making a grades viewer app, name suggestions please?

(it will also have reminders for homework, gpa calculator, etc)

what would you guys think of a user-controlled news app? like people would posts stories, and users would control what content would be featured in their respective categories. then you would have a feed of all the categories you follow. story integrity will be controlled by users approval and by corroboration.

sound cool?

there is nothing more redundant then using .file as a file extension

do you guys think an alternative to the web would be a cool idea?

like an entire redesign of the protocols, languages, security, etc

just got an email from medium with my daily stories, and the second story had someone's devRant profile picture as the image for the story! good job @dfox, you are really making an impact!!! https://link.medium.com/jQptPbA2nU

do you guys who don't care so much about privacy use a vpn on public wifi hotspots?

and why would you?

i just bought a $5 digital ocean droplet, installed and set up openvpn, all from my phone.

😤😤😤

made my first dart server today, i already fucking love it!

i already used it for flutter, and previous node.js was my backend of choice.

i'd recommend strongly. no matter the platform for the frontend, web or mobile (or desktop app), you can use dart, and you can use it for the backend too!

it's like java but not shit.

can you guys look at the design of my app?

https://play.google.com/apps/...

kinda ugly imo.

also please fuck around and find bugs.

thanks!

ps it's my first flutter app

someone brought something to school today, a "ac receiver" or "av receiver" or something? he pointed it at the board and turn it off, and i heard he opened someone's email with it? does anyone know what this could be?

i haven't seen funnier comments on an article than this https://20somethingfinance.com/chea...

may do an extreme rpi project…

is a self driving go kart or self flying drone cooler?

and for the drone, i think it would be easier, what do you guys think?

please answer - also for the drone, is there a way i could get it to connect from anywhere (within reason)? i know if it were a cell phone, i could get a signal from anywhere, but i don't want to pay for a monthly plan.

making a self driving go kart controlled with a rpi, should i use python, java, dart, or something else? python seems like the obvious choice.

i plan on making it have google maps integrated, with netflix and music player, with a touchscreen.

i was thinking c++, but a gui with c++ didn't seem ideal.

what would you use?

also is an rpi too slow to make the go kart be *relatively* safe?

i recently made an app, tested it, everything worked, so i created a release apk and uploaded to the google play beta program.

then i downloaded the app in the airport, it didn't work. rip me.

i thought it might be a backend problem, so i logged into cpanel and google play console from my phone, tried looking at logs, etc.

no luck. i'll fix it when i get home i guess 😞

hey guys if any of you guys are good with legal stuff some help would be appreciated.

so there’s this brand tld, which i won’t state for privacy sake. it is, coincidentally, my last name. naturally, i thought it would be pretty cool if i could change my personal domain to <my first name>.<my last name> but after contacting them i did not get a response.

do you guys think i have any legal standing to get my domain? could anyone help?

cheap ass android phones for testing?
amazon links preferably

at lunch today with @UncreativeError and we both made algorithms for acsl, due by the end of lunch. @UncreativeError chose the boring way of starting it a few days before it was due. “start at lunch, finish at lunch,” that’s my motto.

made first project with material design https://poll.dah.wtf/ feedback please!

so on android you're supposed to do network stuff like sockets and http requests on a separate thread right. lazy me released an app with a line of code (i forget what it is) that allows me to make http requests in the main thread. rip

someone just asked me what's lmgtfy and i sent them a lmgtfy that searches "what's lmgtfy"

DID I FUCKING READ THAT RIGHT

why do i have an iphone?

well, let's start with the cons of android.

- its less secure. this isn't even arguable. it took the fbi a month or something (i forget) to break into an ios device

- permission, permissions, permissions. many of the android apps i use ask for the not obscure permissions.
· no, you don't need access to my contacts
· no, you don't need access to my camera to take notes
· no, you don't need access to my microphone to send messages
· no, you don't need access to my saved passwords to be a functioning calculator

- not being able to block some apps from an internet connection

- using an operating system created and maintained by an advertising company, aka no more privacy

- i like ios's cupertino more than material design, but that's just personal preference

pros of ios:

- being able to use imessage, at my school if you don't have an iphone you're just not allowed to be in the group chat

- the reliability. i've yet a data loss issue

- the design and feel. it just feels premium

- if i could afford it, ios seems like a lot of fun to develop for (running a hackintosh vm compiled a flutter app 2x as fast as it did on not-a-vm windows)

so that's why i like iphones
google sucks
