"apps these days" aren't like older software, where basically all the code and functionality was written and baked into each new release by the author/team releasing it
almost every piece of new software you use (certainly everything with a subscription) is actually calling another third-party paid API (sometimes multitudes) and using your subscription money to pay for the cost of the app leveraging that API
this approach made it much easier to release a product, but now the product depends on a third-party being paid for every request
- wahnfrieden 3y agoI have near zero marginal operating cost thanks to offline-first architecture But now I see this "offline first" upgrade is seen as a downgrade in terms of value for the premium offering, so I have to figure that out
- GenericDev 3y agoFor what it's worth "offline first" is a big win in my opinion and would sway me to switch to Manabi. I tried it previously, and the changes you mentioned are something I'm interested in.
- wahnfrieden 3y agoThank you! I also stripped all analytics (will introduce something more privacy friendly later). Please let me know if you have any feedback
