This is one of my biggest qualms with building SaaS apps on the App Store. You can't do a free trial without requiring an Apple Pay confirmation which will auto-convert. We get lots of negative reviews because of it, but there's no way around it without offering some free version.

I've tried both Nvidia GeForce Now and Stadia, and Stadia has been a much better experience. GeForce Now takes a few minutes to launch, and it's really wonky to tweak your mouse settings to make your mouse speed match what you're used to on your own computer. I also experienced terrible input lag on GeForce Now even on 600mbps wired internet and after turning on all of their recommended settings.

Stadia has felt pretty magical, I just open chrome and go, I don't notice any input lag, and I also have the option to grab my controller and play on a TV. It has a few hiccups every now and then, but nothing bad at all. It feels like the future.

True, those are all good things to do, but that's all about growing your money for retirement. It completely misses the side of protecting that money you work so hard to grow. Financial health is about more than building up savings, it's about building up resilience. You can gamble on not being one of the millions of people that become disabled / die and can no longer work each year to support their family, or you can play a little defense and wise up on what the adequate insurance levels are, create a will / trust, etc. These are the things people don't currently understand. They understand if they save more money they will have more money.

I disagree, what you described is really just scratching the surface. Personal finance can become massively complicated, especially when you hit inflection points in your life like having a child, trying to buy a home, or nearing retirement. It is "boring and unsophisticated" math at the end of the day, but there are so many variables that it quickly becomes difficult to comprehend for most people.

People "don't know what they don't know" when it comes to financial health, especially surrounding things like proper insurance coverage and tax optimization. Software that can keep an eye on your finances and alert you to anything that seems off, or better yet, perform the necessary actions to keep you in good financial health, would be a huge help to these people.

This isn't a realistic example of how you should use BEM, you would never have a block, element, and modifier in one class. The "block" class would be used in a div that wraps the elements:

    <div class="block">
        <div class="block__item">
            I am an item
        </div>
        <div class="block__item block__item--danger">
            I am a dangerous item
        </div>
    </div>
Your simplification relies on an HTML hack and can potentially be more confusing when modifier names start colliding.

The difference currently is primarily the design, and how you structure projects. We were avid Trello users in the past, but our Trello boards always expanded to way too many columns, which made it a mess scrolling horizontally.

With Wiplo, projects can have multiple boards (which often represent stages of your workflow), and each board is fixed to four columns, so no stage of your workflow grows too large and cumbersome. You never have to scroll horizontally, and can jump from board to board easily.

A video would quickly show the benefit of this and how nice it is to navigate, but we're still wrapping up the edits on our video.
