Is it legal to open third-party websites in a WebView inside my app?

Hey everyone,

I’m currently building a mobile app(React Native) and had a quick question about something I’ve seen in other apps.

For example, apps like Reddit open external links inside an in-app browser (WebView) instead of redirecting you to Safari/Chrome. I’m thinking of doing something similar—opening a third-party website within my app when a user taps a link.

From a legal and compliance perspective, is this generally allowed? Are there any restrictions around:

  • Loading another website inside a WebView
  • Deep linking to specific pages
  • Using this in a commercial app

I’m not modifying the content—just displaying the site as-is.

Would appreciate any insights or things I should watch out for before implementing this. Thanks!

Beginner ADS-B setup: what should I buy for a complete multi-feed flight tracking station?

Hi everyone,
I’m completely new to flight tracking and ADS-B setups. I’d like to build a beginner-friendly receiver that can feed data to multiple platforms (like the ones listed on https://adsb.im).

Could you recommend a complete starter setup (hardware + software) that I can buy in one go? Ideally:

  • Easy to set up for a beginner
  • Compatible with feeding multiple services simultaneously
  • Good performance/range for a home setup

Also, where do you recommend buying these components (EU/Ireland preferred)?

Any tips or common mistakes to avoid would be really helpful. Thanks!

[Request] Help me get a reliable laptop

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out here because I could really use some help getting back on track.

Right now, I’m actively trying to find a job and improve my skills by building apps (mainly in React Native). I’ve been putting in the time every day, learning, applying, and working on projects, but my current laptop is making it really difficult. It’s slow, crashes often, and struggles with development tools, which is starting to affect my ability to apply for jobs and complete coding tasks.

I’m trying to raise funds for a refurbished laptop that can handle development work reliably. I’ve found a solid option here:
https://www.refurbed.ie/p/apple-macbook-pro-2019-16/27155c/?offer=6053967&warranty=30

My goal is to upgrade the RAM to 32GB and extend the warranty so it lasts me long-term.

I’m specifically looking for a bigger screen because I have a fairly strong prescription (-5.5), and working long hours on a small or low-quality display causes eye strain and slows me down.

This laptop would help me:

  • Apply for jobs without technical issues
  • Build and run apps smoothly
  • Continue learning and improving my skills
  • Attend interviews and complete assessments reliably

I understand this is a big ask, and I truly appreciate anyone who takes the time to read this. Even small contributions or sharing this would mean a lot and genuinely help me move forward.

Thank you.
