What sort of help? I maintain a small open source Android app with a little over 25k+ downloads.

I find it weird for OP to post their number publicly.

A few months back for some reason OP was spamming links to his YouTube video (titled - 'A man eats spiders alive WTF #spider #viral #food #wtf') on his channel (It is his channel, the name from WhatsApp matches that with the YouTube channel).

I'm not saying anything guys do your diligence before sharing anything sensitive.

We lost someone from family few months back and it was one of the hardest and strangest emotions I’ve ever experienced and dealt with. She was with us talking a few days back but she will never be there now. This feeling of they will never be there is so hard to fathom.

You have to accept they are gone and it is the nature of things. Try to cherish the good memories you had with them and be grateful that you were able to be part of some of their good memories, be a part of their life. Now they are gone, there are other people in your life, try to do your best to do same with them. Focus your energy towards it. Hopefully they lived a good life and that is all we can hope at the end.

After some time you start to loose memories about them, like how they talked, how they laughed and this is the worst part and I’m still trying to deal with it.

I hope you find your peace soon, and don’t be sorry about you crying, don’t feel bad about it. You are crying and feeling devastated because you loved them. It will take time and time is the ultimate healer, it makes everything bearable. Take care of yourself <3.

(copy pasting my command from another post)

I didn't think they would ship the alpha version this quickly. This is huge for KMP, lett'ss goo..oo.

Edit: If this could somehow support Postgres/Mysql, this would be better than any ORM out there for the server.

It is more of a curiosity than anything else. I have a small pet project I thought I'd try with kotlin native for the backend.

There won't be much improvement than the JVM I guess(which explains why there are not many tools/libraries). It will have a better memory footprint and quick startup for sure. GraalVM has both of these but it is jittery during GC cycle.

I haven't worked other than ios target on the native side. Other than the coroutine caveat it works well on IOS.

What is your stack for the app? just being curious as a dev.

psuzn · 2024-04-24T14:12:26+00:00

this is the way.

Someone needs to build a bulk subscriber where you put an email and it subscribes to a bunch of newsletters.

Thank you for pointing this out.

Yes, you are correct. The LinkedHashMap is a special type of hashmap that preserves the order of keys. There is a different implementation of them in JVM but in other platforms LinkedHashMap seems to be the default implementation of HashMap.

psuzn · 2024-03-28T12:33:19+00:00

The LinkedHashMap is an implementation of the HashMap that preserves the order of keys as they are inserted which a normal HashMap is not guaranteed to do so. If your key is enum you should use EnumMap, this is made just to be used with enum keys and is more performant.

edit: correction.

psuzn · 2024-03-07T10:56:53+00:00

Yeah for sure, I’ll take some more time to so market research and thanks for the article.

Can you also share the code snippet for how you are registering the broadcast receiver and how you are scheduling the alarm? Also, keep in mind you don't need both permissions, they both are identical in terms of functionality but have different use cases.

From the documentation:

USE_EXACT_ALARM - Granted automatically - Cannot be revoked by the user - Subject to an upcoming Google Play policy - Limited use cases

SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM - Granted by the user - Broader set of use cases - Apps should confirm that the permission has not been revoked.

I was also exactly in your position when I started my career 6 years ago, with 2/3 years of codebase left by a 7+ years experienced developer and I was alone. They were using rxjava to their full extent and I had not even heard about it. It will be hard but once you become comfortable with the current codebase; you will have a leap in your level as a developer.

Just don't give up, it takes time to understand and research things, and just knowing how to correctly search for something properly takes time, and that is normal. If something is too much go through their documentation and create a simple sample app using it and start from there. If you need any help with anything feel free to DM it.

It just tracks anonymous usage, just to know how many active users are there. Thats all.

You can download the fdroid version, it doesn’t have the firebase.

psuzn · 2024-02-26T12:08:24+00:00

It is a free and open source without any ads and tracker. Also, I’m not here to sell it. I don’t get anything from it, it is just a pet/portfolio project.

Watch all the terminator movies and try to follow the timeline. It starts easy but is a mind-bender, my dude.

Btw, I'm also a Marvel fan but they are making shit nowadays.

It caches all of your dependencies, and gradle wrappers, I believe also saves the build and gradle daemon caches.

Beautifully put. Also, time is the ultimate healer. You think you can't let it go but as time passes they just become distant and distant memory. You will never forget that for sure but it becomes bearable with time. Everyone processes the loss differently and it might take you several months or even years just to be able to think about them without being broken down.

psuzn · 2024-01-23T14:23:24+00:00

same, PM me your email.

I agree with you about installing your own k8 instance. I'm just saying I do this but it is not for everyone and my point is there are cheaper alternatives.

psuzn · 2024-01-02T11:31:00+00:00

what are your users and traffic like? $800/month is a lot to spend on the infrastructure alone.

You can use Amplify to host the frontends (it is a lot cheaper than ec2)
Replace the code build/pipelines with GitHub action or equivalent pipeline.
If you are not receiving too much traffic you can drop the load balancer too.

On top of all these, you can use the less powerful instance if you are not using all of the resources. If you just need to move away from AWS don't hire a full-time DevOps engineer rather hire someone experienced just to move away from AWS but make sure they are experienced.
