I Decompiled the White House's New App— The app has a cookie/paywall bypass injector, tracks your GPS every 4.5 minutes, and loads JavaScript from some guy's GitHub Pages.

Anyone have any idea who the devs are? According to the owner tag in the code, it’s: https://devfortyfive.com/ but there’s no information on the people behind it.
Dev Forty Five | Government Contract Software Development

Dev Forty Five is a contract software development company focused on government contracts and realtime web applications.

Some guy in Utah, apparently. The company was registered on the 18th of March.

Via Utah Division of Corporations and Commercial Code Business Registration search which did not allow a direct link to individual results.

So…to be clear, this was formed just prior to the release of the app, and almost certainly the app was being developed by this person/group before then.

Sure would be good to know what public funds were used to pay for this app (I assume too much), and whether there was a bidding process (I assume there wasn’t), and whether this person is someone the decision-maker already had some relationship/connection to (I assume that was the case).

Because regardless of the public value of a tracking & propaganda window favoring one party (none), it would be completely shocking, just totally unheard of, if this was a corrupt overpayment and misuse of public funds to pay for substandard work.

I mean, we didn’t just see this happen with Noem or anything.

Judging by the fact that tabs in the app go to webpages… seems like not much was probably spent in developing it.
