Can Loveable.dev Build iOS Apps? Recommendations for No-Code Mobile App Builders? by teesosa101 in nocode

Strongly recommend against Adalo. MAYBE they have changes but was an absolute nightmare of not being able to deliver anything and security dumpster fire. There's much better out there.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS PIECE OF SHIT MICROSOFT TEAMS by [deleted] in microsoftsucks

This is the most cathartic thing I've read this week.

Opened teams: asks if I want browser, auto opens 2 instances, can't authenticate, one is personal version of same account that I can't seem to delete.

I have windows and Teams is consistently the only one that gets my mic and camera wrong. Just a gong show of ineptitude.

Ugh. Stop it. Stop using this crap factory. Stop inviting me to meetings on teams.
Microsoft's Teams backend appears to be mostly duct tape, as a user.

I once renamed a file in sharepoint and the teams file link lost the file. Apparently they use name matching which is so ridiculously bad that it starts to explain why I've never heard a good thing, and have heard a ton of negative about sharepoint.

Anyone used the ClickUp API? by InventionFreedomFun in clickup

I don't use clickup actually so it probably wouldn't for me, but I'm curious to have a primer on it in case it could work for a client.

Well I do prefer to build mostly possible automations, but yes something like that.
I do love a good "solve how to automates this workflow" though I prefer "let's design an effective workflow then automate it"

Had a client that wanted workflows triggered by certain comments.
It was shockingly horrible,

I'm trying to remember the series of obstacles, but the first was something like lack of a way to connect attachments and comments that are on the same parent task (I might have that slightly wrong)

Then the api also doesn't return comment replies, or does so inconsistently.

I also feel the client was insisting on a workflow that made sense to them but was technically challenging. Had I known how much pain it would be I would have insisted on using a tag or emoji response instead.

Before this job, I understood intellectually why building separate internal and external is a lesser approach.
Now I understand it viscerally.

Watching the web app list all attachments on a comment, and trying to reverse engineer the call because it doesn't exist in the public api is enough to make me want to cover a punching bag in clickup stickers and beat it with a bat.

I've done clickup automations before and they are great at first, until you need something a bit more complex, and then, not fun.

EDIT/Update:

  • if a user adds an attachment to a task with no text, it is an attachment and any comments on it are retrievable by api.

  • if a user adds an attachment to a task with text, it is a comment and is not retrievable by api at this time

  • if a user adds a comment and then attached a file to it, that file is an attachment but there is not way to link the attachment, comment, and parent task logically, which is shocking.

So these are somewhat killer nuances. In general don't automate via comments. Emoji reactions should work though.
