

Remember, the tool is just that – a tool. What matters most is the craftsperson wielding it. So whichever you choose, focus on writing clean code, creating intuitive UIs, and delivering value to your users. That's what will set your app apart in 2024 and beyond.
