I'm with Mark on this. The problem as I see it is that you build a stack in the IDE and it happily stores data into fields, onto cards, into custom props, makes other changes... and then you build a standalone app and it doesn't work. The IDE sets the expectation that everything is working properly and then there's a cognitive leap to dealing with persistence, especially with mobile apps. -- -Mark Wieder ahsoftw...@gmail.com This communication may be unlawfully collected and stored by the National Security Agency (NSA) in secret.
