devRant UWP client

3 years, 65 updates, 1.507 commits.
3 users donated a total of €16.97 (~€10.91 after Microsoft's fee), not enough for a payout, so I would say €0.

But it was still worth it, awesome community.

Oh no, someone hacked my PayPal account, and it seems... PayPal’s too, they can’t spell properly anymore 😰

You developed a completly free and open source app that was designed to do A, and it does exactly what it should.

Review from an user (2 stars out of 5):
"I tried it and it just does A, I would prefer it did B.
Thank you, but I will look for a better option. Keep working, you have a lot of potential."

I really like the attention to detail Microsoft has put in their websites, they've replicated every aspect of Windows.
Not only the loading animations, the style of the UI, but also the random freezes and crashes.

That moment of satisfaction when someone in Antarctica has downloaded your app. 🤗

Seems legit to me 👍

My boss.
I don't know why he exists, he's unproductive.

Being a WhatsApp beta tester is such an interesting experience...

“Things to test:”

I'm working on a redesign of a website and their logo is so bad… (I made it years ago, but ssshhh)…
And they love it so much, so I can't even change it.

It's killing my creativity, because the only way you can put it seems to be at the top, inside a white header.

I hate its' designer so much… and it's me! Fuck myself.
I designed it thinking about a particular website look, so it was perfect back then, but now I have to do something "new", "different", but without changing the logo.

Any suggestion on where to put it, how, or how kill myself?

So many ideas, dreams, creative thoughts… but no time to make them true. fml

The LinkedIn suggested answers are surely generated by some kind of very sophisticated and clever AI. 🤔

- "Hi Jakub, are you still interested in remote work only?"
- "Haha"

That avatar looks familiar… 🤔

When you're working on an uni project with a fucking idiot who tests stuff with this kind of messages and then forget to remove them a few days before the deadline… fml.

I work at the frontend, he at the backend, so I shouldn't even have to check his code, but after seeing this I fucking have to.

Useless to say that he loaded these kind of placeholders also in the database.
So the admin name is "PieroGay", which is the name of the professor who will evaluate the project...

The worst thing is this bastard will graduate in 1 month, while I probably next year.

They've generated a very complicated PIN for my new SIM card… 🤔

So accurate... and if I try to call the customer care the recorded voice says the same exact thing: “minus....”

Try to beat me (have a slower internet connection).

When I had to postpone the release of v2 of devRant UWP for 3 months because I changed a few minutes before the final build a "loaded" event to a "loading" event.
Something that for some stupid reason I thought will make the startup faster (maybe by 2ms) has caused crashes on mobile and some Windows 10 versions.

Of course I didn't spend 3 months to find this bug, but at least a few days in December and then I didn't have enough free time so I had to stop until mid February when I finally fixed it.

To find the reason I reverted the code to the previous update and started to add every feature one by one.
So much time wasted for a fucking "-ing".

Versioning level 9000

I need the name of this code editor, looks really handy... 👀

Worst advice ever...

Adobe Crash Report crashed… nice

The perfect UI doesn't exis...

I was wondering why I never have space on my C: drive…
It seems that "Windows.old" which shows as only 500 MB in the explorer actually weighs almost 100 GB. 😑

This should be illegal.

Free private repos on GitHub!
Yeah… Microsoft is so bad... how dare they buy that platform and make it better?

Nice navigation menu, Microsoft.

1999 looks promising 😁

So… I released v2.0.0 of devRant UWP a few weeks ago.
Then I got a lot of reports of problems on Windows 10 Mobile and older (than 1809) versions of Windows 10 on Desktop.
I decided to resubmit v2.0.0-beta16 to the store, and try to find the issue in the update… I didn't find it.
The code seems the same as the working version (at least the part I try to test is 100% equal).

So it seems I fucked up the vs project.

This means that to find the issue I can spend weeks to search it over and over inside the latest project (using shitty emulators of older Windows 10 builds to debug it), or I could just restore it to the old v2.0.0-beta16 (released in august) and implement again every single new feature and fix (something like 5 new features, dozens of improvements, changes and bug fixes).

In any case, this will require a lot of time (which I don't have at this moment).
I'm really sorry for this inconvenience, I know some of you use my client daily (~3.000 users I guess), I'm really glad someone likes it, and thanks a lot for the awesome reviews and feedback, but stable v2 (v2.1.0 at this point) will be available not earlier than in February.

Probably some of you have already download v2.0.0 while it was available in the store, and maybe it works on your device (please let me know in the comments below if you did, how is it going, and also if you like the new features and improvements).

After this epic fail, and more than 1 year (way too much) of v2 public beta, I want to throw the current project in the trash, and start it from scratch.
Which means I will start to work on v3 as soon as you will see v2.1.0 in the store, making it faster, lighter and with better support for the latest Windows 10 (Fluent Design and not) features, dropping the support for the very old UWP API.

Thanks for your attention.

Have a good day (or night)!

The accuracy...

The Windows Phone Anniversary Update emulators don't fucking work as alwasy, so I have to debug my app on a VM with that version of Windows 10... fml 🙃
