AFAICT someone realized that it was possible to make money with an animated dog app, and it got popular. Then dozens of others heard of it and made knockoffs, some just using the idea, some going farther and publishing apps with confusingly-similar names and icons. So now there are dozens of confusing, bottom-feeding apps swarming around this little pile of money when there used to be just one, and the Android app store is a worse place for everyone.
Searching an app store is about as effective as seeking medical/dating advice in your spam folder, so I don't bother.
Thank you for the kind words.
I took that decision years ago, when hybrid dev was still struggling. If you're asking why I'm not switching now, I just don't have it in me to invest more time in the tool, even though it would significantly cut costs.
Got ya... As someone who's worked in hybrid since ~2014, I completely understand where you're coming from - we've come a long way. Hybrid is an interesting dev space currently - so much tooling (Ionic's Creator, View, Deploy products, for example), flexibility and near-native experience in most applications. Anywhos. Thanks again!
Good point, this actually never crossed my mind.
I guess at that time, I was feeling a little behind since SaaS was the hottest thing and I wanted to be part of that.
