Cake day: June 24th, 2023

  • Could we add holiday logos for the Dutch (and Belgian) holidays of Sinterklaas (December 5th and 6th), and perhaps Kings Day? (April 27th)

    If I have some direction on the style I could perhaps Photoshop something together :)

    Edit: Carnaval would be fun too, but that one might be tricky because it falls on a different day every year (and is also not consistent between countries, I don’t think…)

    That’s a valid concern, but it also assumes that the requirements for apps will go up in a similar trend as they did in the previous 8-10 years.
    I’m not entirely convinced that they will. Smartphones 10 years ago were still very much a developing product category, whereas I think today they are generally matured.

    Just look at laptops as a comparison. When they were still rapidly developing, an eight year old laptop would have pretty much been obsolete. But today an eight year old laptop will still serve most people perfectly fine.

    It won’t be top of the line, but I don’t really see why it wouldn’t still be usable at least.
    And even if the person buying the phone today won’t consider it usable for their needs in eight years time, they can still sell it to someone who doesn’t have a need for a high spec’ed phone.

    I think you can look at it similarly to how one would look at an 8 year old laptop today.
    A decently spec’ed laptop from 2015 is still very usable today, as long as you keep your expectations reasonable.
