No other websites or vendors provide the type of data my app will be providing (.....which is why I can occupy this niche in the first place).<br /><br />Good point on scalability. For now, manual updates by myself will suffice. I have some idea to tackle scalability issues in the future.

R is superior for statistical analysis which you use in your research work. Python is a general-purpose language, so it cannot compete with R which is designed for statistical analysis.<br /><br />The choice of coding language depends on the application. For front-end web app, use javascript. For machine learning and Artificial Intelligence R&D work, use python. For fast performance like high-frequency trading, use C++. For statistical stuff, use R. For low level hardware driver or embedded firmware stuff, use C/C++. For nerds, have to learn all of them.

May not be that serious a problem. <br /><br />How the calls are made may be worth looking into. Of course, use the minified version of the javascript libraries. I don't think the problem lies with the javascript libraries. Otherwise, everyone will be complaining about the same problem. <br /><br />Which javascript libraries are you using? <br /><br />Can't escape javascript when developing front-end web apps. I remembered I had a hard time learning angularjs because it didn't quite look like the simple javascript client code that I encounter in basic tutorials.<br />hyomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175340583474513718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025037118864383396.post-17553676777427036512019-03-09T11:15:13.222+08:002019-03-09T11:15:13.222+08:00Hi Hyom,

The initialization time could definitely be shortened. Apparently, it is caused by calls to javascript libraries, which I have zero experience in. -.-<br /><br />The server provider provides backend hosting as well. So I'm covered in that area.<br /><br />Cheers!Unintelligent Nerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17797052565143872922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025037118864383396.post-22769255910212109822019-03-09T11:07:41.156+08:002019-03-09T11:07:41.156+08:00I'll make it more swee!I'll make it more swee!Unintelligent Nerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17797052565143872922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025037118864383396.post-86212718402852883322019-03-09T10:40:45.322+08:002019-03-09T10:40:45.322+08:00Hi Unintelligent Nerd,

Did you design your web app mainly to be used as a mobile app or is it best viewed using a browser?<br /><br />Is this app using webview in Android or web javascript frameworks like angularjs/react? <br /><br />Which cloud service provider are you considering to host the backend database? I wonder which are the value-for-money cloud choices out there today.<br /><br />I seldom encounter software nerds on financial blogs.
