As a person who doesn't need this app but was curious, I bounced off the Terms of Service (et cetera) that "we have to read" (but it is understood that many (most?) of us don't). It seems like a cool idea, but I'm exhausted by all these walls and uninstalled without agreeing to the legalese. If I ever make something useful for other people's well-being I'll just give it away and ask that the distributors of the data pay for it, for the public good (there's an energy cost to everything). For that to work for enough creators, there has to be a different system in place, with health insurance decoupled from employment, and a way to stay alive without relying on guarding "intellectual property". Maybe I'm just living in dreamland today.
There are three typos in the first few paragraphs, each an instance of an extra space. That's not an exhaustive list, as I didn't read the whole document.
Thank you for making a thing and getting it this far into the hands of others. Perhaps I'll try it when I need it or when there's an open source version. Good luck with your project!
- lukko 3y agoHey, thanks for downloading and for the feedback! The Terms of Service is a tricky one - I know most people don't read it, but we did try to summarise the most important points, rather than just having a tiny link that will no one will click. Thanks for pointing out the typos. On open source / free - I would love to be able to give access to the whole thing for free, but unfortunately it's just not sustainable. The free version is very good though, with unlimited use and learning modules. Even with a universal basic income + health insurance, there's no way to fund, grow and release a medical device without some kind of monetisation - and grant companies and investors would definitely expect some kind of business plan. I'm not sure there would be any benefit from open source in this case? It just means it wouldn't get to market as a medical device.
