Pull Requests, Patience and our dance with Apple

about 2 months ago (Edited)

I may seem to have gone quiet for the past few days, but it’s not because I’m not working. Quite the opposite. Some nights I get too tired to write on this blog, and because I don’t want to type drunk, I simply go to bed.

It wasn’t that long ago when critical thoughts about developers were commonplace in my head. “They don’t communicate enough…” I would say, thinking it was just a bit of laziness on their part. I’ve apologized since, and I guess I keep on apologizing.

After a long chat this morning with my brother @joseamenac, we agreed to continue in the late afternoon with our projects. Of course, he gave me “homework,” so to speak, and I think I delivered. When he gets back, he will look at my pull requests and let me know where I messed things up, but that’s the nature of our collaborations. This has been the case since we were little kids, so I’m not only used to it, it’s how I function.

That said, I found myself staring at this little graphic provided by GitHub. As some of you know, GitHub may not be the only repository in the world, but it has become the standard these days, and I use it too. The graphic is fascinating to me, because although I have contributed over the years here and there, it’s only this year that I dialed it up to eleven.

I can imagine someone looking at my account and thinking it’s been hacked, and I would not blame them.

But where are we now? I can almost hear you asking. Well, the back and forth between us and Apple is going well, I think. One has to be patient and explain how different Web3 is from Web2, but I have a good feeling about our next submission. As @eddiespino said, this is also an opportunity to learn for all of us.

At any rate, I think I finally reached the best version we can deliver to the App Stores when it comes to content moderation, which of course can only happen at the client level. Since other Web3 apps have been approved, I suspect they succeeded because of similar implementations.

As I’ve said before, if you want a full Hive Web3 experience, a laptop is the best way to go. It’s always been clear to me that @snapie is not the Hive experience, it’s the bait.

Hopefully, before the day ends, my latest pull requests will be merged. I’ll then be compiling another APK for my friends and submitting to the stores again.

Hey MenO, thank you for the update! I hope that Apple can approve the app soon.

I have also been working on one of my projects, I'm improving the web3Switcher browser extension, maybe I'll change the name. But I'm adding a bunch of features and I think that I cannot finish, because there are more and more ideas, lol. But I'm close now.
