You looove beans. Definitely a bit of extra work but can be minimal if event tracking is centralized in one area of the code. But yeah, not saying I recommend you do it, just saying it’s possible and not something that should be seen as a w

I’m not sure I understand why they need to do everything twice. But regarding your comment about most market segments not caring about privacy, I agree especially when it comes to B2C products. Users will complain about it but it will rare

Offer the option to opt in. I prefer apps that ask you upfront if they can collect stats and analytics. I’d imagine a decent percentage of users will opt in giving you enough data for customer and product improvement. Also avoid sharing too

Any software engineering job. You’ve probably gained a lot of experience at the startup as well as being a technical cofounder. You’d be surprised how many engineers out there who are great at algorithms have zero skills or experience build

I’d say it depends on the data being persisted. PII or any user data that is private in nature are good candidates for encryption regardless of session length. Other than that encryption is overkill.

Regarding keeping updated, I find small hobby projects to be a good outlet to try new technologies, architectures or processes. Often times I’d end up translating those to valuable additions to the code base at my day job. As for being stuc

Great idea. The ability to send to multiple destinations is convenient.

“But other apps are fairly easy to get people to pay for where privacy could be a key differentiator” Yeah apps that collect super personal information (i.e security solutions, baby monitors) I can imagine privacy being key. But what about

Makes sense for B2B services where data collection is the core product (i.e analysis, crash reporting). I can see businesses wanting to pay for a service that wouldn’t take their metrics and sell it. But what about B2C?

Ask HN: Is there a market for privacy-first apps?

This is the way. Interfaces for modularity and leveraging nested packages within the monolith to keep code decoupled and organized.
