Hey Andrew. Check out my experimental app WonderSwipe. Where first app view I recently changed to Google Trending searches of the day, and every search summarizes all the articles in search results. Summaries can be read aloud by TTS too.
I’ve been thinking about melding this algorithmic take of news, search summarization…
The moral of the RN story is don’t be half assed. Is 10x rebuild/iteration time reduction and JavaScript being at least 2x less verbose/tedious as either ObjC and Java code, on top of typical 90% JS code reuse between the platforms; is that worth switching from native for you? Then fully commit to progressively rewriting your app to 100% React Native…
My peer review of your peer review system: How does Proffer guard against a bad-actor botnet?
I believe you believe that online systems have more legit users than bad actors whose sole purpose is to game the system, but I’m not sure that belief holds true anymore generally online. Let’s say, specifically, if bot signups have…
I hope so too! I get asked too many times where’s the Android version, kinda annoying. Haha.
WonderSwipe is built with React Native. So I believe we are already about 80% of the way to an Android version. It’s just a different platform and we’ll need time to test and polish any quirks. Thanks for your interest truly, and…
Leave capitalism out of overly broad grandstanding. Narrow it instead to the crux: it’s advertising driven business models that may need reform and regulation.

What’s the technological solutions against fake news? I propose social highlighting that drives “viral” sharing of gems hidden in the avalanche of news.
The problem of our time is TMI. We have information over-abundance. As such, we need better filters to surface quality over quantity.
How do you know that? Do you know how their software works, really works? How they don’t work? Only then are you qualified to say whether there’s a solution but “they are afraid to do so”, or there can be none.
I’m a technologist. I’m with you that disalignment of users’ attention and advertising profits are root causes of…
I understand what you wrote. But you haven’t understood the unsustainability of today’s attention economy. You can’t keep ramping up time spent per user, there’s only 24 hours in a day unfortunately. 🤷🏻♂️
So the new trend as Zuck have tried to be sincere/diplomatic about, is to focus on more “time well spent”, not ever…
