There's no way I'm going to pay an extra $73/mo -- I already pay for the computing resources, this should be free.
Looks like I'll be moving away from GKE. It's a shame, I _was_ a big advocate.
One of the biggest reasons that I decided to distribute on the Mac App Store was to establish trust. If I embraced its limitations (i.e. sandboxing), it'd help me build a product that was more secure and have some sort of proof that it was.
Also, the company (me) behind the app is based in France, which has some of the toughest privacy laws. The privacy policy, although in English, is compliant with French law. The short version is that Emporter doesn't collect user data, or perhaps most importantly, user content.
I have quite a lot I want to discuss about this via the company blog, which ironically is part of the reason I decided to post a "Show HN". I wanted contextualize the product a little bit before inviting this kind of discussion.
If you wanted to “own” the data, you could periodically scrape the tweet’s comments.
I think there’s a cool product somewhere in there.
