What part of your mission are they against, exactly?

The static website or application will be served from an AWS server in the end - probably from AWS EC2. So they are against only indirectly.

But still ♥️ what they are doing.

I'm not sure that really answers the question.

Then I missunderstood your question, sorry.

The 2 companies are not against us or our mission. We used their service initially, but after our mission was crystal clear, we decided to create our own version.

Hope this answers your question. If not, please try to ask in a different way. 😊

Seems riskier long term to roll your own solution. But more power to you.

From their mission:

"A Place For Hope 🙌
We are building a magical place of Progressive Web Applications where you can find all your everyday applications (and services) without any data concerns, without the 'big five'."

So basically, they think by using AWS, your data is being sold off to other places? 😵

We think, everyone should have an opportunity to choose applications/services which are not related to Amazon/AWS or similar companies which primary income is based on your data - maybe not AWS directly, but as AWS is their secondary revenue stream after online retail store...

We never said they are 'the pure evil' - and probably never will 😄.

I mean, hopefully they learn some lessons (good or bad) from this path they're about to go down.

I hope the same!

We learnt a lot (good and bad) since we are "online", so it's a clear win for us. 🎉
