It's funny I see this comment all the time on HN, but in a very similar scenario recently, where DHH launched Hey app and was stonewalled by Apple, I didn't see a single comment saying "hey just go build your own app store". Telling someone to "just go build your own" is lazy and weightless.
- renewiltord 6y agoI didn't find the subject interesting but I'll complete the request for consistency here: it doesn't bother me that Apple requires Hey to use in-app purchases.
- erik_seaberg 6y ago"Just build your own web host" is feasible, but "just build your own app store" is not because it requires replacing half of your users' mobile phones.
- 0xy 6y agoNo, it's not. Because eventually you get censored by domain registrars themselves. Not to mention DDoS mitigation providers, payment providers, browsers etc.
