Do you build mobile apps with a cross‑platform framework or only stick to native Android/iOS? And where do you usually find your freelance projects? Re: Hello, I'm Ulf Dittmer Community Center Say Hello! by trcooke Well hello there Ulf! It certainly has been a minute since we last spoke, in fact I just dug out the last email conversation that we had just over 10 years ago! Nice to be in touch again.

Do you build mobile apps with a cross‑platform framework or only stick to native Android/iOS? And where do you usually find your freelance projects? I stick to native Android.

I couldn't even tell you which servers I had accounts on. Re: Hello, I'm Ulf Dittmer Community Center Say Hello! by Dani A blast from the past? Didn't Mastodon first gain popularity around 2020ish? When I think of a blast from the past, I think of AOL Instant Messenger and MySpace. Re: Hello, I'm Ulf Dittmer Community Center Say Hello! by trcooke I never really connected with it so just feels like a long time ago. But I share you sentiments in general for things of the past, such as the 8086 processor and SCSI disks. Re: Hello, I'm Ulf Dittmer Community Center Say Hello! by Ulfson Mastodon is pretty much the only social network I'm on these days (except for nebenan.de, which is similar to Nextdoor, but much more popular here in Germany). Simplifying my online presence, I deleted my Facebook and Nextdoor accounts this year. Re: Hello, I'm Ulf Dittmer Community Center Say Hello! by trcooke I've pretty much excluded myself from all social media things because their primary reason for being is to push advertising and propaganda to you, and I don't like it.

All clients approached me, or were introduced to me by others. Wow, that’s really lucky! Must be a great feeling to have clients come to you without having to look for them Re: Hello, I'm Ulf Dittmer Community Center Say Hello! by Dani > Mastodon is pretty much the only social network I'm on these days Do you consider forums as social networks? What’s the difference? Re: Hello, I'm Ulf Dittmer Community Center Say Hello! by trcooke Fair point. I have actually met about half a dozen of the CodeRanch staff in person which is way more social than I ever was on any other social network.
