That is rough. I assume this is a web application?
I went through a previous thought experiment about what would happen when we moved a paid up front feature behind a subscription. This was the outcome I came to. Unless the user bought and installed a physical app, on the desktop, outside of an app store, they were going to get the rug pulled out from under them.
- malfist 2mo agoNo, its the stronglifts app. But I switched to hevy and I'm happy with it. But I did paper for a while and liked it until I missed mu graphs
- erikwiffin 2mo agoUgh, that happened to me too. But instead of researching other apps and waiting for them to decide to go premium too, I built my own workout app. Been using it for a couple months now and it's working great, but the hassle of publishing it to the app store means that it will only ever be a solution for me and I can't share it with anyone.
- ValentineC 2mo agoHave you considered making it into a PWA? I've always thought of cloning the old Zero fasting app into one, when I have a bit more time to point my Claude at building something else.
- erikwiffin 2mo agoI actually started with it as a PWA, but ended up rewriting it in react-native. I wanted a couple features (heart rate monitor, lock screen integration) that afaik don't work with PWAs.
