You can replicate any fitness app in no time and you will make close to $0. Brand recognition matters a lot.

Yeah but there are also network effects of using fitness apps. Every engineer I know switches easily between Codex and Claude Code when one gets better than the other.

Jev has been around for a couple weeks. Cost and performance matter more than anything. Staying with an existing provider (the # of people choosing Jev without already having a frontier API key is probably zero?) is way easier than this.

What the hell are we even talking about.
