Spotify wrapped started this trend seems other apps are following through. Seeing a summary of things you did with there app. Kind of gives you a hint how much other things are being tracked.

Thanks for mentioning this.
Of course it would be a lot better if there were more foss health apps.
But as an open source dev, donor and contributor, it is absolutely impossible to make decent software on a nearly global scale with what usually amounts to one person in their free time without a single cent of income.
I know there are theoretical workarounds like donations but even I (who uses mostly open source) cant donate to every app/library I use. You need to make few big donations instead of many small ones. Otherwise you donate to the banking system and thats it. For example I partly finance this platform we are talking on in larger chunks instead of weekly/monthly as not to pay too much fees.
The issue is systemic. We desperately need something like open source tax which is to be paid by those who profit the most off it (large companies) and especially who dont pay any other taxes (mostly).
And yes, compared to a chat app, a health app is niche. But you are right, that should be no problem.
Please write to your political representative and speak out about us needing significantly more funding for open source. Many issues have been solved that way.
Full time open source work must pay the rent and food, period. Sorry for the rant.
