Difficulty in maintaining app functionality on older smartwatches due to software updates and OS compatibility issues

Users express concerns about the long-term usability of their Apple Watches due to the discontinuation of software support and app compatibility on older devices. The core issue is the limited lifespan of the software support, which leads to older devices becoming functionally limited as the OS evolves.

2 Quotes

"App and OS compatibility. New OS won’t run well on old slower CPU and it is big burden to test OS on long list of old devices. This is why typically software manufacturers limit hardware age to perhaps 7-8 years."

"Apple will eventually make these unable to sync, even if they are functional. Can the ipad 1, even if it is slow, run Youtube? Yes it can, until Apple decided to not allow the app to work anymore, and you must use Safari to open it."

Door dash saves 'time' but not money and the time is saved is time I would have ENJOYED. It robbed me of something I liked."

Users Express Frustration with Amazon's Misleading Pricing Practices

"I have had a set of Edifier speakers in my cart for a while now. They were $119. Now, today all of a sudden they are marked down from $150 to $113, claiming it’s 24% off. This is bullshit."

"Saw a chess set on there today "marked down" for $25, supposedly down from normal retail of $49.99. But, scrolling down the listing brought up a link for a newer, updated version of the same thing. Regular, non discounted retail on the upgraded set was only $29.99."

"Never use amazon without a price tracking app in your browser, the whole site is pretty much designed to try to separate you from as much money as possible."

"I can't comment a picture but I found something I wanted and Amazon's own price tool told me their 50% off deal was a dollar more expensive than it had been listed for for the last 90 days ($24 vs $23)."

Difficulty Maintaining Type Safety and API Contract Consistency Between Backend and Frontend

Users are discussing various approaches to synchronizing API types between backend and frontend, highlighting challenges related to maintaining type safety, code generation, and cross-language compatibility.

5 Quotes

"E2E client code generation, OpenAPI specs generated from backend service code and openapi-generator w custom templates to go from specs to TS code. The sync happens in CI, you touch the service code -> client code is rewritten."

"We use a utility I wrote that turns laravel form requests into TS types matched with the names of corresponding routes. We can then enforce the types of form submissions based on what the backend expects"

"After six months we hit pain when iOS needed Swift stubs and security wanted versioned docs. OpenAPI Generator filled the docs gap, GraphQL Codegen handled fragments, while [APIWrapper.ai](http://APIWrapper.ai) quietly kept both server and client types aligned without extra glue. We now mix tRPC for internal calls and OpenAPI for public endpoints. tRPC still wins internally, just not when cross-language consumers show up."

"The frontend tream is ahead of the backend team and specify its API using https://typespec.io/ , that makes writing api actually envoyable because writing json or yaml is horrible, and really looks like typescript. Then the client and react query queries and mutations, zod schema, types are generated with https://github.com/hey-api/openapi-ts"

"If I went a step further and wrapped the Express endpoint creation we could also validate the params."

The user expresses frustration with the increasing complexity of modern frontend frameworks like React, Next.js, and Remix, particularly in contrast to the simplicity of jQuery and backend-driven approaches. They find themselves overwhelmed by concepts like Virtual DOMs, client-side state management, and server components, which introduce complexity without necessarily solving their immediate needs.

2 Quotes

"But so far, every framework I explore feels like it’s solving problems I didn’t have and in the process, it’s introducing complexity I *don’t* want."

"All I want is a simple, modern, fullstack JS (or TS) framework that respects that simplicity where I know what’s going on, where I don’t need to learn 10 layers of abstraction just to build a CRUD app."

Handling when to open or close each part (e.g., on outside clicks) needed tailored logic. Evaluating libraries to handle this would've taken more time than just building it myself."

"The moment you get a UX team and you need to work around the nuances of a component library you are in trouble and it might make sense to build from scratch."

"But almost always I hit a limitation in the library that requires so many tweaks and hacks that I usually just quit and use my own UI lib instead."
