I think JavaScript is a great first language. Easy to pick up, but lots of potential (frontend/backend/native). A lot of people dislike JavaScript (some valid reasons, some not) but it’s undeniably a great first language.

Thank you! 🙏

It is not, currently. Still figuring out if I want to open or close source this ala Apollo. Hoping to have the licensing figured out over the next few weeks.

Thank you for your support! 🙌

❤️🍋❤️

Thanks for the kind words! I will do my best :)

I definitely will. Thanks for your support!

Not currently in the roadmap, but I’ve gotten this question a few times, so I may consider it in the future once Lemmy support is stable.

Right now, the plan is to support iOS 13 or higher. So if you make that cut off, you should be able to use Lemon! :)

I will too. Apollo was such a great app. I am still hopeful that the developer will pivot to Lemmy support! More options for Lemmy is only a good thing🤞

That’s precisely my goal - to make Lemmy as easy and as fun to use as Reddit is/was with great apps like Apollo! :) I hope to do a small part in helping Lemmy to grow 🤞

Thank you for the kind words! I will do my best to make the best Lemmy client for iOS. Excited to share with you all as development progresses! 😃

I am, to a degree, but only because it is my job :)

Frontend has changed / is changing much more rapidly than backend, IMO.

I’m not a huge fan of this shift towards eng-driven dev-ops. I get why it’s happened, but infra has never been particularly interesting to me personally and I don’t enjoy owning that aspect of the stack.

thanks for this! Was looking for something similar :)

Ah! Apologies - still learning the ropes with Lemmy 😅

Do you mind sharing a link to that article? Sounds interesting!

I think a lot of this has to do with your table design and general query efficiency. Choosing the wrong structure early on will force you to migrate earlier. If you’re really thoughtful and intentional with your DB design, I can definitely see a single Postgres instance scaling to handle the vast, vast majority of web applications.
