push notifications are not related to phone number, but rather to a randomly generated token in app.


I had a very quick glance at docs website, from Comparison page it says it uses native components, which is great. However, I did not find anything related to platform specific API usage, such as embedding camera into your view or using notification groups/channels? Is there a way to "offload" these parts to android, similar to what CMP allows you to do? (You can embed native iOS views inside Compose view or use expect/actual)


Why not suggest this in the PR? Seems like it could be used in pipeline to decrease size further down


Great tool, definitely will come in handy


And that reminds me of Andrzej Sapkowski and CD Project Red deal

> “I was stupid enough to sell them rights to the whole bunch,” Sapkowski said at the time. “They offered me a percentage of their profits. I said, ‘No, there will be no profit at all — give me all my money right now! The whole amount.’ It was stupid. I was stupid enough to leave everything in their hands because I didn’t believe in their success. But who could foresee their success? I couldn’t.”

Do you think he would have returned the lump sum if the game failed and they went broke?

You give up risk when you ask for a lump sum


Why not split the difference? A lump sum and a smaller percentage.


For the author? Since he didnt believe in it, any slice would have been timny. His regret and words would likely be close to the same.


And one could argue that the gamemakers were much more motivated to create a successful product when they started out in the red, but got the keep all of any profits.


CD Projekt Red is a computer game company who created a game based on sapkowski’s books. The games and company did very well.


That's the point. He gave up royalties for a lump sum, when the game seems to currently be the 23rd best-selling game of all time.

I actually started Drawabox for the same reason, and I must say that I like that change of mindset. It's feels good to start digging into something that is not directly related to software.
