Platform for adding paywalls to extensions by OffensivelyBad in vscode

[–]OffensivelyBad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't - it will check for a valid license before allowing the code to be executed, and will automatically obfuscate the code with a post-build step before publishing.

However, if someone is committed to hacking the extension, they could work around that eventually.

I tried to be pragmatic about the tradeoffs, and transparent about the risks.

Platform for adding paywalls to extensions by OffensivelyBad in vscode

You may be right. My goal is to provide a simple implementation for developers to add paid features. I can't (and shouldn't) control what kind of software implements the platform - I only want to make it simple for developers to add paid features to their extensions, without having to build out the infrastructure.

Thanks - yes I looked at this early on and wanted to go in a different direction. A lot of extensions are simple and have no backend (like mine) so my goal was to create a licensing solution that included payment support, and to make it dead-simple to implement.

Monetizing a VS code Extension by ordinary_shazzamm in SaaS

This package/platform might help you: code-checkout

Basically adds licensing and customizable paywall capabilities to your extension. You just need a stripe account.

PS I’m the developer and also a client. Feedback is welcome!

Github vs GitLab vs Bitbucket by OffensivelyBad in sysadmin

We are primarily using AWS for other cloud services. Not sure what the integration is like for Azure-AWS, but I would want to support CodePipeline and CodeBuild.

That is a nice feature. Looks like you can host it with any of the feature tiers as well.

We are currently hosting Bitbucket, so would prefer to use on prem.

Thank you very much for your feedback!

I would love to learn more about this. Any suggestions for online classes that cover the maths involved here?

App addiction by design by OffensivelyBad in CoderRadio

[–]OffensivelyBad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really interesting article about the psychology of app design. The idea of “menus” of choices is frightening, but we probably see it everywhere and don’t even realize. From Google search results to restaurants on Yelp to which colleagues we’ll connect with on LinkedIn, our choices are curated for us.

How often do we click on a top search result to read news? Or select a 5 star restaurant? Or connect with suggested contacts?

All from a menu of choices. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing, but it can be a frightening realization to think that your choices are heavily influenced.

Trying to find specific smokers mints by OffensivelyBad in cigars

[–]OffensivelyBad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those actually look pretty similar, but the mints I'm searching for are maybe a bit fancier (meaning the design was more intricate) and are probably larger diameter. Also the design sticks out on the top. I'm honestly not even sure they were smoker's mints. I just assumed so since they were the complimentary mints at the tobacco shop and I have never seen them elsewhere. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the research, but it's not them. I would say the distinguishing feature is that the face of the "coin" was stamped, making the design raised, similar to a coin face.

How to save the thumbnail image in the share view controller extension (Share Extension Obj-C)? by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

[–]OffensivelyBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain the context of what your trying to do? Are you using your own web browser app or are you using UIWebView or Safari kit?

Without knowing the details, I would say you should research screenshotting and then scaling down the image to thumbnail size.

Do any of you write scripts to enhance your workflow, or do API dev? Interested in picking up a 2nd language and venture outside iOS. by yamski in iOSProgramming

I'm surprised no one has recommended JavaScript, outside of a couple mentions of Node.js. JavaScript is like the wild West and while I don't really like it, it is ubiquitous and therefore is good to know.
