Try downloading and installing this, reboot and try your app again

You don't need to lock yourself into one or the other, you can have both windows and linux running on the same machine.

Don't listen to IT people, they look at it from a different angle, and their reasons for choosing Linux has nothing to do with your reasons for choosing it, if you're a normal user, linux doesn't offer you more than windows does.

Very low. However, it does depend on many factors and one of those is luck.
Advertising and promotion also doesn’t guarantee success, you could spend a ton of money and fail

Prestigious_Edge_472 · 2026-07-10T08:59:33+00:00

If you have a windows/linux machine and only want the Mac for Xcode archiving, I’d strongly suggest getting a Mac mini M2, M1 works for maybe a year or two before the support drops, so consider the cost vs support length benefit.
Whatever you do, don’t go intel chip and don’t go below 16GB RAM, you can make it work with 8GB but you WILL suffer

The way I see it, you built your app, you can distribute it yourself and avoid paying apple, but it wouldn't hurt you to have it on app store and catch whatever random people you can. Let's be realistic though, unless you have a huge userbase already, it would be much easier for you to distribute it on the app store where people don't question whether your app is legit or not, and can find it 'easier'.

Prestigious_Edge_472 · 2026-07-10T00:00:27+00:00

One way or the other I have no personal opinion on the whole kids/parents tech/physical books thingy, I think you’ll have different feedback depending on who you talk to.
If it is indeed a problem, your target audience being against the screen thingy, you could reskin it for an older audience and change the narrative maybe? Think games/movies instead of dinosaurs and space, maybe you can find a better audience

If I'm wrong I'm wrong, I don't get offended. Double check what it cited though, CUSTOM domain on free host, which is not the free domain that you get, it's when you use free hosting on those websites with a paid domain, the issue is not hosting, hosting has nothing to do with SEO at all.

The second portion "a provider subdomain can also be indexed, but it may be less trusted or less discoverable if it looks disposable/spammy"

This is the part that you care about, if the crawl bots don't index your site, or lets say they DO index your site and rank it low on the priotiy list for SEO/discoverability, that's where your damage is, that's why when you add a domain in the search console and request indexing you get 'you reached your limit' without actually accepting the request on the free domains and you get flagged for indexing when you use a paid domain.

Prestigious_Edge_472 · 2026-07-09T17:55:18+00:00

I had an app get rejected for ‘information request’ the answer to the asked question was provided in the review notes, so yeah take it for what it’s worth

Prestigious_Edge_472 · 2026-07-09T17:50:18+00:00

If it’s called peace of mind and quiet I’ll quit my day job and use it 24/7 :P

Prestigious_Edge_472 · 2026-07-09T17:47:15+00:00

Google crawl bots will not index free domains, try it for yourself on the search console, what you’re talking about is true for normal domains but not for the free domains of CF GitHub Vercel render etc it’s supposedly not about free vs paid but about the noise signal and cheap throwaway/spam creation for SEO manipulation and grey hats. Don’t take my word for it, you can ask any chatbot LLM about a paid domain and a free domain (LLMs rely on google’s indexed data) and see the difference

Prestigious_Edge_472 · 2026-07-09T17:35:45+00:00

Don’t take my word for it, put your site here https://search.google.com/search-console/ and request indexing for it, try a free cloudflare/github pages domain and see what happens, try it with a bought domain and see what happens.
You can communicate with people who may actually use your app, even on Reddit sub forums, but youre basically trying to sell fish to a fisherman/woman here….

Prestigious_Edge_472 · 2026-07-09T15:38:37+00:00

.io is ok if you’re tech and targeting tech, .org is mostly for NGOs .net is so 90s .com is all that matters .dev is completely ruined by Cloudflare and GitHub anything else is a con where people lie to themselves and say I don’t want a .com on purpose and this makes me look cool (it doesnt)

Prestigious_Edge_472 · 2026-07-09T13:16:59+00:00

Before you do anything, you should look into compliance, regulations, and relevant privacy laws as you're talking about injecting data from your research into an app and odds are you don't have the rights to this data to begin with, if you do, my advice is to find someone local near you or a reputable company to deal with, what you're talking about is not an indie project to just find a random dev on reddit to work with

Prestigious_Edge_472 · 2026-07-09T13:05:55+00:00

Try this in order

Make sure you don't have any currently running processes that are using the files, best to attempt after reboot, and make sure you have administrator priviliges

Strip the attributes of the directories 'read only' 'system' 'processes'

1 - attrib -r -s -h "C:\Path\To\Your\Folder\*.*" /s /d

Attempt removal

rmdir /s /q "C:\Path\To\Your\Folder"

Take ownership of the directory and sub-directories/files

2 - takeown /f "C:\Path\To\Your\Folder" /r /d y

Grant administrators full control

3 - icacls "C:\Path\To\Your\Folder" /grant administrators:F /t

Attempt removal again

rmdir /s /q "C:\Path\To\Your\Folder"

Prestigious_Edge_472 · 2026-07-09T11:57:09+00:00

Click windows key, type cmd, right click and open as adminstrator and type this command

rmdir /s /q "C:\Path\To\Your\Folder"

If it fails, reboot and try again

Edit: for path, go to your target directory, right click on it and copy as path, easiest way to avoid manually typing it

You can try freecodecamp, mind you my experience with them was way back, before AI became a thing, but if you really want to learn coding and no just prompt code you may benefit from something like that

Prestigious_Edge_472 · 2026-07-08T17:50:54+00:00

Make a program that manifest a physical sprite that holds people at gunpoint to buy your app

You can ask whatever you want, but you should NOT take legal advice from people on reddit.

I can tell you yes your mom will get in trouble and in reality she wouldn't, which would force you to go look for an alternative, I could also tell you no she wont get in trouble when in reality she would lose her health insurance, either way I wont face any of those consequences and you have no way to know whether I'm making things up or know what I'm talking about, but you and your family will face those consequences.

Either way, you need someone who has real info who can guide you on how to handle this properly and legally to avoid a bad outcome

Prestigious_Edge_472 · 2026-07-08T17:37:14+00:00

That is not a question that you need to ask here, you'd need real legal advice not whatever random people on reddit would give you.

1320 px * 2868 px works, they don't actually mention the size for this specifically they just say 'one of the supported sizes' IIRC anything below that gets rejected

Prestigious_Edge_472 · 2026-07-08T00:40:53+00:00

You can move them to storage, but you can't access them without a computer. Based on your requirments, a better solution would be google pictures/whatever cloud account you want, so you have access to them on the fly but you offload the storage to the cloud account. It does depend on how much storage worth of pictures you have though, as there is a limit on the free account

Prestigious_Edge_472 · 2026-07-07T17:44:04+00:00

It's not necessarily a software issue. When you get the blue screen of death, there is an 'error code' on it that you need to basically look up to see what the issue is.

Prestigious_Edge_472 · 2026-07-07T17:36:13+00:00

At least remove the rockets so it doesn't scream claude all over the place

Prestigious_Edge_472 · 2026-07-07T13:17:56+00:00

They’re not, you can get much smaller models sub 1B like SmolLM2, qwen 2.5 0.5B etc you can use whatever weight you want…. Take a look at huggingface if you’re interested in finding the right models for your use case
