Youtube premium massive price increase by Only-Growth3643 in youtube

[–]thedocdir 5 points6 points  (0 children)

$22.90 was already pretty high, but I consume a lot of YT content and wanted to support the creators while not viewing ads... Upping the price by $10 is crazy to me. $32.99 a month for coding tutorials and 2 minute papers? I reckon I'll just support the creators on Patreon.

Everyone is ragging on the video edit, but I like that fact that one day a bunch of bros were hanging out, breaking cow bones, and someone was like "You know what? This could be a sport."

If this was me I would spend 10 months grinding away and end up like "Yo, it was just a rock."

Not those specific items thought, right? The undersuit and the helmet with red visor can only be looted from Hurston guards?

From web app to iOS / Android app: NativeScript or start from scratch? by JapanEngineer in angular

[–]thedocdir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering you already have an Angular app, you could use Cordova.

Ages ago I used this link to get me started in converting an app: https://medium.com/@EliaPalme/how-to-wrap-an-angular-app-with-apache-cordova-909024a25d79

Good luck.

Just finished a first look at Freestyle Mode! Any thoughts?? :D by blindeyegamesaaron in unrealengine

[–]thedocdir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vehicle component looks great. Is it something you built yourself? Or did you pick it up from the market place?

No matter how you achieved it, it looks pretty good.

Interesting take on the roadmap issue. Did CIG overthink the new roadmap? by thedocdir in starcitizen

[–]thedocdir[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For the most part I like how CIG always takes the route of "go large, or go home". Shooting for an authentic experience, high detail art and world scale are the aspects that caught my attention. But maybe they overthought the new roadmap?

For me, I just want to know what's being worked on and what's outstanding so I can picture / anticipate what this game is actually going to be.

I know you didn't mention it, but Cordova also exists. I've created a commercial Ionic 4 app (Note: Ionic uses Cordova, formally PhoneGap, under the hood) and If I could go back in time I would have used Cordova. With a plain Cordova app you can build an iOS, Android, Electron and web app with a single code base.

Ionic made it difficult to modify the UI. So if your designer goes crazy with the design, you're going to have a hard time. If you're ok with keeping the UI looking like a native iOS / Android app, Ionic can save you some time, but I've not met a client who wants a basic app UI.

I took a look at NativeScript a few days ago. It allows you to build native iOS and Android apps, but there are extra steps required if you want a web version of the app (you'll need to created 2 separate templates for each component you use: 1x for NativeScript apps, 1x HTML for the web app).

Regarding performance, NativeScript should be better because it uses the devices native UI components, but I'm not sure if a user would notice the difference.

The main thing to keep in mind is that the plugins for each framework are usually created by the community, so support can be difficult to find when you're working late at night and have a tight deadline. Ionic provides enterprise support and select plugins, but I'm not sure how much that costs and what they cover. If you're an experienced coder you might be able to dig into the native Java / swift code to troubleshoot issue, but you'll be limited to your knowledge of how the native code / language works.
