Once upon a time… in Pixiko: How we received the first 1,000 payments pixiko.com

We started different projects inside Zexler. Anyway, all of them were made for profit. A matter of monetization was delayed and it caused fading and giving up. According to our experience, if a project doesn’t make a profit (even a bit) at the beginning, it will break down soon. Therefore, we decided to think of monetization while developing Pixiko. It was supposed to make a little profit even at the beginning.

App store or web? Why not both!? dev.to

Most app development technologies force teams to make hard decisions about where they will distribute their apps, usually either app stores as a native app or the web as a Progressive Web App.

Capacitor, a universal app runtime, avoids these tradeoffs by targeting one universal runtime (the web), and giving you maximum optionality for where you distribute the app that you build. You can deploy your app with one codebase anywhere your users are, even if that happens to change! That might mean the app stores today, but it could mean the web and desktop tomorrow.

The Modern Guide to OAuth fusionauth.io

OAuth 2.0 is a set of specifications that allow developers to easily delegate the authentication and authorization of their users to someone else. While the specifications don’t specifically cover authentication, in practice this is a core piece of OAuth, so we will cover it in depth (because that’s how we roll).

What does that mean, really? It means that your application sends the user over to an OAuth server, the user logs in, and then the user is sent back to your application. However, there are a couple of different twists and goals of this process. Let’s cover those next
