Also I just installed Daylio which is a cool little diary application. They have no web app, it's mobile app only. It backs up your data to Google Drive. It has no server component, no signup, etc.
Admittedly there are limitations of not having a server backend but for a MVP that's another way to go.

- wvenable 8y agoExactly. No API either. So obviously it's not without it's downsides.
- jkchu 8y agoA native app with no server backend is the same as a web application with no server backend. In that case you really just need to put those static web files into an S3 bucket and route a domain to it. The cost is very low for this.
- wvenable 8y agoAthough localstorage exists, I'd be very hesitant to store anything important/permanent there. So your no server web app will be pretty limited.
- johnday 8y agoDaylio is good! I did it for about 6 months but I've tailed off recently. Simple apps can definitely get away without a remote backend, and for things like single-player games they can get away without any web presence at all. So yeah, there's definitely no one true solution.
