"You do not have a right to decide what people do with the content." Smh. Yes, laws be damned.

If by "open and freely accessible" you mean there should be no rules of the road, then I suppose yes. Personally, I'm glad CF is pushing back on this naive mentality.

Not affiliated with CF in any way. Respectfully disagree. Calling out bad actors is in the public interest.

CF is a bad actor. They ruin internet. They own more and more parts of it.

It's not in my interest that a tech company from the US decides what a bad actor is.

Ain't that the truth.

This made me laugh. A form of malicious compliance.

It’s not a good look when your technology is replicated for a fraction of the cost, and your response is to smear your competition with (probably) false accusations and cozy up to the US government to tighten already shortsighted export controls. Hubris & xenophobia are not going to serve American companies well. Personally I welcome the Chinese - or anyone else for that matter - developing advanced technologies as long as they are used for good. Humanity loses if we allow this stuff to be “owned” by a handful of companies or a single country.

I actually considered generalizing the app along these lines, for just about any in-person appointment that you have to keep.

That would be a great idea. I guess you would have to have a buffer to cover longer than usual appointment times. That type of app could be used for so much too. Parents dropping their kids off at the movies, it would give them the travel time for when they need to come back based of the length of the movie.

I have been approached by a number of companies over the years about selling Just Landed, including some household names. The trouble is, almost none of them wanted the app – they just wanted me as an employee. These weren't companies I could get super excited about working for - especially since I love being an entrepreneur and working for myself. Of the few who did want the app or the tech, their quality bar/taste wasn't a good fit, and I worried how they would treat my users. It was never about the money. Time is my most valuable resource.
