Private: Why and how Apple should revise, not end, the app affiliate program

By now you’ve likely heard how Apple ended their app affiliate programp and you’ve probably seen hot takes which have called the move “a massive middle finger”,  mean-spirited, a gut punch, just about the money, and “hostile and petty”.

My thanks to HelloTalk for being a sponsor this week. I wrote last week of how research shows the most important factor in learning a language is the quantity and quality of input in that language.

While writing my thesis for my Master’s degree in ESL, I was amazed to see the strong connection in research between mastering a language and receiving large amounts of quality input in that foreign language.

How to Track Robinhood stocks using IFTTT, Launch Center Pro, and Workflow

Typing that data in automatically would be a pain, and I didn’t want to do it with every transaction.…
