David Heinemeier Hansson·2yNative mobile apps are optional for B2B startups in 2024
Native mobile apps are becoming optional for B2B startups in 2024, with Progressive Web Applications (PWAs) emerging as a viable alternative. PWAs offer simplified development with one code base and one deployment path, making it easier for startups to enter the market without the need for a large native development team. The recent support for PWAs by Apple, including features like Add To Home Screen and Web Push Notifications, has further solidified their viability. As a result, it is now recommended that B2B startups prioritize web development first before considering native app development.

ProAndroidDev·2ySealed Classes: When to use them? How are they different from Enum Classes?
Sealed classes are similar to classes: the set of values for an enum type is also restricted, but each enum constant exists only as a single instance, whereas a subclass of a sealed class can have multiple instances, each with its own state. Sealed classes can store heterogeneous types of data in their subclasses. They are commonly used for API response handling in Kotlin.
