Several icons have been inverted for me since a few updates now. This is on both alpha and live. Genuinely have no idea why it happens or how to fix it. Already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app and it didn't do anything. Can you help?



hey is your device in dark mode possibly. did android put out an update that makes dark mode automatically invert some images in webviews. those motherfuckers

there's a particular type of app that basically allows both email apps and Obsidian (and a number of other apps but those are the main ones I care about) to function properly on Android
and the term you'd be looking for is "webview" somewhere in the app's name
I disabled this one time because my phone let me do it for some fucking reason and promptly found out what it broke by doing that
it took me a bit to remember, more recently, but when Obsidian and email suddenly stopped working I ended up finding that the webview app I happened to have had its "put in deep sleep if not used" setting on for some fucking reason
so obviously I fixed it, fine, whatever
then about a month later the app got an update that just straight up broke it, even when I uninstalled and reinstalled it a few times
... knowing that this was the problem the last time all of my mail apps and Obsidian went down at once is what helped me to know that downloading an entirely different webview app might fix the problem
which turned out to be correct
Anyway yeah play with the settings on your devices

🤦♀️
Don't do that. At best you are just slowing things down, at worst some of these may be actively interfering with each other. AdGuard and uBlock Origin (uBO) is redundant, just use one. I use uBO, but AFAIK Adguard is ok too... Anyway, double classical browser adblockers is almost always a bad idea. (One classical and one DNS-based is fine)
Don't bother with the DDG extension for Firefox, just set DDG as your search engine. Delete Google and other unwanted search engines from the list if you want to make sure you don't accidentally select them. They claim to do other stuff, but it isn't doing anything you can't get with uBO and native FF features (set to Strict, etc). It might do stuff that you can't natively do on Chrome, but uh. Don't use Chrome.
The DDG app for Android mentioned above just links to the DDG Android browser. It does not make any claims to increase privacy or deal with ads in other apps. It is just a web browser. And it is just a Chrome/WebView wrapper as most non-FF browsers are. It isn't going to offer you anything you can't get with FF on Android and uBO.
Mullvad is a fine VPN (you can also use Mozilla, which is a branded version of Mullvad's infrastructure, and will help Mozilla survive), but there is very little to no reason to use a VPN for most day-to-day web browsing. Even more so now with encrypted DNS lookup options in the form of DoH (DNS over HTTPS) and DoT (DNS over TLS).
There could be some limited value to a VPN when on public WiFi (Starbucks etc), and a VPN is good to keep the MPAA off your back when torrenting. Or if you want to get around geo-blocks by selecting a VPN endpoint in another country.
Sponserblock is nice to skip the sponsor segments on YouTube, but do remember just regular uBlock Origin will block the YouTube-inserted ads, and Sponserblock has nothing to do with blocking trackers or the like.
For Android, start by using FF for Android (iOS situation is different), very many extensions work just fine on mobile now, including uBlock Origin. And then use mobile website (and PWAs, Progressive Web Apps) rather than Android apps where possible. "Apps" are always going to have more power to track you than websites (obviously there are "good" apps, especially many open source ones, that don't track you, but the possibilities are greater).
Since I use open source apps and websites wherever possible, and I use FF with uBlock Origin on Android, I haven't felt a need to use other ad/tracking blocking stuff on Android, but if you want to, the best bet is DNS based blocking with an open source app.
Some do it locally, like PersonalDNSfilter, DNS66, AdAway and Blokada 5, with a host file setup (either directly on rooted device, or with a fake VPN workaround for non-rooted). Others like AdGuard for Android, Blokada 6, RethinkDNS and NextDNS use external DNS servers on the internet and route your DNS requests through them. Some of those listed require subscriptions (though the clients are Open Source) or require varying amounts of manual setup. Also apparently some people are using the AdGuard DNS server without the app and therefore no subscription (presumably then needs more manual setup)? Don't know much about it. Can't recommend any one of these as I haven't used any of them, but plenty of discussion on Reddit etc.
Not sure what the Host File or alternate DNS situation is on iOS. And iOS browsers (ALL of them) are just skins over WebKit (the Safari engine), so not much they can do, and no extensions. The EU might force Apple to open that up though at some point...
i hate seeing people now making fun of those who care about privacy online. i've seen people saying things like "well they already have your data. what are companies going to do with it" and it's like, that's not the point. it's that companies /shouldn't/ be able to have my data and sell it. am i aware they probably already have my data? yes, absolutely. but i'm still going to try and keep them from monetizing it any further, why are we defending companies selling data they shouldn't have to begin with though?
#computers#tracking#ad blocking#privacy#it's like watching someone use full motorcycle leathers and helmet to go rollerskating#or something#except at least the motorcycle getup has a real purpose that makes sense#Maybe compare it to combining a motorcycle outfit with medieval plate armor

Native Development vs Flutter: Which One Should You Choose?
Introduction
Think about creating two distinct houses for two individuals who desire nearly the same look — one for iOS and one for Android. Now, think of creating one intelligent house that converts to both. That's native app development versus Flutter — and it's a choice that defines mobile app project futures.
Today, with the need for speed, cost-effectiveness, and cross-platform compatibility, mobile development frameworks have changed at a very fast pace. Native development, employing platform-specific programming languages such as Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android, has been the performance and platform integration gold standard for a long time. But Google-backed frameworks such as Flutter are shaking things up by providing a single codebase to develop apps that can run on several platforms.
This blog delves into the age-old debate between native development and Flutter — breaking down their fundamental differences, strengths, and trade-offs. As a developer, product owner, or technology enthusiast, this article will show you which way may be best for your next project and why this decision is more important than ever.
History and Evolution
The journey of mobile app development began with native technologies, tailored for individual platforms. When Apple launched the iPhone in 2007, developers used Objective-C and later Swift to build iOS apps. Around the same time, Android emerged, with apps written in Java, eventually evolving to Kotlin — Google’s preferred language. These platform-specific tools ensured that apps were tightly integrated with the hardware and software ecosystem, delivering high performance and a smooth user experience.
However, as mobile usage exploded, so did the demand for faster, more cost-effective development. Maintaining two separate codebases for iOS and Android became inefficient for many companies, especially startups and product teams with limited resources. This gave rise to cross-platform frameworks like PhoneGap, Xamarin, and React Native, aiming to simplify development. Each had its pros and cons, but they were steps toward a unified development model.
In 2017, Google introduced Flutter, a revolutionary UI toolkit for building natively compiled applications from a single codebase. Unlike earlier frameworks that relied on WebView or JavaScript bridges, Flutter uses the Dart programming language and a custom rendering engine to produce near-native performance. Its “write once, run anywhere” promise, paired with a rich widget library and hot reload feature, quickly made it a favorite among developers.
On the other hand, native development also evolved, with more robust IDEs (Xcode, Android Studio), improved language features (SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose), and better tooling that made building apps faster and more maintainable. Native development is still the go-to for apps requiring tight integration with device hardware, platform-specific UI/UX, or optimal performance.
As of today, both approaches coexist — each serving different needs. Flutter has matured with strong community support and increasing adoption in enterprise-level projects, while native development remains unmatched in terms of stability and platform consistency for complex applications.
The evolution from native-only to modern cross-platform development represents a major shift in how mobile apps are built, driven by the growing demand for efficiency, maintainability, and faster go-to-market strategies.
Problem Statement
As mobile apps continue to dominate the digital space, businesses are under pressure to deliver seamless, feature-rich experiences across multiple platforms — most commonly Android and iOS. But developing apps for both platforms presents a fundamental challenge: balancing performance, development time, and cost.
Traditionally, native development required companies to build two entirely separate applications — one for Android using Kotlin or Java, and another for iOS using Swift or Objective-C. This approach not only demands two separate development teams, but also doubles the effort when it comes to writing features, fixing bugs, running tests, and deploying updates. As a result, project timelines are longer, development costs are higher, and maintaining feature parity across platforms becomes more difficult.
On the flip side, cross-platform solutions like Flutter offer a compelling alternative by enabling a single codebase to serve both platforms. However, this approach is not without its own concerns. Developers often question whether Flutter can match the performance, stability, and native feel of platform-specific apps. Additionally, accessing certain device features or integrating new platform updates can require writing native code anyway, partially defeating the purpose of going cross-platform.
This presents a key dilemma for developers and product owners:
Should they choose native development for its power and precision, or Flutter for its speed and simplicity?
The problem becomes even more significant for startups and mid-sized companies that must deliver high-quality apps with limited time and budget. They must carefully evaluate trade-offs between performance, scalability, and maintainability — a decision that can greatly influence user satisfaction and business success.
Technology Overview
To understand the differences between native development and Flutter, it's important to first break down what each approach involves — from basic concepts to how they function in real-world development workflows.
Native Development: Platform-Specific Precision
Native development means creating mobile apps using the programming languages and tools officially supported by the operating system:
iOS: Developers use Swift (or the older Objective-C) along with Apple’s Xcode IDE. UI is built using UIKit or the more recent SwiftUI.
Android: Developers use Kotlin (or Java) with Android Studio. UI components are managed using XML or Jetpack Compose, Google’s modern UI toolkit.
Each native app is compiled separately for its target platform, ensuring optimal performance and direct access to platform APIs, animations, sensors, and hardware components. The app naturally follows platform-specific UI/UX conventions, giving users a seamless and familiar experience.
Flutter: Cross-Platform Simplicity with Power
Flutter, developed by Google, is a UI framework that enables developers to build apps for Android, iOS, web, desktop, and more — from a single codebase. Flutter apps are written in Dart, a fast, modern language designed for UI development.
At its core, Flutter does not rely on native UI components. Instead, it uses its own rendering engine (Skia) to paint every pixel on the screen, which allows for:
Full control over UI customization
Consistent design across platforms
Smooth animations and transitions
Flutter’s “hot reload” feature speeds up development by allowing developers to see changes in real time without restarting the app. It also comes with a rich set of pre-built widgets that can be styled and extended, giving teams the flexibility to build complex UIs efficiently.
Integration and Functionality
For platform-specific functionality like camera access, biometrics, or Bluetooth, Flutter uses “platform channels” — a bridge that lets Dart code communicate with native code (Swift/Kotlin). This ensures that Flutter apps can still use native capabilities when needed, albeit with some added complexity.
On the other hand, native apps have first-class access to system APIs, and they typically benefit from earlier support for new OS features introduced by Apple or Google.
In essence, Flutter focuses on developer efficiency and UI flexibility, while native development emphasizes performance and platform integration. Understanding these functional differences helps teams choose the right tool for the right job.
Practical Applications
Both native development and Flutter have proven their value across a wide range of real-world applications. Their adoption depends largely on the nature, complexity, and requirements of the project.
Native Development in Action
Native development is the preferred choice for apps that demand top-tier performance, security, or deep integration with platform features. For example:
Instagram and WhatsApp use native codebases to ensure responsive, feature-rich experiences tailored specifically for Android and iOS.
Banking and fintech apps often choose native development for security reasons and access to low-level device features like biometrics and hardware encryption.
AR/VR applications, games, and apps using advanced hardware (like sensors or GPS-based tracking) are typically built natively to leverage the full capabilities of the device.
These apps require tight control over memory usage, threading, and UI responsiveness — something that native frameworks handle exceptionally well.
Flutter in Real-World Scenarios
Flutter has gained significant traction for apps that prioritize speed to market, visual appeal, and cross-platform consistency. Examples include:
Google Ads and Reflectly (a journaling app) — both built using Flutter, showcasing its capability for building complex, performance-sensitive apps.
Startups and MVPs (Minimum Viable Products) often use Flutter to validate ideas quickly across platforms without the cost of maintaining two separate codebases.
E-commerce and service-based apps benefit from Flutter’s custom UI capabilities, allowing them to maintain a consistent brand identity across Android and iOS.
Additionally, Flutter’s desktop and web support is expanding its application into areas like internal enterprise tools, admin dashboards, and cross-platform business solutions.
Impact Analysis
Flutter significantly reduces development time and cost for companies looking to target multiple platforms simultaneously, while native development provides unmatched performance and reliability for high-end or specialized apps. Ultimately, the impact lies in how closely the technology aligns with the app’s core requirements — whether that’s speed, scalability, or user experience.
Challenges and Limitations
While both native development and Flutter offer powerful tools for building mobile applications, each comes with its own set of challenges and trade-offs.
Native Development: Limitations in Flexibility and Cost
One of the major drawbacks of native development is the need for two separate codebases, which leads to increased development time, higher costs, and duplicated effort. Maintaining feature parity across Android and iOS can become complex, especially for fast-evolving products. Additionally, hiring and retaining separate teams for each platform can strain resources, especially for startups and smaller companies.
Flutter: Gaps in Native Integration and App Size
Despite its advantages, Flutter also faces notable limitations:
Access to platform-specific APIs sometimes requires writing native code using platform channels, which introduces complexity and can reduce productivity.
App size in Flutter tends to be larger compared to native apps, which can be a concern for users in regions with slower internet speeds or limited storage.
Some advanced OS features or new SDK updates may not be immediately available in Flutter, creating a lag in adoption compared to native platforms.
Emerging Solutions
The Flutter team and community continue to address many of these issues through active development, improved plugin support, and tooling enhancements. Meanwhile, native platforms are also evolving to improve developer productivity through tools like SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose, narrowing the gap in development speed and UI flexibility.
Future Outlook
The future of mobile development is increasingly shaped by the need for faster, scalable, and more efficient solutions — and both native development and Flutter are evolving to meet these demands.
On the native side, frameworks like SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose are modernizing the development experience, offering declarative syntax and better performance. These advancements aim to close the productivity gap with cross-platform frameworks while preserving the native advantages of stability and system-level access.
Meanwhile, Flutter is expanding beyond mobile. With support for web, desktop, and embedded systems, it is steadily moving toward becoming a true multi-platform development solution. Its growing ecosystem, increasing corporate adoption, and improved plugin support suggest that Flutter will play a key role in future app development, especially for startups, SMEs, and cross-platform enterprise solutions.
Looking ahead, we can expect a hybrid future — where use cases dictate technology choices. Performance-critical apps may continue to rely on native development, while UI-rich, multi-platform applications will increasingly turn to frameworks like Flutter.
Conclusion
Choosing between native development and Flutter is not about finding a one-size-fits-all solution — it’s about aligning technology with your project’s goals, team capacity, and user expectations. Native development offers unmatched performance, reliability, and tight platform integration, making it ideal for complex, resource-heavy applications. Flutter, on the other hand, empowers teams to move faster with a single codebase, delivering consistent UI and quicker updates across multiple platforms.
As both approaches continue to evolve, developers and decision-makers must evaluate not only the technical capabilities but also the long-term maintainability, scalability, and cost implications. Whether you’re building the next big social app, an enterprise-grade platform, or a startup MVP, understanding these trade-offs will help you make the most strategic and effective decision for your mobile development journey.

Xamarin: The Cross-Platform Mobile Development Framework You Should Know
In today’s rapidly evolving mobile app development landscape, businesses and developers are constantly looking for ways to maximize reach while minimizing effort. With multiple mobile operating systems — most notably iOS and Android — developers are often faced with the dilemma of creating separate apps for each platform. Xamarin, a framework powered by Microsoft, has emerged as a robust solution to this problem by enabling developers to build cross-platform mobile applications using a single codebase written in C#. This blog post explores Xamarin in depth — its architecture, features, benefits, limitations, and practical use cases.
What is Xamarin?

Xamarin is an open-source platform for building modern and performant applications for iOS, Android, and Windows with .NET. Originally developed by the team behind Mono and later acquired by Microsoft in 2016, Xamarin integrates with Visual Studio and enables developers to write code in C# or F# that compiles into native code. Unlike hybrid frameworks that rely on WebView components (e.g., Cordova or Ionic), Xamarin offers a more native experience by accessing platform-specific APIs and delivering near-native performance.
Core Components of Xamarin

Xamarin comprises several essential components:
Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android: These are bindings to the iOS and Android SDKs. They allow developers to write platform-specific code in C#.
Xamarin.Forms: A UI toolkit that enables developers to create user interfaces that can be shared across platforms. Xamarin.Forms simplifies UI design by allowing developers to define UIs in XAML and bind them to C# code-behind.
.NET MAUI (Multi-platform App UI): The evolution of Xamarin.Forms, .NET MAUI unifies the development of apps for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows in a single project.
Mono Runtime: Xamarin uses the Mono runtime, a cross-platform implementation of the .NET Framework, to execute managed code across platforms.
Visual Studio Integration: Xamarin is deeply integrated into Microsoft’s Visual Studio, offering powerful tools for debugging, profiling, and deployment.
Unlock more details here
Why Choose Xamarin?

1. Code Sharing and Reusability
One of the main appeals of Xamarin is its ability to maximize code sharing. Developers can write up to 90% of their codebase in C# and share it across platforms. This reduces development time and cost significantly.
2. Native Performance
Since Xamarin compiles apps into native binaries and provides bindings to native APIs, the resulting applications perform almost as well as those developed using native SDKs.
3. Rich IDE Support
With Microsoft’s backing, Xamarin has deep integration into Visual Studio, one of the most powerful integrated development environments (IDEs). Features such as IntelliSense, debugging, diagnostics, and version control are readily available.
4. Access to Platform-Specific APIs
Xamarin gives developers full access to the platform-specific APIs using C#. You can implement platform-specific functionality without leaving your shared codebase.
5. Strong Community and Ecosystem
With Microsoft’s support and a growing open-source community, Xamarin has extensive documentation, libraries, and third-party tools that simplify mobile development.

React Native App Development: Key Features That Set It Apart from Other Frameworks

When it comes to mobile app development, startups and businesses alike are constantly looking for the most efficient and cost-effective ways to create apps that work seamlessly across both iOS and Android. React Native App Development Companies have been making waves in the industry by offering a framework that enables developers to build apps that provide native performance without the complexities of traditional development. React Native, developed by Facebook, has grown in popularity due to its remarkable ability to build high-performance mobile applications with a single codebase. But what makes React Native stand out from other app development frameworks? Let’s explore the key features that set it apart.
What is React Native?
React Native is an open-source framework that allows developers to build mobile applications for iOS and Android using JavaScript and React. It allows for the creation of applications with a near-native feel, ensuring users get a smooth, high-quality experience. Unlike traditional app development, where separate codebases are needed for iOS and Android, React Native enables developers to write most of the code once and deploy it across multiple platforms. This approach not only saves time but also reduces costs, making it an attractive option for businesses and React Native App Development Companies.
Key Features of React Native That Set It Apart
1. Cross-Platform Compatibility
One of the primary reasons React Native has gained such widespread adoption is its ability to allow developers to write a single codebase for both iOS and Android applications. Traditional native app development requires separate code for iOS (written in Swift or Objective-C) and Android (written in Kotlin or Java), which can be resource-intensive and time-consuming. React Native simplifies this process by allowing developers to create a cross-platform app that works seamlessly on both platforms.
By utilizing a single codebase, businesses can save on development time and costs while also ensuring a more consistent experience for users across different devices. This ability to develop cross-platform apps with a high degree of performance and reliability is one of the standout features of React Native.
2. Native-Like Performance
While there are other cross-platform frameworks, React Native stands out for its ability to deliver near-native performance. Unlike other frameworks that rely on webview-based development (essentially loading the app in a browser window), React Native uses native components. This results in an app that performs more like a traditional native app, offering a better user experience with faster load times and smoother animations.
React Native bridges the gap between web and native apps by using JavaScript to call native code, giving apps the ability to perform complex tasks with speed and efficiency. This makes it a perfect choice for building performance-critical applications such as social media apps, e-commerce platforms, and real-time applications.
3. Reusable Code
Another game-changing feature of React Native is its ability to reuse code across platforms. This means that developers can write the core components of the app once and reuse them across both Android and iOS versions. Although some platform-specific components may require custom code, the majority of the app’s functionality can be shared between platforms, significantly reducing development time.
For businesses looking to launch their app quickly and efficiently, the reusability of code is a major advantage. It not only reduces the overall development time but also ensures that updates and fixes can be applied simultaneously across both platforms, keeping costs down.
4. Hot Reloading
Hot reloading is a unique feature of React Native that allows developers to instantly see changes in the app without having to restart it. This feature significantly speeds up the development process by enabling developers to make real-time changes to the code and instantly test them without waiting for a complete app refresh.
For businesses that want to speed up the development cycle, hot reloading offers a fantastic solution. It allows developers to iterate quickly, implement new features, fix bugs, and optimize performance more efficiently than ever before. This also leads to faster delivery times, which is essential in today’s fast-paced business environment.
5. Rich Ecosystem and Community Support
React Native benefits from a large and active community of developers, as well as extensive documentation and resources. The framework is continuously evolving, with new features and improvements being introduced regularly. The community-driven approach ensures that developers can access a wealth of plugins, libraries, and third-party tools that can speed up development and add new functionalities to the app.
The ecosystem around React Native also includes a wide range of open-source tools and components, which can be integrated into apps to enhance their functionality. The availability of such resources makes React Native an ideal framework for building apps with a rich feature set while keeping development costs manageable.
6. Third-Party Plugin Support
React Native also allows developers to use third-party plugins, both native and JavaScript-based, which can further extend the app’s functionality. For instance, if you need a custom native module for accessing a device’s camera, GPS, or other hardware features, React Native supports the integration of such native modules seamlessly. This flexibility ensures that developers are not restricted in terms of functionality and can easily incorporate advanced features into their apps.
The ability to use third-party plugins enables businesses to keep their apps innovative and feature-rich without having to build everything from scratch, further improving the time-to-market.
7. Cost Efficiency
When it comes to mobile app development, cost efficiency is often a key factor.

Website to App: How to Convert Your Online Presence into a Mobile Application
In today’s digital age, having a strong online presence is crucial for business growth. While websites are essential, mobile apps provide a more engaging experience, leading to higher user retention and conversion rates. If you’re looking to expand your reach, converting your website to app is a strategic move. Fortunately, this process is now easier than ever with the help of a web to app converter.
Why Convert Your Website into an App?
With more users accessing the internet via mobile devices, having a dedicated mobile app enhances accessibility and improves the overall user experience. When you turn website into app, you gain several benefits. Apps generally load faster and offer smoother navigation compared to mobile websites. Unlike websites, mobile apps can store data and provide limited functionality even without an internet connection. Apps allow you to send instant notifications to users, increasing engagement and retention. A mobile app provides a cleaner and more customized experience compared to a mobile web browser. Having an app icon on users’ home screens helps reinforce brand recognition and loyalty.
Steps to Turn Your Website into an App
Choose the Right Web to App Converter
The first step in creating a mobile app from your website is selecting a web to app converter. These tools allow you to quickly transform an existing website into an app without requiring extensive coding skills.
Define Your App’s Features
When you make website into app, it’s important to determine what additional features you need. While a webview app mirrors your website’s content, you might want to include features such as push notifications, offline mode, app store monetization, and custom navigation.
Convert Your Website Using a WebView App
A webview app is one of the easiest ways to turn your website into an app. It essentially loads your website inside an app framework while maintaining full functionality. Most web to app converters offer a WebView option, allowing you to quickly create a functional app without major development work.
Test Your App
Before publishing, thoroughly test your app on multiple devices to ensure it works smoothly. You should check for load speed and performance, responsiveness on different screen sizes, compatibility with Android and iOS, and any broken links or features.
Publish Your App on App Stores
Once you’ve tested and refined your app, the next step is to submit it to the Play Store. Be sure to follow the respective app store guidelines, optimize your app description with keywords, and include appealing app screenshots.
Final Thoughts
Converting your website to an app is a powerful way to enhance user engagement, improve brand recognition, and boost customer retention. With the right web to app converter, businesses can quickly create webview app and gain a competitive edge. If you're ready to turn your website into an app, take advantage of these tools today and make your digital presence stronger than ever!
