I went into a thread only to find that I had commented on it. My comment was one from an entirely different thread and Memmy somehow mistakenly decided to pulled that comment into that thread.
Sorry guys but Memmy has been unusable since we left version V.0.3.
Apparently, it did post the comment in the right place but it displayed it in the wrong thread just because… it felt like it?
🤷🏻♂️
In my book, that is actually a constructive critique. I am constructively telling you that javascript and react native are bad candidates for this type of thing and that I think it would benefit you long-term to switch to a native tech stack. As long as you didn’t personally invent javascript or react native, you shouldn’t be offended. I guess you could be offended if you simply refuse to learn swift while developing an app built solely for iOS but that’s not on me.
Dude just stop and realize you’re being pretty rude
You’re not being constructive or helpful. You’re coming off very entitled and negative.
If you don’t like the app, make your own. Simple as that
If you don’t want to (or cant) make your own app, let developers make what they want
There’s plenty of Lemmy apps built in SwiftUI, you can use those. But as you admit, Lemmy is the best of the list, and it’s built on a non native app. Go figure.
I bet this dude’s coworkers really love working with him. 😂
Imagine being this mad at someone who’s making an app without getting paid and doing it on their spare time. And the kicker is the dude’s a dev as well, so he of all people should know how it’s like to work on a project as a side hobby and a bunch of entitled people hate on it without really providing any constructive feedback.
For someone that has contributed nothing to any of these projects you sure are an opinionated douche.
You should read the book Radical Candour. It will help you provide critical feedback in a respectful and empathic way. Saying “as a fellow dev…” is not a hall pass to light somebody’s work on fire, crap on their tech stack decisions, and claim your opinion is fact.
Strong opinions are good. I appreciate strong opinions. I have many of my own. And i know you’re excited for this app and that it’s become a daily staple for you so you want it to succeed. But React Native is not a bad technology stack. In its nearly 10 years it has evolved and improved dramatically. Huge apps are written in React Native. I bet you use, or have used, some of them and don’t even know.
Technology is a tool. You can write great software and equally bad software in any language or stack. I’ve used a lot of terrible iOS apps, and I’m sure some of them were written in Swift. A language or tech stack is not inherently bad, and claiming such is not constructive feedback, it’s being an asshole.
Don’t be an asshole.
Hi fellow, you’re actually pretty rude. Even your « I apology » comment is not an apology at all.
As an IOS dev, swift engineer, major critic bla bla bla, you should know that there are more constructive ways of providing feedback.
