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?

🤷🏻‍♂️

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.
