An app can be a home-cooked meal (2020)

Would be interested to know how long such an app could exist on the App Store. Apple is not fond of apps that are rarely updated.

I'm hoping PWAs continue to get better so that app stores aren't the only way of having an app-like experience. App stores just aren't designed for this kind of use case, and hurdles like "We're dropping your app bc you only have 4 users"* take the joy out of home-coding.

One of my "home-cooked" apps has been in the App Store for 12 years now!

It's never really gotten much traction, and I mostly maintain it for me and my friends.

I love to make small incremental updates to it. Really fun experience overall!
