> They weren't just making an app for themselves, because it is in the app store

"It’s something I built for myself first, but I figured others might find it useful too."

Let someone make things for the sake of it, and share that thing because they want to. Because it brings them joy. Without asking for more because you would make different choices. I urge you to self-reflect on what led you to the comments you are making.

Nobody is forcing anyone to make different choices.

This is a forum, where people discuss things and make suggestions.

If some suggestions rub you the wrong way, then maybe take some distance and don't try to take it as a personal attack. Because that is totally not the intention here.
