Disadvantages of Apps

 Development is expensive

 Unless you're a developer yourself, you will most likely need to pay someone to develop the app for you. There are many capable developers out there, but not as many as there are web developers (and they're oJen more expensive too). It's not a one-time fee either since it will require constant

updating in the future. If you aren't 100% sure you can justify the cost, it may not be the best choice to start developing an app.

 Staying compatible is a challenge 

Where a mobile website can be accessed from practically any reasonably modern mobile device, an app will be specifically built for specific devices and operating systems. To cover all bases would be prohibitively expensive, meaning you'll always be leaving some users out.

 You leave updating up to users

 No matter how much functionality or bug fixes you're offering in your latest app version, you'll find that many users will simply refuse to update. In some cases they won't even update if the current version they're using is broken! This problem is non-existent with websites, where you control updates yourself on the

Ask HN: What startup/technology is on your 'to watch' list? 583 by iameoghan | 431 comments on Hacker News. For me a couple of interesting technology products that help me in my day-to-day job 1. Hasura 2. Strapi 3. Forest Admin (super interesting although I cannot ever get it to connect to a hasura backend on Heroku ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 4. Integromat 5. Appgyver There are many others that I have my eye on such as NodeRed[6], but have yet to use. I do realise that these are all low-code related, however, I would be super interested in being made aware of cool other cool & upcoming tech that is making waves. What's on your 'to watch' list?

Ask HN: What's the most valuable thing you can learn in an hour? 786 by newsbinator | 657 comments on Hacker News. A lot of what hackers do takes years of building knowledge upon knowledge. That's also true for physicists, marketers, salespeople, managers, etc. Are there any quick wins that 30 ~ 60 minutes of intense concentration can generate? For example an average person, if focused, can learn to read (but not understand) Korean decently in under an hour. A person can also learn a few guitar chords and possibly play a carefully-chosen song in that time. But those aren't valuable skills in themselves. Do you know of any simple + valuable wins in your area of interest? ("valuable" intentionally left vague)
