Earlier today he was a gamer who made a website. Within hours he has become a programming prodigy. If that isn't a modern day miracle, I don't know what is.

any non-paywall link?
Because nobody cared in the first place. The idea of Facebook causing outrage amongst its users was almost entirely fictional, and they knew it. They could be as awful as they wanted, and their userbase would still just want to share cat photos and reminisce on their daughter's graduation.
Most of their users would keep using Facebook if it was rebranded to "brain poison" and its logo changed to a skull-and-crossbones. It never rehabilitated, it was never sullied by the mainstream in the first place.
while this is true (long time abuser of the FB drug), these days I log in every other day (ideally) to check updates, but hardly ever my feed: it has been poisoned by suggestions and personalised ads. It is in a death spiral in terms of my membership.

Great question! You're absolutely right - for App Store distribution, users still need their own Apple Developer Account ($99/year). But here's how Scaleify helps:
For testing/prototyping: You can build and preview your app instantly in the browser without any Apple account. Perfect for validating ideas before committing to the ecosystem.
For App Store publishing: We handle the technical complexity - code signing, provisioning profiles, build configurations. You just connect your Developer Account credentials and we automate the rest.
thanks for the clarification!

This is interesting. But how do you deal with code-signing etc? Presumably the user would still need a Developer Account?
