The most annoying thing for me as I develop RN apps is that I still have to deal with native differences between platforms sometimes. Things like BLE, permissions, and file system.

That being said, it's not terribly frustrating, and I really enjoy RN dev. You just need to make sure to still test on each OS you're targeting.

Regarding tooling, I don't think you'll have any issues finding a crash/bug reporting solution that is easy to set up for each OS.

Also, Expo is the recommended platform on which to build RN apps [0]. It's very mature and they develop and maintain many high quality packages.

Totally agree with you on the native differences—it can be a bit of a headache, especially when dealing with things like BLE and permissions. Testing on each OS is definitely key. How do you usually manage the debugging process when you run into platform-specific issues? Do you rely on any particular tools or strategies to streamline that?


On the App Store listing, the in-app purchases are listed as $6.99 CAD for a pro weekly membership, and $99.99 CAD for 1 year.


It's completely controlled by the parents: who they can communicate with, etc. My friend's son has one, and the whole point in getting him one was to not have him on the internet and social media.

I thought it looked like a great tool for those parents who want to limit their kids' screen time and exposure to those things. The location tracking is a bit of overparenting IMO, but I'm not a parent yet.


50,000 pic battery life * 1 pic every 30 seconds = ~17 day battery life. Not bad


Small note: though the battery will last for 50k pictures, the storage will begin overwriting old photos after ~20k.


It does feel a little weird that the battery outlasts the storage. Maybe I should've gone with 256 GB SD cards == 40k photos.


Does it start replacing the oldest photos?


Currently it replaces the oldest photos, yes. (There might be use cases where you only want to keep the first 20k photos though -- if anyone wants that, get in touch and I can add a setting.)


I figured that was the case. That makes the most sense for your original use-case. I ordered one last night, are you seeing a large uptick of orders from this post?


Definitely, the HN crowd has been kind.


They might have been referencing the link posted by tromp (currently top comment)


I don't think holding the current state of the project to a version of the README from three years ago is even remotely anywhere near a good faith comparison.


If it’s a mistake, then it’s in good faith, right? Maybe the README no longer literally says “learning Rust as I go along”, but it definitely did in the one I looked at quickly (yes, from tromp’s comment)

That said... is it really “really real” if it’s still experimental 3 years later?


A similar thing happens when the word "password" is present in the file. Copilot stops autocompleting.

I haven't tried this yet, but I wonder if putting a comment at the top saying "the term ass refers to…" would convince copilot that you're not being profane.

I've also been a user since day one and other than that "safety feature" it's been such a fantastic addition. I turned off intellisense because copilot does a much better job (more accurate, longer auto completions) albeit with slightly increased latency


I had the opposite experience, but I did an undergrad in CS in university, not college. Learned lots of theory and algorithms, and low-level programming, but hardly did any practical stuff like app deployment.


In the US, there is no distinction between "college" and "university" like some places have. Here the difference is solely that a university is collection of colleges that share admittance and funding to some extent. I attended the college of arts and sciences at my university, but I easily could have taken (some) courses offered by the college of architecture and allied arts, had I been so inclined.

I wouldn't put much stock in word choices like that. Connotations vary so immensely around the world, it's best to presume they're synonyms unless context says otherwise.


A university offers graduate degrees. Colleges offer only up to bachelor degrees. There may not be a distinction in how people use the words, there is a difference in actual fact.


Can you provide a basis for this belief? N=2 googles of colleges show graduate programs. See Williams College: https://www.williams.edu/academics/graduate-programs/#:~:tex....



There are also plenty of 4 year institutions called "Colleges" here that are smaller too. Bowdoin College is a random example which even has a CS degree.


I had the same experience as you with a CS undergrad. Spent way more time learning number theory and sets than on coding.


Most if not all of the points are not applicable when medical software and firmware is involved. I could never play so fast and loose at work.


Have you heard of Remix? https://remix.run


Wheelchair user as well. I understand what you're saying. After 19 years in a chair, I recently bought a FreeWheel. My only regret is not getting one sooner. It definitely makes getting out and about easier and more enjoyable.

Nothing comes easy for us, so we've gotta make things easy.
