Stop Building Stingy Apps
- collyw 3y agoThe vast majority of uses will never use that.
- tourmalinetaco 3y agoAnd? The vast majority of users aren’t colorblind either, yet it’s always a good idea to include colorblind accessibility options.
- collyw 3y agoThat entirely depends on your user numbers.

- squigglydonut 3y agoIs this article suggesting that all platforms allow json export of data? Like who would actually want this??
- bogwog 3y agoWho wouldn't want that? Obviously, the average user isn't going to know what to do with it, but other apps/services could use it to transfer data to/from it. Interoperability is always good for users.
- aleksanb 3y agoThis is required by law in the eurozone and has been for some years now. Users must be able to get their own data exported, in some useful format.
- zzzbra 3y agowould love for more STEM folks to have spent time reading through the historical development of various non-STEM -isms. At least try to understand what Marx et al. have theorized even if you know you don't subscribe to their solutions.
- david422 3y agoAgreed here. Example: Garmin Golf. Can help track your scores and all sorts of data. Can you export any of that data? NO. Which means you can't do your own analysis and you definitely can't switch to any other golf tracking software. A while ago I used an app ... can't remember which one now ... but it allowed you to dump your data for no real reason that I could tell. But I appreciated that I could if I ever needed it. It also made me trust the app more.
- laxk 3y agoIMO It should be a policy rule of app stores: - The application/service MUST provide a function to export user data (bla bla bla).
