I’m planning to start using Proton Pass. Should I use a Proton Mail account for Proton Pass or just sign up with Gmail? I will not be using Proton Mail and I’m not looking to purchase any paid Proton products.

I'm concerned about the claim that free Proton Mail accounts that are not used for 12 months will be closed.

Just looking to get people’s opinions.

Hi,

I’m building a local first app:

• Mobile app (React Native / Expo)
• Data stored only in SQLite on the phone (no cloud backend)
• Desktop app
• Users pair devices via QR code
• After pairing, desktop should sync and control data in real-time

I want everything to work offline over local network.

What is the most practical approach for this?

Also: would this kind of LAN + QR pairing approach cause any issues with App Store / Google Play review?

What is the most store-safe architecture for this?

Thanks

So I finally started learning TypeScript… and honestly, I kind of hate it.

I get why it exists, but it absolutely destroys readability for me. I feel like I’m spending more time fighting types than actually writing code. It just doesn’t feel fun compared to plain JavaScript.

That said — I do want some of the benefits.

What I really care about is catching dumb mistakes, especially in components. For example:

If I define something like:
variant = 'a' | 'b'

I want a warning/error if I ever pass:
variant = 'c'

That kind of safety is super valuable to me. But I don’t necessarily want to go full TypeScript mode everywhere.

So my question is:
Is there a way to keep writing mostly JavaScript, but still get these kinds of checks?

Curious how people who don’t love TypeScript handle this.

Thanks 🙏
