> While it does cost $99 to get in the store, the app can be used by millions for no additional cost. Hosting fees for a web app will grow along with the user base. Even without users, a domain plus a basic hosting plan will easily be more than $99/year.

$99/year is just to host the 'client-side'. Most likely you still the backend so that cost is still the same.

Yep. Yet time after time “stock dropped after announcement” is trotted out as some sort of indicator of consumer sentiment whenever anyone is looking to start a silly flame war, because it’s convenient to temporarily ignore that share prices are already the result of 12-dimensional speed chess.


This is the best way for having a objc and c++ in same project.


As a kid I was more confused between Sweden and Sudan


I miss no access control for speaker. There is global default. I turn on speakers for one music app and at next launch another social media app plays their ads on full volume.
