A PWA is an app that's built on web platform technologies and use the browser engine to emulate a native platform app that uses platform specific technologies (Android, iOS). Since they use the browser to serve functionality, they can be presented on any operating system, and the browser UI is supplanted by the app UI. It can still be deeply integrated into the device, so you can install it to your phone, you get the icon, they can access functions of the device, like notifications, running in the background, running offline even in some use cases. Just instead of the device OS providing the backend, the browser functions as the backend. It's basically a website wrapper, though I hesitate to call it that for fear of being reductive.
Oh, that's good to know. That actually makes a lot of sense. Is this the future way of making apps for devices? Can a PWA work on both iOS and Android by just having the url? Sorry for all the questions, it's actually quite interesting to hear about.
My knowledge is really surface level as I'm not a developer. I'm just fascinated by stuff like this and seeing how far they can push it. It doesn't seem like web apps have taken off the way that native apps have, but part of that is people getting better and better internet over time and more powerful phones, so that things can run without the jank. It does work on both iOS and Android in modern browsers just by going to the URL. Wefwef really is quite stunning, especially if you take into account how new it is and how much they've done in so little time. Another good one is https://weather.com, which you can install the same way.
It is amazing. Made the experience of switching almost pain free. Lemmy still lacks a lot of content that was on Reddit, but it will come with time. I’m also digging lemmy.world. The server seems a bit beefer than lemmy.ml, where I started off. I was getting a lot of errors and slow requests, but not after switching.
It’s kind of shocking to me that the best app is a webapp. But it clearly makes the decision to just outright copy Apollo and there are a lot worse ways to go.
I’d say that depends a lot on what kind of skills you have available. As for the providing for your family, the most important part is to focus on being there for them, rather then giving them what you never had. I can assure you that your children will care a thousand times more about a good father then having the newest toy or game. As long as they are fed, clothed, bedded, happy, and healthy, anything will seem like the world to them.
For a less sappy answer, seeing as how you’ve already got a successful business, try taking up a more creative hobby and improving with that in time. You’d be surprised how good you can get at a craft in only a few months. I can’t say for certain it will be able to fill the different you might be looking for, but it will likely bring balance to your work life schedule and be a nice thing to fall back on when things with your business are slow.
So there are a bunch of different things in this post thay seem to need answers so Ill try my best to find resources for you.
First off, neuroprotection is defined as “the relative preservation of neuronal structure and/or function”. So we have thousands if not millions of neurons in our body, and each neuron releases neurotransmitters such as endorphins, serotonin, dopamine etc. To be absorbed by other neurons which affect our mood and bodily functions.
Some fungi, such as Lions mane mushrooms have been shown to potentially aid in neuron growth and improve symptoms of alzheimers. In this way they can be neuroprotective.
Knowing that, my brain goes to thinking that if anything Lions mane might reinforce some aspects of autism! That’s just my first thought though and is probably inaccurate.
I don’t know much about how adaptogens work, and I’ve never really considered a connection to autism before but I did a little digging but there seems to be no real research on this. From my limited understanding, adaptogens seem to work similar to how ingesting vitamins and minerals might work, or coffee or tea. They also cover a broad range of herbs and fungi and they all work differently.
Do you mind explaining how the cordyceps tea made you feel “less autistic”? So far there is no research indicating that there is or will be any “cure” for autism or way to “rewire your brain” to get rid of your autism. If anything, it is likely that adaptogens might help you feel calmer or more focused, where the stress or anxiety might be caused by overstimulation experienced due to autism. So like the overstimulation may remain but they may help to manage it more effectively. Does that make sense?
Yes, that’s makes sense. When I get really happy or excited I’ll stim. When I drank the cordyceps tea, it was similar to being high, but my body and mind were calmer. Same effect with Tulsi tea. I know Tulsi tea has linalool in it. which is also in Marijuana. When I drink Tulsi or Cordyceps tea, it feels like my vision and brain are in a bubble, or I’m looking through a fishy eye lens if that makes sense. What I’m hoping, is that adaptogens just block certain receptors and aren’t really changing the brain at all.
Dang that’s cool, I’ll have to try some! Yeah, I mean they do affect how your brain functions in the moment, similar to coffee, green tea, alcohol, etc. But it seems that there may be more long term changes, if we look at the lions mane example. Sounds like a super interesting thing to do a deep dive on, though! Idk if there is a whole lot of scientific literature on them but I like to find peer reviewed scientific articles. If you read just the abstract and the conclusion you usually are able to get the info you’re looking for
Would it be more efficient to put any extra energy you’d use for a side hustle into growing the business and making that more profitable? Instead of splitting time?
first day of apollo being dead, finding myself sadder than i thought i would be. i knew it was going to shutdown but i guess it didn't feel properly real until it just stopped working
You got it reversed, lemmy.world is at 0.17.4 and Jerboa is already at 0.18.0. No logins are possible, and if already logged in it works with some crashes.
There’s a bug on 0.18.0 that causes problems for some features of lemmy.world, they’re trying to update the instance to 0.18.1.
Apollo was made by someone who used to intern at Apple and it had that feel, imo. It was intuitive, thought-out, and functioned flawlessly. I know you’re an Android person, but take all the positive buzzwords around the Apple product philosophy and apply it to a Reddit app.
The big things and the little things. Lots of gestures - hold on a comment and drag it up and it’ll upvote, hold and drag down, downvote.
You could even have it display the current weather at the top when you were in a location-specific sub.
Calling the communities “sublemmies” for example, would mean that people on kbin have to call it like that too. And afaik they are called in a general way for the fediverse, just like how mastodon changed toot to post.
Does this make the platforms less unique? Yes, absolutely, but I don’t think there is a fix for it.
