Does this resonates with you?
I am planning to make safest apps to use,
apps which cannot STEAL or SELL data.
Gist is:
A suite of apps where there is 0 (Zero) data going out of the app. Not even analytics, not even heartbeat api nothing. So there is not even a chance of the developer reading it or some hacker exposing it etc.
Details here:
As I'm building apps myself I don't bother if the App sends analytics or crash data to the developer. If the provider of an App spies on peoples data, this is the real issue and would kill the service I guess. Have you every heard of such a case where sensitive data was leaked or sold that it impacted a user? Does this service still exist?
Having analytics and crash reports are just to make the experience for the user better.
If you don't even have crash reports, how would you fix occurring issues? Just based on bad App Store reviews of users complaining of crashes? 🤷🏻♂️
CRASHES:
Nice point, crashes are only via offline ways like screenshots or videos. No other option if you want to avoid communication. Sadly :(
ANALYTICS:
I was thinking to use - user feedback emails and voting on features. Whats your take?
But on apps sending data to server, i have heard cases where DBs are leaked or developer peeking into data. I dont have much data points, as per my story shared in the above link that was just one person's viewpoint. But in general i vaguely remember many times other developer cribbing that 'I will create this xyz features app myself as i dont want this data in cloud'. Any thoughts?
