Seems like you guys set up a complicated stack. My large app takes <5s to build. Hot reloading takes 0.2ms.
We can agree to disagree though.

We can agree to disagree though.
Native apps can do similar things with dynamically linked libraries, and there's a lot of complexity when it comes to compiling native code.
The web bundler tooling really isn't that complex nowadays, especially with Vite. It's one file usually 10 lines long. It can use SWC and LightningCSS, written in Rust. They're safe, fast, and require minimal config.
SPA assets (just like game assets) can be downloaded and cached on demand. They don't have to be bundled at all.
Browsers can handle many GBs of storage. You can even store them via OPFS directly on the native filesystem if supported. There's also Chrome File Storage API and if all else fails IndexedDB (which is more limited, but works decent for synced databases).
Heavy use of interactivity is hard. React makes it maintainable. It was hell before.
I've been working with React (and RN) since it came out and I've had nothing but good experiences, especially compared to the previous decade before React.
My motto is local-first, the more stuff the client does, the cheaper it is to scale and less bridging between the server you have to do.
Move everything to the client, especially the database. Let the database do the syncing. Plus you get offline and undo/redo basically for free. Pagination? Fuggetaboutit.
What others are doing doesn't matter, that's whataboutism. Yes there's many shittier services, and Proton is much better than them.
What matters is if you can trust Proton to be private, and the answer is... mostly.
Yes I like Proton and I use Proton as my daily email driver, because I don't expect privacy from governments, I just don't want Google tracking.
But a lot of people see the "no logs" thing and think that there's never any logs, which is not true, they add them on request, and they've done it based on foreign government requests, for questionable searches, as I've linked above.
If you want privacy in your hands, use Tor when accessing Proton and pay in crypto obviously.
Those are techniques needed for privacy because they can access that data and you can't trust them to safeguard any data they can access because they legally can't.
It's not their fault, it's just the system, but you must expect it.
In their own policy:
> “In addition to the items listed in our privacy policy, in extreme criminal cases, ProtonMail may also be obligated to monitor the IP addresses which are being used to access the ProtonMail accounts which are engaged in criminal activities.”
So there's no question whether or not they do it, it's more of how often they do it and for what. The French case was a big deal because it didn't seem to meet the "extreme criminal case" threshold, and yet the logging was still carried out.
That's the flow of how government legal requests work with no-log vpn services.
What do you think "Orders complied with" means then?
Here's an instance of Proton adding logging of an activist's IP Address and Device ID after a request from the French authorities:
https://techcrunch.com/2021/09/06/protonmail-logged-ip-addre...
> French police sent a request to Swiss police via Europol to force the company to obtain the IP address of one of its users.
It's right there in the police report.
1. Government entity (usually the US or EU country) pressures the host country's government
2. Host country's government makes a legal request to the company for info on this user.
3. Company adds logging for that specific user.
4. Logging is provided to all those interested.
5. Host country prosecutes (potentially extradites).
There's a public accounting of this happening for Proton and Mullvad too iirc.
Either you make fast iteration acceptable, regardless of politics, or you fail.
It's not just political process either, it's the technical process. You need to be able to debug, fix, and manufacture the iterations quickly.
The only thing that basically stops you from being able to drive is your vision, which will impact biking as well.
Handicap and elderly people are not edge cases.
We adapt our society to fit the disabled everywhere, as we should.
My point is we should take this into account when designing cities.
Bikes do not work for many, many people and situations. It's not an edge case problem, it's a fundamental problem.
My grandmother can still go shopping in a car, but assuming she did have the stamina to bike groceries, if she fell she would not recover.
It's a local government issue that your public transportation and public zoning sucks.
Cars aren't the problem (as you pointed out, they are sweet in towns).
It's your local politicians and it's a scaling problem.
Don't you still need roads for those? So just normal civilians can't have them?
And I won't hold my breath for local politicians to improve public transportation.
I'd love better public transportation, in addition to cars.
-- I hit some sort of post limit, replying to below --
Civilians are still allowed to have and drive their own cars, even in Europe.
I'm all for better designed cities in America though, but it's not a car problem, and especially not a universal issue (towns are perfect).
Instead of hating on cars I think a more useful approach would be to contact your local politicians that are in charge of zoning and public transportation.
And no it doesn't solve the problems I listed. Those things are still difficult.
If I'm feeling sick I guess my wife can hook a wagon to the bike and pull me.
Don't get me wrong I bike around town all the time, but some days are really hot, some are really rainy, some days I need to carry more stuff than is possible on a bike, some days I'm not feeling well enough to bike.
You could go back to bicycles but that's not great when you have a family of groceries and kitty litter to carry home in the rain.
Or when need a trip to the hospital or any other emergency.
So yes, many people need a car, and it enables personal freedom.
I live in a small town you can walk end to end in 15 minutes, it has everything you need in a small area, but a car still makes life easier and more fun.
How do you propose we structure society where you don't need cars?
AutoPlay Studio and the one featured here makes full GUI apps.

Lua was my first language, and it enabled me to make desktop apps for tools I needed.
I think this is very much needed as a lot of kids learn Lua from Roblox and game mod communities.
but yes, even a personal statement may have some value in a case, but you ignored the second part of the GP's criticism.
you're reaching that the tweet of the poster of "Her" meant "hey guys, this is voiced by SJ"
it simply could mean that "hey guys, it sounds as good as the voice assistant from Her"
it is voice assistant software after all...
mind reading a tweet does not make a good case, especially with the timeline noted in TFA.
She's allowed to be a voice actor using her real voice.
Your can point to the "Her" tweet, but it's a pretty flimsy argument.
While rough, these do look better than some implementations of the artwork for cartoon games.
For anyone interested this is what I ended up with to fly around:
<a-entity
camera
look-controls="pointerLockEnabled: true;"
wasd-controls="enabled: true; fly: true; acceleration: 3000;"
></a-entity>
Now to fork and enable the FPV camera controls.
Great work!
But what's the excuse for the other American EV companies?
And again, you're not dealing with global mass production of materials, or are you?
That's the goal isn't it? Cheaper EVs for everyone to replace ICE cars?
I keep hearing about competitors, but I never see any of their EVs, new or used. I see Teslas everywhere.
And cheap model 3's may "hurt" Tesla, but it hurts every other EV maker too. Good for the consumer though.
Overall Tesla is producing more EVs than any American company by far.
Yes, meeting the semi production goal would have been nice, but I'd rather consumer car production be prioritized.
