Ah, apologies, I don't check my comments here often enough. But I really appreciate the reply. That was also the interpretation I got from this, but it's hard for me to understand how this is expected to work for any analytics unl

I personally feel like some of the AI hype is driven by it's ability to create flashy demos which become dead end projects. It's so easy to spin up an example "write me a sample chat app" or whatever and be amazed how qu

Rather than going through 1000s of app companies, why not go directly to the 100s of third party analytic companies? From my research most all apps use some SDK which tracks users. Many apps use 3 or 4 for various marketing / product &

Yes, I do believe that the majority of Wikipedia articles are unbiased in that people spend their time and effort trying to find the most neutral and fact based way of discussing a topic.

I have something similar: https://appgoblin.info which let's you see trackers installed on mobile apps and an Android app that lets you see those on your phone. I'm working on automating a flow similar to the OPs but w

I'm worried that older politicians do not understand technology and are letting Musk and Altman dictate what is best.

Cursor is weird. They have a basically unused GitHub with a thousand unanswered Issues. It's so buggy in ways that VSCode isn't. I hate it. Also I use it everyday and pay for it. That's when you know you've captured some

I made, somewhat for my own use, an Android app that queries the apps on your device and sends them to AppGoblin to request their tracking data. This let's you see which apps have trackers (ok all of them do, lol) and which trackers th

Apps can link to other apps, but the receiving app can't track where that link came from (unlike HTTPS where you append anything you want, ie ref=otherapp.com). This has led to the large companies that reverse engineer this via web ser

What about monetization? Do you think integrating ad networks or IAP and then sharing ad monetization revenue or IAP revenue with developers is a good way to go?
