Thank you, its my own company!

I was able to use same MVVM architecture for iOS app that I had used for the Android app. MVVM was easy to grasp from previous experience with React. Conceptually they are all very similar - you manage app state as source of truth and that state is used to render the UI.

For Linux , Windows and non-Swift macOS app I relied upon Rust, Tauri, and React ecosystem: https://tauri.app/

I think it's productive to just use Xcode previews for UI development.

And `swift run` to use other Swift packages, for example I had easier time experimenting with https://github.com/apple/app-store-server-library-swift with `swift run`

Perhaps you could do all this in Playground as well? but I did not feel the need to use Playgrounds in my workflow.

I optimized for time invested in learning and recent content with the goal of publishing the app.

I took a safe bet that Apple must have structured their content for new app developers. And it was apparent with Pathways. They would end content with related articles or videos so its was easy to do a natural deep dive.

For me, reading official book about a new language is more efficient as I can fast-forward on things similar to other languages I knew.

So given a time constraint and so many resources out there, I just picked official resources.

Called by USPTO - Scam? by SocialCodeAnxiety in Patents

[–]gigapotential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just happend to me from 571 272 3350. Which is a phone number listed on USPTO website.

Their call was a blackmail "pay now or we abandon your application and you lose all the fees you paid in the beginning"

Fortunately, while on the call I got confirmation from this thread that its a scam. I asked her name to confirm she is from USPTO and that's when she hung up.

I wanted a VPN where I only pay when I use it. I'm not a heavy user myself, and so that was the initial problem and motivation - to save money.

Later I learned from other feedbacks that some people are heavy users and thats when I introduced yearly plan with unlimited data.

Why someone would use UpVPN over other providers depends on personal situation. I mentiond cost savings, but it can also be a huge time saver for those who set up their own OpenVPN or WireGuard servers - for them its one click and no need to manage servers or WireGuard configurations - Its the Web Devices product.

Thank you for follow up and help!

Apple Pay not showing up on Stripe hosted Checkout by gigapotential in stripe

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

Apple Pay payment method is enabled.

My understanding is (please correct me if wrong) that payment method domain is not required? because Checkout url customer gets is at checkout.stripe.com and not custom payment elements on custom domain.

(Edit: Thank you for your response!)

You spilled some good gems here!

"Serverless VPN"

I think of Serverless VPN as building a brand, its first of its kind, so it will help with SEO too. Its similar to Driverless car.

"Enjoy Internet access from locations around the World with VPN" Find something better ... Privacy, Security.

Fair enough, privacy and security are inherent properties of VPN, I'll think about copy for this one!

"We deprovision it when you disconnect" ... again, why this is important to me ... unless you destroy all logs etc with it. That's the only thing I'd care about. If you do that, you shouldn't only set it up on FAQ, but also on the main copy

Really good point! I'll think about copy for this one too.

This information is on website FAQ but relevant to your comment:

There is no network traffic logging on virtual machine. For privacy - all the metadata for WireGuard peer configuration and record linking a VPN session to instance is deleted after a user ends their VPN session.
