🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. Develop a community-driven, open-source calorie and fitness tracker that keeps core logging features free.
  2. Create a price-comparison tool for health apps that highlights annual vs. monthly costs to help users find affordable alternatives.
  3. Build a browser-based fitness logging tool that allows users to import data from various sources without restrictive paywalls.

Real voices

“they out price the value, cut the features out of the free version (you can’t even add something multiple days in a row without paying)”
