  • I think it depends a lot on what you are building.

    For bigger projects and apps leveraging the mobile platform I’m 100% with you.

    These kinds of frameworks can still be a good fit for a quick MVP demo, as a stepping stone for porting an existing web app, or if all you really want is a glorified web view (or are PWAs enough for the last one these days?)

    Specifically RN is in terrible shape and IMO something to avoid though.















  • Just to rule it out (wouldn’t be the case on default debian):

    Is SELinux enabled? sudo getenforce (if command missing or false, it’s not your problem here)

    You are not running with podman as compose backend? sudo systemctl status podman shouldn’t show an active service unless you use it.

    It was certainly not intended as a character assessment and it’s unfortunate you took it that way. I’m talking about how the release notes (and in passing your post) were written and not about you as a person or maintainer, or even the project itself.

    I do hold release notes of a public project with thousands of users to a different standard than anon lemmy.world comments in a feedback thread. Is that interesting or surprising?

    I believe there was actionable feedback given. You are of course free to dismiss it.

    Maybe I don’t understand the use case for bentopdf, and considering how popular it is, that is likely true

    Especially in this day and age, be careful with believing something is right (or even popular) just becuse it looks popular. Talking about generalities of gameable metrics and the cognitive pattern, not to dunk on the project apart from their communications doing the same mistake.

    It’s not as much the general style as the particular contents of this release. Your previous release notes did not give the bad impression this one does. Since you did ask for any feedback I let you know why I am now less likely to use or recommend the tool compared to before. The amount of text and emojis spent begging for TrustPilot reviews also contributes.
