As long as Apple collects their cut of popular apps through in app purchases, They don't care, and nobody cares. But they should. Tea will just update the app / force update the app to fix t…

So what is the solution to this duopoly except for crypto? I envision a third payment processor that isn't Visa or Mastercard and not even crypto. It isn't Stripe or PayPal either, something…

Then I should not see any EU citizen buying anything from other places other than the EU, no exceptions. I do welcome Apple buying from the EU, at least that fits the subreddit well. The question is h…

I love how there are no ads on the page and it is all for free, no paywalls, private, to the point, no sponsors, just the news. Can you add RSS feeds as well? More news websites need to take a leaf ou…

While local first software might be easier to scale, the financial aspect remains unsolved. I can see that Harper (The author's software) was acquired by Automattic so I assume that Automattic is…

Don't forget the incredible lock in Figma has in the design space. Figma just has to jack up the price in order to appease Wall Street quarterly. Business wise it's got a great margin, but t…
