That’s why you branch out
I feel like Jquery is unfairly lumped in here.
While other solutions have eclipsed Jquery, it doesn’t mean it’s in any way bad. Unlike the other products here, it’s still a capable library that solves the tasks it sets out to do. It never became a bloated mess or sold out to the highest bitter.
That being said I wouldn’t really use it today. It doesn’t play that well with modern tooling, and it is extremely easy to write anti patterns into your code. I would recommend either VanillaJS, a web component library like Svelte, or React depending on what you’re trying to do.
Yeah, I though so too. Like, the antiviruses use actively malicious marketing tactics to scare users into giving up their money, paypal is a piece of shit, and flash was a security nightmare. Jquery is allright. If a website uses it and nothing is actively broken, then there really isn’t a reason to replace it.
jQuery
We gonna ignore the crap storm that is JS frameworks, npm packages, and entire superset language to make JS half usable?
Not to mention literally everyone still uses jQuery while pretending not to.
What’s better than PayPal / what issues does PayPal have? I don’t know any better alternative…
PayPal stole my money and I’m far from the only case. Venmo is much better, but still provides fundamentally the same service
Got bad news for you bud… Same bank.
Which is weird because PayPal has owned Venmo for over a decade
Yep. Dunno what the difference is, but it works much better. Probably the underlying software is just better.
yeah I like paypal and use it a lot
For a merchant; PayPal fees are quite high, their merchant support is abysmal and you have to be a decent size SME before you get a dedicated account manager.
And dont even get me started on their so called “merchant protection” offer for disputes.
I assume just normal credit card payments online? PayPal started because people were scared to use their card online, but now you get all the same buyer protections and insurance.
How do you send money to friends or businesses with credit card? Is there a paypal card which has your login information printed on it?
Venmo usually, but many banks have built in cash payment apps too.
I’m 35 and never had a PayPal account and have never felt the need for one
Obviously you can do a SEPA transfer as well, but it’s not instant and you have to type a long number and don’t have a consistently good user experience. Bank apps lack good UX. Stuff like “send this friend 5 bucks again, this is his profile picture” and are a pain to log into.
I don’t say I like paypal or banks, i actually dont like either. But paypal is just more convenient.
I just use a bank transfer
just send them money to their bank account. it’s a lot more common in Europe.
