I don’t think you should live without news. Being informed and discussing things happening around us is a natural expectation of community. I suggest find a balanced way to consume some so you can be reasonably well informed. It’s not social media that is entirely bad, rather it’s the notifications and infinite scrolling feed which cause cognitive overload. I changed my consumption habits and don’t open news apps mindlessly.
I’m not on most social media platforms as well. I subscribe to the print & digital New York Times. Reading the paper is old school, but I find it relaxing and I absorb a wider array of information vs what recommendation algos would feed me. I subscribe to ESPN/Cricinfo etc for specific sports that I follow.
It is up to us to do something about making our software more privacy conscious. And management/leaders/founders have to put up the money to support it.
This project is also an experiment to see if its possible to build a "successful" app without user behavior tracking, without endless AB testing.. and so far it seems totally possible.
> Are there other, more privacy oriented transcription services anyone can recommend?
Yes. Try https://aliceapp.ai, the iOS app's in the AppStore: https://aliceapp.ai/app. I created this specifically to be as privacy conscious as possible. There's a small, but strong team of engineers behind this and I'm the primary investor. It's not perfect, but works pretty well, with many relying on it everyday.

Rewrites can either be awesome or a struggle to complete and release. Looks like you guys did well.
How did you run alternate code in parallel in production - I'm concerned about breaking SEO.
