Women are not allowed in this world anymore because of their own personal preferences.

Don’t screw over small indie devs.

That’s true, but it’s also possible to release apps individually on mobile similar to PC releases.

We also currently get the worst of both worlds with stuff like Goodnotes. They had a one-time buy, but currently they’ve injected AI-related nonsense into v6. They allow owners of the previous version to still use v6, but it’s extremely crippled and functionally worse than 4 or 5. Constant nagging about the new version and features. V6 fully replaced v5 on the App Store, so we can’t do anything about it now. Even in my purchase history, my purchase was forcibly “upgraded.”

What I paid for was a digital notebook app that I could write down notes on with my Apple Pencil and iPad. It had a few nice features I didn’t really need, but were nice to have like writing-to-text replacement. It had cloud backups, but they were through iCloud or OneDrive on the user’s individual storage so I’m assuming it didn’t add a monthly cost overhead to the developer.

Now it’s a subscription model app with features I don’t want nor need that completely replaced the app I paid for.

I’m not smart enough to know, but that doesn’t seem like it’s enough to actually provide a person all their oxygen.

Any biologists here?

Any app that doesn’t require any backend to function.

If you ask for a subscription for an app without the need to support a backend… I won’t subscribe. I’ll find something else.

Mostly anything else is fine.

Though, if it’s something like a Note-Taking app where the cloud infrastructure for backups and sharing would cost pennies and you’re asking more than $1 a month, I’m out. Looking at you, Evernote. $64 a year to replace the built-in Notes app? No thanks.

I’d like to see how this compares to other solutions like Virtual Desktop. If it’s more performative, I’ll go for it. I can’t imagine there will be a big difference.

We got another one in the system. >:}

Thank you!

Currently graduating from my computer science degree, searching for a job in backend. :}

Update: Just got one! Junior dev role. Weeee~

Let’s make each month 73 days.

5 months. We can figure out a season for each one!

And pay less than half as much rent!

People that disrespect others time are not friends of mine.

I don’t care what level of important any person puts on something they planned. Show up on time or don’t make a promise at all.

AI in the terms of Computer Science, of course.

Thank you! :}
