My best takeaway from this post:
> The friction of building personal apps has always been so high that as users we accepted the ads, the trackers, the dark patterns, and the constant upsells.
> The friction is just not there anymore. You can build a personal app that has the exact subset of features you want, that is clean, fast, and respects your privacy, in a matter of hours.
