I am looking to experiment with ecommerce a bit and Ive signed up for shopify trials but since I want to extensively customize my store, learning liquid has been something i keep procrastinating on and this seems like a more approachable and affordable way to launch experimental stores but I want to understand what exactly you offer.

You're charging $5/month for the front end and hosting of the tiny store/website and on top of that I need to have the additional $9/month shopify lite plan correct?


That's right. You will end up having a bill of $14/month in total instead of $29 for the basic plan. TinyStore doesn't offer much customization atm. You can add pages, announcement banner, logo and social handles. With more feedback from users, I can improve the store with more features in the future.


What does this allow you to do?


I'm not sure about other applications, but headless Canvas with Node is pretty nice. There are some other libs that do the same thing (that one goal at least) but this one looks tidier to use.


I guess it could make SSR easier for canvas based components. But how to translate that canvas state from server to client would be pretty interesting however.


Holy guac, room temperature superconductivity seems almost science fiction-y but just imagine the disruption it would make. I would be particularly excited to experience how much electric motors and energy transfer/storage and conversion would improve.


Apparently they reached superconductivity at 3K. Hardly room temperature.


The thing is they can use it to understand superconductivity because there are vastly fewer variables involved. It could lead to room-temperature superconductivity, assuming it even exists.


However this method is completely different and thus might open more options


Vs. cryogenic superconductors is a radically different phenomenon.


And death rays. Don't forget about the death rays!


Reddit has gone through many changes both in the product and the organization.. I feel like its initial purpose/mission has been lost in the way that it was intended as an open space to share things. I do absolutely hate the redesign and hate having to type the URL out.. the redesign is more tedious and eats up data like mad


You can set a preference in your user settings to prefer the old design and automatically get that on any reddit link you click.


it still randomly switch to new design once in a while. a refresh fixes it.


As an extension, not only is Apple guilty of the absurd 30% tax on IAP, Google does it too and I think its very unfair that you cannot choose your own payment processor. Apple and Google should be viewed as an oligarchy of some sort being that they control almost all of the mobile market. The fact that there is almost no oversight to their business practices and their ability to literally take any app off the market or charge whatever processing fee they want is ridiculous. Its not like any company can also just set out to build their own app store since Google and specially Apple would never allow them to compete. I could go on this topic for days since I just know how much mobile developers are so vulnerable and powerless against the app stores.


The unfortunate reality of the situation is that a lot of these disparities have to do with culture. Wealthier neighborhoods tend to be white and asian as those cultures tend to instill pursuing a higher level of education in their children as well as a few other positive values I could mention.. As long as politically correct leftists (a majority in this country) keep turning a blind eye away from these hard truths, and refuse to put their boot on the ground, these communities will unfortunately continue to be afflicted by their own culture.


Sure but I think this really applies to industries under a free market in general however the dynamics in the tech sector are such that a single person with little to no startup capital can create something with paranormal returns and that is really what indies are after (perhaps after having their idea come to life). I wonder if there any other industries that have this same allure


Great suggestion but from what I've read there really isn't a way to detect uninstall events on Android.


Can you infer uninstalls from heuristics? If you're collecting activity metrics for app interactions and you get a complete dropoff for a given user, could you assume they have uninstalled? Even if they havent, checking in on decreased engagement might be an opportunity to get them before they uninstall.

Not sure what the timeframe is between a user trying it out and subsequently uninstalling, but if there is a bit of a time gap, the decreased interaction analytics could be a used as a leading indicator of pending uninstallation and used to trigger a win-back attempt?


Well it obviously has a negative effect but the reports are giving me 10 crashes per day and there are 100 more uninstalls so even if 1 crash = 1 uninstall, why are the other 90 ppl uninstalling...


Ah, I see; I was interpreting "a few crashes per day" as "a user will see a few crashes per day", which I understand now not to be the case. That being said, the sibling comment here suggesting that some crashes might not be reported is an interesting thing to think about, although I don't know nearly enough about mobile device to know how to tell if that's happening.


Or maybe 100 crashed, but only 10 made to report it.


Well I think I have a retention/engagement problem that I don't know how to troubleshoot. Most of the users who sign up for the free trial stick around and pay. So it's not like I am not seeing any sign ups.


Why not make installation part of the free trial?
