That's awesome! Thanks for sharing. I'll definitely use that from now on, great work.

One thing I noticed after creating a simple button component was that it does not export the font family of the text within but that might be a Figma limitation.

> while the company takes up to 70% of the proceeds, a BBC investigation found.

I’m thinking it’s not possible for TikTok to take 70% of the proceeds if there’s App Store fees and sales taxes / VAT involved.

But please show me the math if I’m wrong.

I think their system works like this:

You buy two coins for $0.02 and they give one diamond or $0.01 to the recipient. This looks like a 50% cut but after App Store fees and taxes it's more like 25%.

Still bad but not 70% as implied in the article.

TikTok gifts are not charitable donations. They are in-app purchases. For every gift you buy, streamers earn "diamonds" which can be withdrawn for cash.

You cannot built this kind of functionality without giving Google/Apple a 30% cut, plus they collect sales tax and VAT on your behalf.

I'll give you an example. If I sell an in-app purchase for a price of £1 in the UK, £0.17 go to the government, and £0.25 to Apple/Google. I'm left with £0.58!

It's funny how these journalists spend all this time researching these stories but miss a very important point - Google and Apple take a 30% cut off in-app purchases. Governments take sales taxes/VAT as well - up to 25% in some European countries.

It's not TikTok pocketing 70%.

The App Review Guidelines at 4.3) Spam states: the App Store has enough ... dating apps. We will reject these apps unless they provide a unique, high-quality experience.

Does the App Store accept any new dating apps at all? How high is the bar set for the definition of unique high-quality experience? I'd hate to invest time and money into creating an iOS app just to have it rejected.

I'll try to ask this question on October 17th in the App Store Slack channel they've created but I'm just wondering what you all think here.

I'm trying to clone a repo at a whopping 6KB/s from Kenya.

EDIT: Seems to be a routing issue. I've enabled a UK VPN and it's working fine now.

Not related to semiconductors but I've recently bought a ring with a lab made silicon carbide moissanite crystal.

They're incredibly beautiful and I think a good alternative to diamonds:

I'd try to make an appointment at the "Genius Bar" and talking to someone about it. If it's a common issue, they might replace it for free if you're lucky.

They generally have a tiered repair pricing model and I think minor issues like the flex cable would cost around the cheaper price you've been quoted for and replacing the whole display would be the higher price.
