Haha wow, byebyefitness is such a darn good idea. Kudos for thinking of that!
Maybe one day you could get acquired by PaperKarma or a similar mission-aligned business.

Thank you!
Wow! Never heard of PaperKarma but I could definitely use it. I’m extremely interested in honest, pro-consumer software but the revenue doesn’t seem to be there.
I actually took down my blog where I was writing about alternative monetization strategies and creating pro consumer/privacy friendly software because I felt that it could give the wrong impression to potential employers who don’t share my values :/
StreamSwitcher, for example doesn’t use any tracking or keep any data from the user. There’s an anonymous session that’s created to get a user generated mapping of Apple Music links to Spotify links if the user completes a “transaction“. Costs me nearly nothing to run.
Same story with ByeByeFitness — no user data is tracked or passed on to Google, Facebook, etc.

FWIW I'd be interested in reading a blog on this topic. It would be great if you could share your thoughts anonymously, or one day get to a point where you have enough "F-you Money" to disregard what employers might think.
