Don’t tell someone to chill just because they take an opposing viewpoint. It’s disingenuous and attempts to paint them as emotional and irrational.

Are you responding to the right comment? What you’re saying seems completely unrelated to what I was responding to RIMR about.
If your issue with this app being posted to HN is the mere existence of the app on the Play Store (including all of the store and the OS’ existing flaws), I don’t see how that’s supposed to be a constructive or useful discussion relevant to this app.

They are responding to the part of your comment that says
> An in-app purchase is an automatic dealbreaker? Doesn’t that depend on what it actually is?
Hardly unrelated
but yeah, you already have:
- system apps for play service which run all the time and can access all apps' storage.
- all apps can ask the OS for a list of other installed/recently open apps. whats app request that list every minute.
- etc. not going to list all the crap you can use to target individuals on apple and android. there's plenty.
my point is, in the end. apps with purchase option are the least worse from the official stores. chill.
