Can also mean annoying. As a general recommnedation, before naming a project or company something, always search whether it means something bad in the top 10 most spoken languages.
For portuguese/spanish, there is always a high chance of being a slang that is NSFW
In many countries it's already impossible to use just the web for banking. They either make you install rootkits on your computer or move you to their mobile apps
Why would Valve help Apple get marketshare (in the gaming category), when they can put the same effort into getting the games published to Linux (and the Steam Deck).
No one wants to invest time and effort to develop for a platform that has a horrible review process. You have to invest multiple people's months worth of work without knowing if that particular snapshot of your app will offend the reviwer.
The lack of native apps is the App Store reviews process fault.
It's amazing how SoundCloud had "everything" and they threw away. They had the unique Indy artists, they had the DJs and music producers, and they opted to move to compete with Spotify on a money loosing bet, without putting the effort to build the Player in at least every single platform supported.
They did even more harm to themselves by blocking open source players that were doing "their work for free".
If there is one big mistake they did early on was to block API access. The other one was to bet on "record labels contract" rather then becoming the source for Originals.
Last names are also not limited to ASCII. There all sorts of special caracters depending on the language like üáàãéèç-' (the single quote is specially important because its normally blocked due to SQL injection, but its a common character in italian/french/spanish names).
Preventing people from writing their own names because you decide to use a regexp from stackoverflow is also bad.
The scope is mutable. What was asked in the quote, is different from what it became when planing started and is different from what it endup 6 months down the road.
I've migrated away from Evernote when they converted their MacOS and iOS apps from native to "Electron based". Simple things you expect from a "note taking app" to handle, like, search through text files, or "selecting multiple notes" were severely limited due to the technology limitations.
You could only select 50 items per time in the new "javascript" based desktop version, because that was too much state for react to handle.
The other thing that they broke was the apple pencil support. Using it would result in several seconds of latency.
I was a paying customer at this time, I've canceled my subscription entirely. I checked the app a few times after that to see if they managed to improve anything, the didn't. It only got worst.
So, if you have a native app, you have a moat with it, don't ruin your only opportunity to stand out.
Have you considered sending a MR for the "very small" things that bugs you? GitLab team member here... I have a personal list of things I wish will be prioritized, but there is only much you can do with the scope the application has and the amount of coworkers. So when things really piss me off, I reserve some time and send a MR to fix that.
That's what I've done before joining the company, so it works ;)
Brazil unbanked population in 2011 was ~41%. Having a bank account was not a straightforward process and included higher costs for the vast majority of the population.
Having a bank account would normally means you get a card that could only withdraw money from an ATM. If you wanted a "debit" card that would cost more.
Credit card were something out of reach for many. Low income folks alternative for credit were to rely on general stores own credit bureau.
With the liberalization in the banking system and the many fintechs that disrupted the market, the unbanked number droped to a single digit in 2021, and with pix, many just skipped the debit card all together.
don't forget the "cloud cost engineer", just to figure out how much it will cost to run the 20 services that should have been part of your app with random ways of billing the usage of it
I work for GitLab (Disaster Recovery / Geographical Replication / Performance, etc)
