I would change the name. It appears unprofessional and unintuitive.


How is it more unprofessional than “Slack” lol


Sorry what? XD. What would you name it?


you would know if you read the article :)


Are you sure? This seems to be the full article:

> www.rd.com

> Checking if the site connection is secure

> www.rd.com needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding.


weird, maybe you have to send them your blood, fingerprints, and a list of your favorite laundry detergents in order to get through?


From the Guidelines:

>Please don't comment on whether someone read an article.

Which you'd know if you read the guidelines (:

Tried the app on two different phones with two different USA numbers. Never received the OTP on either. What if this happens when executing a transaction that requires OTP?


UPI transactions thankfully don't need an OTP for verification. As long as you have internet, your payments should work fine

You'll just have to enter the transaction PIN (which you decide while creating the account).

Sim binding generally fails because the individual is unable to send an sms due to recharge/network issues. Can you raise a ticket with the support team? Someone will quickly get in touch and help you onboard.


Thanks, we don't want people like you visiting either.


People that want to be able to pay for things during their stay?


> I imagine two devs could maintain the app. I've certainly managed more complex apps myself.

There's always a guy like you on threads like this. You are either incredibly naive or think way too much about yourself.


I mean, Twitter/X is still chugging along despite all of the cries that it was going to collapse. He might not be fully wrong.


What is your monetization strategy with this app?


Nothing. It's a passion project of mine. I accept donations to cover the Apple Developer Program fees.


There would be a lot of value in whitelist and audit features for IT to manage their risk when letting developers install applications themselves (if not also a binary repository).

One model (and possible partner) here is Sonatype, with a growth path into binary repositories for development (Swift packages, cocoa pods et al).

I realize you might not want the burden, but you might partner with someone or some company. (And I would encourage others to collaborate before forking.)


It has an MIT license on GitHub

I am not a license expert, but doesn't MIT mean we can build upon it with proprietary changes and then sell it as proprietary software?


Yes. You can also sell the project as-is with zero changes if you want. The only thing you have to be wary of is trademarks, which normally aren't covered under standard OSS licenses.


Yes.


Does everything have to have a monetization strategy?


As a user of an app, its always a fair question to ask.

"Free" usually means you are the product.


No, capital F Free (as in freedom ) usually does not mean that. Closed source and gratis often do.

You're not "the product" for the Apache web server or the Linux kernel...


"Open Source" means you are not though.


I don't want to be the "product" of this free app.


I love the guy's actual answer. It's always interesting to see this be a question. What is yum's monetization strategy? What is apt's? Does any package manager have a monetization strategy? If anything, they might be components to a larger distro that itself sells enterprise support packages, but the software itself is rarely if ever monetized. Homebrew is BSD-licensed and currently run by a nonprofit. The original developer never tried to make it into a product and "monetized" by parlaying the experience he gained doing it into highly paid engineering jobs in spite of having no formal training in computer science or software development, and eventually started his own company when he got tired of working for Apple.


This being HN, I can't tell if this comment is a joke or not.


Source?


First party: go to the settings and look.


Oh no, will someone think of the poor companies!


ITT: Bunch of white dudes deciding on my behalf if Raj's character should offend my Indian sensibilities or not.


> Easy enough to turn all of these things off. You're describing a setting.

Can you turn off all of these in Chrome?


I can turn it off on Android and MacOS. I would imagine iOS has a similar setting to MacOS for letting an app use Bluetooth.
