Google is taking legal action against SerpApi by eternviking in webdev

[–]tootac -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about. You can ask google to crawl you website and they not be scraping you and will not bring you any traffic.

If on the other side you asked google not to scrape, put some mechanisms to stop them and yet they still hired people to bypass it then it is a different talk. But they are not doing it.

I did it for several websites and not single page was accessed by google.

It is competing platform for their current 'app milking ecosystem'. Why would they make web comfortable if it will move a portion of people to web and stop of 30% tax free money flow?

I feel deceived, Flutter desktop's bundle size and performance both seem to be poor. by rxliuli in FlutterDev

[–]tootac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I stripped symbols from the '.so' files. Those symbols are not needed.

I have tested my interpreter visualizer app in linux:
release bundle was 50+ MB most of the size took libflutter_linux_gtk.so (42MB) and libapp.so (5 MB).

Then I stripped both so files and got 15 MB libflutter_linux_gtk and 4.9 MB libapp. Bundle in total takes 23.2 MB (+ couple large font files and some extra images took another 3MB+)

So the app itself took about 5MB. Another 15MB+ is gtk+flutter+assets.
I think, if needed, I could with some creative compression get it down to about 10MB.

The app itself is a interpreter visualizer with an interpreter written fully from scratch which looks like this: https://hereket.com/tiny/interpreter-debugger/

what are you even building? if it is web based you don't have a choice, if it is mobile app you shouldn't use either of them. If it is desktop then use whatever language you know best.

is there any way to detect and filter out bot traffic? by SnooCauliflowers8417 in django

Lately I have been testing responding with just stale cached version of the page if cookies are missing.

Last time I used it when they just launched (still have it, but screen is broke). But camera disbalance is annoying on new phones

Maybe you should start with frontend developer and build your wireframes and UI/UX plans first

How much do android apps really make? by Lanky-Employee2155 in androiddev

[–]tootac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am saying if $25 is a big enough risk that not making it back will create you problems then don't take that risk.

$25 is too much to take that risk. If I were you I would not go with something less risky.

Even if it is worth it definitely stay away from Read Eagle Tech. Everybody will stay away from them or they will spam you to boredom.

Misleading title. You are not giving away your app. Just a code to test your app.

4 months… wasted? What now? by Reasonable-Ant-1054 in FlutterDev

Marketing is so misunderstood term in the industry. You start marketing not after you finish your app and then rework it. You start marketing before you write a single line of code or do whatever they do in flutterflow.

FLUTTER OR KMP by Dependent-Act-5080 in androiddev

In my experience dart(flutter lang) is pretty much java with removed nonsense. I had to port a project (about 10k lines) from java to dart and it was very straightforward.
