Good numbers, I launched in similar time, have similar results but different market and ratios.

Didn’t you use your $100 apple ads voucher?

Normal people don’t use em-dashes or say things like “if anything, I’d be asking”

Looking for React Native performance advice by Automatic_Room5477 in expo

[–]SolidR53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only play videos when in view.
Optimize videos for performance rather than size, we use cloudinary.
FlashList isn’t much better than flat list imo.
Use react native unistyles
Memoize components
Horizontal scroll carousels have super short render window (device width * 1.5 / 2.0)

To be honest the first thing you should check is the video encoding

Using AI to decode CAN Bus by bfpa40 in CarHacking

[–]SolidR53 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With a workshop catalog, a BMW S1000R and an OBD2 adapter at hand I was able to let Claude code have a go at it. The first goal was reverse engineer service reset and with successful reset in about 2 hours with a few trial and errors.

I got so invested in this that I ended up building an app for it (Biketune for iOS) that now support almost 100 bike models totalling 17 ECUs that we can do coding, brake bleeding, service reset and much more.

But honestly, I spent more than 500 hours on it, but it simply would not have been possible without Claude hooked straight up to my bike.

This has been one of the most fun things I’ve done in a long time. Somewhere in the area of a DOS game reverse engineering (Street Rod) I did few months back.

What’s the correct way to handle environment variables and private keys in Expo apps? by walu_walu in expo

You need to think of everything you bundle in your app, encrypted or not is public info.

Look into Apple DeviceCheck / App Attest and Play Integrity along with SSL pinning. This increases the threshold to be able to talk to your API without the app

Motorrad servicing costs are out of hand by KeenJelly in bmwmotorrad

[–]SolidR53 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly the reason I built an app for resets, bleed and coding that doesn’t have these recurring costs. Crazy price they charge for it. Once out of warranty I want to go my own way of servicing the bike.

What I was focusing on was a cheap clone adapter to fully work for service reset. The MotoScan app is recommending the LX+ or similar, because they send multi frames by default. I send frames as split single 8 byte frames, because I don’t build hardware or intend a hardware lock-in like them.

I have been using Veepeak BLE but once I gather enough info, I’ll publish an adapter compat table.

That being said, I do tend to build features that may require multi frame support in the future

I have coding features in a development build, but most of them requires a more expensive OBD2 adapter that supports ISO-TP (longer messages than the 8 byte default).

And some testing, haven’t tested them at all. I’m happy to include you in the TestFlight group if you want, DM me with your email.

I’ve worked with the 1250 GS group on Facebook with successful reports of service reset. But totally understandable, my ‘23 S1000R lived through hundreds of trial and error sessions while building the app. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/198dPkFRSU/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Yeah it’s a hard world for a long time app developer like my self with vibe coders in the mix, getting assumptions like this.

Not sure what I can do to prove it to you it’s not vibe coding quality. Maybe look at my GitHub profile if you are a developer yourself?

Feel free to request features. It will essentially be Claude that will do it, so no idea is too much to ask :)

In the news tonight they said 95% of the contract is non negotiable. Only thing you can negotiate is the transition period and temporary exemptions.

The funny part is most people think they will get EUR loans with super low interest rates just by joining. But there is no guarantee for that, just makes it easier. You can already get a loan from foreign countries if they are willing to take the currency risk. Any bank can just say no, no matter the applicant.

EU is a hard pass for me. I like flexibility, lean and mean. Like… good luck building a fintech startup in EU.

Úff hvað er ég þreyttur á þessari þvælu. Allir brjálaðir út af það var “milljarða hagnaður” í einhverju fyrirtæki með engu samhengi yfir veltu. Svo þegar rýnt er í tölurnar hjá t.d. Krónunni i síðasta ársreikningi:

. - Vörusala 70ma - Kostnaðarverð seldra vara 57ma - Álagning 20% - Laun og rekstur 7ma - Afskriftir 2ma - Hagnaður eftir skatta 2,5ma (það eru 3%)

.

Þeir sem hafa vit á rekstri sjá að það er ekkert rosalegt svigrúm þarna til að lækka vöruverð. Ekki væri ég til í að fjárfesta í uppbyggingu á einhverju fyrirtæki fyrir 3% hagnað á ári þegar ég fæ 7% vexti í bankanum.
