They're not wrong in that building such things isn't free. However, you're also right in that we on the dev side should be thinking about better ways of doing this - there isn't only one solution to these problems. Whatever final solution we implement doesn't have to be the most expensive means of doing so. It's actually up to us to think of better/more efficient ways of doing the things we want to do.

My goal is to add a button that users can click on our mobile web app, which allows them to add a shortcut on their devices’ home screen. I understand that in most mobile browsers, there is already a built-in function to achieve this, usually in the menu. However, I would like it to be more visible and available to users. The problem I am facing is that the project build is unable to copy over my manifest.json file from the build-templates folder to the build folder.

Hey all, I’m back with another film from the aughts for this week’s Movie Monday. It’s 13 Going on 30. Plot: The plot is pretty basic, but it works for what it is. It’s a bit like a gender flipped Big in that it deals with a young teen, a girl this time, becoming an adult suddenly. The mechanics involved are time travel rather than becoming just an adult right then and there like in Big though.
