Genuinely yours.
The $5 pays for the room your app runs in. The app itself, and everything people put into it, belongs to you.
Yours to keep
The app runs in your account, not inside someone else's platform.
Free to leave
Export the code and data any time — as a ZIP or straight to GitHub — and take them with you.
Your data stays yours
Votes and answers live in your app, and Caffeine doesn't sell or inspect them.
Change it when you're ready.
It's still a Caffeine app. When Thursday's all-hands needs something the app doesn't do yet, you ask for it in plain language.
Add a word cloud question type, and show a leaderboard at the end.
Done. Your draft has word cloud questions and a final leaderboard. Push it live whenever you want.
