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?
🤷🏻♂️
Happy to get criticism, but this sentence was not constructive in any way:
Sorry we don't know Swift, but I assume the same thing could happen in Swift if you started rewriting the entire state management in a Swift app. We chose to write it in React Native because we both know JS/React, but we wanted to focus on iOS because that's what we use. Saying it's partially our fault for not using Swift is not constructive.
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.
