About the launch

by

Previously Frog Intel, then changed into REEBITT the app was closed source due to not being able to develop it open source with the tools at hand as the team had hoped for from the very beginning.

The idea behind the app was: to build it for free with little to no developer costs.

With recent pressure by Google to submit ID for an app that is controversial was against our morals, we know why they are pursuing this so decided into an open source rebuild.

Starting on July 10th 2026, and taking ideas from a personal gallery app I had made, rebuilding of the old app began.

Was not sure of the outcome at first, but using the REEBITT app that was previously made I had an incline on how to pursue the task.

Over the years the team grew smaller as members began pursuing other challenges so now it is just me maintaining the build. And I'm no professional. It is consistent learning as I go.

So in 19 days finally have the app successfully made and updated to the standard I was aiming for: As the original dev team had hoped for. AI is crazy quick.

Only exception was costs:

• Rebuild development platform cost $20 for less than a months operation

• Open source data scraping research cost around $500 since the start of Frog Intel

The reason for scraping costs is because used a scraping mechanism to filter out and through content for the app, took while to discern accordingly.

Without the scraping which is usually a personal cost tied to the truth movements, it pretty much cost $20 to build.

Tools used in the development are:

• Appcreator24 (original platform for REEBITT)

• Confluxbot (original scraper)

• TeleFeed Auto Forwarder

• Jotform

• Windsurf / Devin AI

• Appcloner (previous app was fully cloneable with appcloner)

• Luckypatcher (removal of ads from appcreator24 versions)

• Nicepage

So the launch didn't go smooth as I would hope, first off I didn't understand the tag option was a tag underneath the name not a github style version tag 😖 so its stuck on 1.0.7 when in fact its had updates pushed since.

And about he updates, hopefully now they will fade down, getting the app to this level with little testers and on my own was a challenge in itself but should be complete now.

Anyway hope y'all enjoy the app

Something different, something unique
