One of my goals for this year is to create an iPhone app. The main rule: make an app that I want to use myself. Thought it would be fun to create a fully local app, without a server. Mainly for privacy purposes. Turns out that there are many more advantages that I didn't think of. Because the app runs locally, it can easily scale. And because there is no server, my costs are non existent. This means I don't have to choose for the standard subscription model. The app is small, super fast and works offline. I don't have to comply with privacy regulation, because I don't store data. I can't get hacked. I mean I can, but there is no customer data to steal. The more I think about it the more I like this model. There are some downsides, but it's also quite fun to think outside of the box to solve them.
