Even apps like superwhisper I'm looking to ditch because during an update they swapped my local models to cloud models which is a crazy breach of trust.
Very happy to see this stuff!
Someone at google please give us the ability to see titles!
I am not affiliated just very happy with the product if anyone was looking for stuff to try.
Plus the fact that in last 5 years assets have gone up so much means there's just a lot of wealth being invested.

Two anecdotes just from the last year: I made an account a few months ago from my home ip, listed a used piece of clothing for sale for $80.
After a day my account got suspended, then they called me to verify my identity and while speaking with me the guy said sorry your account is suspicious we are closing your account and you can't make another one! And then when I asked for a reason of course he didn't go into more detail than that.
2nd: I helped a friend manage their listings on their account of 20 years. They had an issue with a buyer returning an item but the box was opened so all the items value was basically gone at that point. My friend mistakenly refunded the buyer in good faith while the item was in transit and he said in messages that they weren't opened. This was about $2000 in value lost. Ebay support spoke with us multiple times and obviously they are just told to be understanding and reassuring that everything would be taken care of by the internal team they are escalating to and then they never get back to you. I called them 7 times and the same thing, they make a ticket or whatever and nothing ever happens.
Never had a more pathetic experience with a company. Hope you somehow get your issue resolved.
I personally was asked to help a young girl who would cry all day because she lost the app and it was her salvation due to her unique circumstance.
Was interesting for me to learn after asking some middle/high schoolers how important the app is for them emotionally/personally/culturally/etc.

Definitely something we should all keep in mind that sometimes you just have to pave your own way and hope it is great on its own merits.
There would be so much demand for this I feel like from people who could fund this experiment. Give the rest of the world a model to follow.
