I like finding Mac apps that someone clearly put a lot of care into. That’s why I built MacNative.io. I review every app myself, and I want it to become the best place to launch yours. There’s still room on the shelf.

I’m genuinely curious what the reasoning was behind billion-dollar companies choosing Electron for their apps. Was shipping faster really worth making millions of users pay for it ?

I agree, I know some directors that they even not in the google first page when you search their name 😁

Curious how some well-known directories fared in Ahrefs’ DR update? I checked 24 of them 👇
Today, we (Ahrefs) are releasing a preview of DR4: a new Domain Rating model for scoring backlink profiles. Your own DR may change, so we're sharing two ways you can check before it rolls out on December 1st. The two main changes: 1. Subdomains now have their own rating, so our help desk (DR 75) is scored differently than our root domain (DR 92) 2. The pool of domains impacting DR has essentially halved, to ~132M. In our testing, DR4's correlation with Google rankings across all hosts is more than 2.5x stronger than our current model. We've been analyzing the data for weeks and have already had some great outside feedback, but I'm sure there will be more. That's why I'm opening up a direct feedback form for a short period of time. I'll go through all of the comments myself and pass on what I see with the rest of the team. We're pretty excited about finally sharing this with more people. 🙏 Link in the first reply
