I'm thinking about creating an ebook reader as a personal project, but I don't have any intention to enter ebook selling business!
I mean, I'm just considering creating a simple reader, and I want it to be useful (surprise!), so I want to be easy for users to add their books, and since most of us buy our books from Kindle or iBooks, I want to know if there's any public or private API or any other way that I could fetch bought books from the user's account, sync progress, save notes, ...?
P.S.: I know you could buy books from one of these and then pirate it, but hey, I don't want to incite users to illegal behaviour!
I've recently switched from being a developer to a product manager, so from the triad of tech, design & business, I have a good background in tech.
Now, I don't know what I don't know. I'm seeking resources (books/blogs/blog posts/...) about the other two domains, which allow me to be an excellent product manager.
While I have a habit of checking Hacker News nearly every day for the last 8 years, what I appreciate the most is a community like Hacker News for product managers.
Thank you very much :)
I'm implementing a Webscoket server using go, and I need to have an interactive way to send messages to it and debug it. For REST APIs, I use Postman, and it had simplified my workflow hugely. Is there something like that for Websockets? Currently I'm using Dark Websocket Terminal, and it leaves much to desire for.
Thanks a lot.
We're planning to release a MVP for a product that needs web, iOS & Android front ends, and they have some similar components in them.
My question is, if you have any first hand experience using React for creating your web front end & React Native for your mobile apps, did you find code reuse between these platforms easy? Was it something happening routinely? I know that theoretically it is possible to reuse some codes between them, but is it easy & common to happen in practice?
