Home-cooked apps, like meals, are apps you make for the people you know and love.
We’ve progressed enough since 2004 that someone can make one of these on their own.
They’re simple – they require some skills, but not tons.
They’re cheap or free to run – you’re not at the mercy of a corporate pricing strategy.
You control what happens to them – you control whether features are added or removed, and whether they’ll be shut down or sunset.
- Private – won’t sell your data.
- Serve your specific needs.
- No financial pressure to monetize them or make a profit off them.
- Safe – very little risk of nefarious actors or misaligned incentives.
- Made with love and care.
