"React Native apps rely on a single JavaScript thread, which can slow things down when handling complex tasks. Developers have traditionally worked around this by writing code twice – once for iOS and once for Android – or by using C++, which can be difficult to manage. Uniffi for React Native offers a better solution by enabling developers to offload heavy tasks to Rust, which is now easy to integrate with React Native."

CEO of Scroll here. yep, it's super annoying and we're changing it to be way less so. Should be rolling out early this coming week, so let me know what you think.

I'm sure there's going to be a lot of stuff to change as we learn, so please keep the feedback coming.

Would love to do it, but for a publisher the economics get super hard at this time. The number of new consumers has to be large enough to offset the drop in ARPU that a bundle would represent and publishers are super wary that there are enough people out there who want to get past paywalls to make that happen. This is the reason why even Apple News+ had such trouble convincing anyone to join.

I do think that over time more opportunities for, at first, skinny bundles will emerge but the world isn't there yet at the scale you'd want.

If you whitelist [*.]scroll.com in Chrome for example, Scroll should work. Important to note it doesn't get you past paywalls. The economics would make the price insanely high for that.

Thank you! I really appreciate that

CEO of Scroll here. It's hard with the big guys when you get started, they tend to move slow. However, the NYT and WSJ are both investors in the company so we're hopeful we can bring them in over the next year.

CEO of Scroll here. It's really helpful to get this feedback, if we were to try and fuck people over through opaque moves hidden in our terms we'd lose half our business overnight and everyone here would quit.

Either way, I totally hear you on this stuff, first thing on the list is building members even more privacy/data controls so that if for any reason you think you don't trust us anymore, you can make sure that you're protected.

From there, making sure we can iterate on our Terms to make sure they live up to the best of what our members want is going to be key. We've been launched for less than a month so keep the feedback coming.

CEO of Scroll here. Glad you're a fan of The Correspondent, we love them too. Also hear you on the privacy concerns. The publisher contracts with Scroll require that they remove third-party trackers 'that share information with parties other than Publisher or have a commercial purpose other than improving user experience.'

It's always going to be a negotiation when you're trying to work with sites rather than unilaterally act against them, but we're genuinely trying to get them to a place where they're living up to the privacy promise that a consumer would want.

Brendan and I are working on that :)

Hey, CEO of the company here. It's in our contract terms that we never sell your data to anyone. Aside, from the clear violations of privacy, it would completely fuck our business over night and everyone here would resign.

Jason was one of the first people to put money into Chartbeat. I've now worked with him as an investor for seven years and he's been consistently supportive and founder friendly even when it hasn't been in his short term interest to do so. He's also got incredible product intuition. I'd recommend him to any founder looking to work with someone who gives a shit.

+1 to Pierre Hadot. I actually prefer the Inner Citadel to reading the Meditations. A good intro is also William Irvine's a Guide to the Good Life

Agreed, a fantastic book and should be in the library of every entrepreneur

Did Washington cut off the noses and ears of those natives that tried to stop him raping their wives as punishment. Did Jefferson cut off the hands of those natives who did not mine enough gold that month in forced labour camps while also creating the encomienda system? Did Franklin reduce the population of Haiti from ~3m to 12,000 in just 20 years? Does John Hancock hold the record for transporting more slaves into slavery than any other person in history?

I think Columbus set himself well apart from the founding fathers on any number of scores and even in his own time and with his own supporters (Queen Isabella of Spain for instance) they thought he had gone too far

So bit.ly tried to do something about this a while back by helping to found http://archive.org/details/301works

Google only receives pings on the page load so it then assumes that each visitor is there for five minutes to get its measurement of concurrents. Chartbeat is being pinged every few seconds so we can tell if someone is really there or not. The infographic I linked to above explains it better.

Hey, I'm the CEO of chartbeat. When Google Analytics launched their real time we saw a slight jump in churn that month and then things settled down to normal levels again the next month, so not much effect at all thus far. This might have something to do with it: http://chartbeat.com/infographics/measure-different

Yep, I had this issue. No visa covers a foreign entrepreneur wanting to come and create jobs in the US. In the end I had to go through contortions to get an O1 but it wasn't pretty.

My reading is still fairly undisciplined. I am trying to get up earlier in the mornings to read before work, but it's challenging. Reading Gotham took at least six weeks whereas other books I blew through in a day. My goal is to get up to a book a week, we'll see how that goes :)

It was gutting to see the Challenge business go under. The 2004 race also had major challenges and only just got round financially. That is a great quote though

Thank you! I'm really glad it connected. I love this from Goethe:

  Then indecision brings its own delays, 
          And days are lost lamenting over lost days. 
          Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute; 
          What you can do, or dream you can do, begin it; 
          Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

Love this comment, thanks for this. On the 90ft wave front, you find them down in the Southern Ocean. There's no landmass to break them up so they just roll around getting larger and larger. In Southern Ocean storms we regularly had waves above the mast (95ft).

Having said that, it is a sailors prerogative to increase the height of waves by 10 ft for every year since their journey. :)

Hey Jon, I'm the GM of chartbeat and totally appreciate your point. Everything you say is super appropriate for the traditional role of static analytics which was to look at usual behaviour on fairly persistent architectures over time and optimize that.

However, real-time analytics is almost the antithesis of this. It's focused on exploiting unusual behaviour now often across transient content. With this kind of content and the kind of user flows we are seeing more of across the sites we track (more spikes and troughs than ever before) you can seriously boost your traffic by reflecting user behaviour in the site and (as Jason suggested above) doubling down on what's got the edge in that moment. The page that's driving the majority of your traffic today might not have existed yesterday and might not be looked at tomorrow so purely trying to apply traditional analytics methods to it has diminished utility.

So you should totally continue to use traditional analytics for optimising the persistent architecture of your site (I'd highly recommend Kiss Metrics), but think about chartbeat as a complement to that, helping you adapt the transient content on your site to the flows of user behaviour.

There's a reason almost every major publisher has integrated chartbeat, some spending thousands of dollars on us a month, and it ain't just because we're pretty ;)

Best not to ask for a raise, just keep working hard and good things will probably happen. Karma and all that.

Wow, Aditya, why would you try to fool us like that? Are you some kind of spam-tastic linkbaiter?

I know the guy who built this, he has a douchebag boss who makes him work long hours so he might not have had much time to devote recently...

Chartbeat also has a free iphone app with push notifications.

Speaking as a Brit Manager who pays his engineers more than himself and is perfectly happy about this, I call Bollocks.

Chartbeat isn't trying to compete with an analytics package like Google Analytics, they don't measure any of the same metrics. Chartbeat allows you to react in real-time when events occur. If your site goes down or suddenly a flood of traffic comes to your site after a review (good or bad) you can get alerted and respond without having to wait a day.

Think of it like this: Google Analytics can tell you how to better position fire hydrants and increase the efficiency of the fire engine's route to your house. Chartbeat can tell you that your house is on fire.
