Its great they seem to be listening to you, they never really listened to me. F100 was brought about because they weren't listening, and the community had to do things they wanted because Xamarin weren't ever getting around to it.

A healthy ecosystem and easy bridging to native isn't a downside at all. But this article is saying look how awesome XF is at all these pretty animations and functions, which are mostly done by other components or custom native code. A

I understand the need for some apps to work on desktops, but I haven't personally done any of these before. Just iOS and Android, is all clients ever seem to ask me. So of course Flutter wouldn't work well for desktop atm. But FYI

I actually half built a solution where the Flutter engine was running on Xamarin (hence coded in C#), and got a basic hello world app running. It does have the downfall of slower boot times and larger file sizes though. But I abandoned it b

This post actually highlights more of XF's downfalls than positives. I've been a big XF developer for years, and XF has many positives but this example just shows that they needed SkiaSharp, Lottie, and native platform code just t

If you see the chart just below the first one, the actual tax rate is roughly median with the rest of the world. The CBPP[1] article explains further. While some countries offer low tax rates or incentives, they are to attract international

The tax breaks for the middle class are only temporary. Most CEO's are praising them because it's great for them and shareholders. Most CEO's acknowledge they will use the additional profits to perform share buy backs. While

Yes, it looks like they took a legitimate email, and added in that line causing all the fuss. That line is what seems out of place, and has the grammatical errors. The fact they mention Trillian also removes the legitimacy. Unless people ar

This email is completely unverified. Apple certainly has its targets on app generators, but not Xamarin, React Native or other similar technologies, that I have seen. The email contains grammatical errors and has not been received by any ot

Great concept. One issue with the dynamically appearing forms is you don't know how long they will go on for. This will lead to people abandoning the form even though they may be 1 step away from completion.

So you pay a few hundred dollars and wait a few days to a week every time you sign up to an online service such as Pay Pal for them to read over the terms and conditions. The same with any Microsoft, Google and Amazon accounts? Did you get

Thats the part that makes PayPal unbearable. As mentioned above I have had questions asked from my merchant provider over transactions but at no point did they freeze my account. They called me, sorted out the issue and my business kept run

I would just recommend getting a payment gateway and merchant account. I am with eWay which only costs $350 per year + 50 cents per transaction. My merchant account costs a bit less per year plus a percentage of the transaction which is les

Thanks rquantz. It wasn't meant to be a hate piece on PayPal or anything else other than just my thoughts on what had happened and events surrounding it. As I updated in my article it was there to let my customers know what had happened and

yes it is. I did look into it further once I received the email. My own fault for not reading the ToS throughly but I am not the only one who has been through it.

I have experienced support issues with PayPal as well. I once had a customer on a subscription that froze. It was a bug in their system and all I got from PayPal was "how are we sure they signed up for this subscription". In the end they di

I have never had my merchant account frozen for any period of time. There was once an issue when I first opened it. They called me, I told them what transactions had occured and why. They accepted it and continued on. In no time during that
