This is so fucking good for TESTING stuff end to end. I have mongodb, I have a next JS app, I have a virtual machine that runs something and grafana for logs - it would have been impossible to automate this testing end to end (I’m building Tuco ai) but now it’s possible. I’m so shocked how good this thing is for testing. It was meh for everything else!!

Parker I have literally given the links to my website, my twitter, my linkedin and my github, and all of his.

My username has been @goforbg everywhere on the internet including the domain name.

I really don't know what else to show you. All I have to say is this, I created this tool. I wanted to launch it on HN. I posted the link of the hn thread on my facebook, twitter and whatsapp status.

I did NOT ask him to come comment here.

MC naveen actually did try out the product during the producthunt launch and had given me some valid feedback and bug fixes, so I think that's why he commented here.

If you think we're the same person or that I made him comment or it's a couple of fake profiles I have nothing else to show you except the products we've built online and our github contributions.

I'm going to stop replying beyond this because I feel it's insulting me and making me feel bad for something I did not do.

I don't understand what you're suggesting. I did not explicitly dm him to comment. Are you saying it's my fault I shared a link to the launch on my social media?

I publicly shared the link on my facebook wall and he had commented on his own.

When I first saw the comment I too thought it was someone else, before I saw his HN username.

Hey I really like the product, I would recommend you embed the video you've made[0] somewhere in the website's homepage or docs.

I'm sure a lot of devs mostly get started by reading docs, but I personally love videos which show me what's possible and I follow along.

I've seen your talk on starting a startup and how you built this! Great talk, inspired me a lot. All the best.

I hate this. I have 2 accounts with adsense, no recovery email because google banned all adsense account associated to my old emails (in 2012), which was not my fault. So I know the password, I know the email, still can't login because that phone number expired.

Compose for Web 5 years ago

I'm a full time Android dev, who's also a intermediate in web dev. When I first started using compose / flutter, I assumed it was for the best, since I didn't have to learn anything new. I battled myself everyday, whether or not I had to learn React. My views are pretty clear now.

React with PWA - For my internal projects. React & Android app with Kotlin - For Products I ship.

Ended up learning and liking react!

Like pier25 has pointed out, I don't think it's worth loading 2 mb for a single button. So as painful as it maybe to have 3 code bases for 3 platforms, IMO gives the user the best experience.
