hear about a cool new app and think about trying it (animation studio, drawing app, notes organization...)

* find out it's cloud based... but maybe I can work with it.
* find out the file type is unique to that app alone... but maybe there are converters...
* it wants me to subscribe (it's not THAT much...)
* it's got AI in it for some reason

Decide I will use a paper notebook or a txt file instead.

... I will give you ONE maybe TWO hundereds dollars if you just let me HAVE the app. If I can just download it and use it and not need you in my life after.... please...

I used the Google podcasts app for listening. Then they stopped that.

I looked into others. Either I had to pay a subscription, or give them all my personal information, or sell them my firstborn child. Then I decided to code up my own player...
