A Family-Friendly Product

I’m the developer of BrainDojo. Thanks for reading, and I’d like to clarify a few points. The reason I wrote this essay is to push back against the notion that “users expect apps to be free,” and “developers must rely on ads” to stay afloat. I find it unfortunate that genuinely family-friendly apps—ones free from intrusive ads—are so rare.

I don’t know your circumstances or how you earn a living, but as a service provider, I personally believe in a model where users pay for what they value. That revenue can then fund ongoing development, rather than subjecting everyone to endless advertising. BrainDojo is designed for everyone from kids to seniors, and we keep it ad-free precisely to maintain a safe and welcoming experience.

I’m sorry if my intentions weren’t clear, but thank you again for taking the time to read my thoughts.
