Sorry for the weird ending, people pressured me into writing down exactly what I did to get it to receive data and I haven’t had the time to continue it haha
that _would_ be too thick for most people I think (think of average pocket sizes), but a little bit of extra thickness would probably be accepted judging by the thickness of some phone cases
I'm still in high school so the scale of everything would probably not be an issue although I see your point of maintainability and showing the relations between classes graphically is probably also helpful when you're still wrapping your head around OOP concepts
I am currently being forced to use it for my compsci class and it really is horrible from a UI/UX standpoint (doesn't even have dark mode lol). It does not enforce any syntax style or proper formatting which makes beginners learn that "it doesn't matter" which is wrong imo and leads to horrible looking code.
They can't really gather that much data other than what you're interested in. It pretty much just stores data on what videos you watched and comments etc.
imo it doesn't really matter if you use american companies stuff who have to give your data to various three letter agencies or some chinese app that will give it to the chinese government (which can't really do anything with it anyways)
