It seems that modern Slavic languages have stayed quite close to Proto-Indo-European after all

Depends on the free content because it works well if you offer some basic free tier for beginners, curious, etc.

On the other hand, nowadays there's a trend with hard paywalls that do not allow you anything after the onboarding. Those apps have like 3.5 ⭐️ on average but still earn money somehow

Originally, Chile received a lot of immigration from Andalusia, so maybe you can find some of it there! (The two accents are surely quite similar)

Probably, Chileans have *so* many sayings based in animals, like:

- hacer la vaca = gather money for something
- mal pelado el chancho = unfair outcome
- tener cuero de chancho = be thick-skinned

Oh, thank you! I'm now working on adding much more grammar to it, also example sentences too.

Hopefully, it will get even more useful!

MVVM is basically a headless interface that the view binds to. Services are DI'd into view models which leads to a really clean separation of everything.

It seems that the problem of MVVM on iOS is that it's never designed platform-agnostic, and this leads to poor boundaries between the layers.

There's a better option, just nobody uses it.

.NET 9 is cross-platform and has decade-old bindings to AppKit & UIKit. You can build native UIs in C# with almost-native performance and share the VM/Model code between platforms.

Here's an AppKit + WinUI app I prototyped:

Opposite for me, LLMs unblock me because I can fire-and-forget annoying tasks and check on them later. I've never been so consistently productive because I do not need to accumulate energy anymore to start something.
