Why does EasyEats have ads in some places? Well, believe it or not, EasyEats is currently all being created by one person. Me! Devin. I do all the Designing, food creation, and algorithm creation, Everything EasyEats is made by me, I’ve had some amazing help with creative design and logo work, so I can’t take credit for that, but all the app aspects you see and implementations and websites and EVERYTHING is ONE person.
Unfortunately, I have bills to pay as well, and I can’t feel right charging money for what should be available for everyone easily. Meals should be easily available and accessible to everyone, it shouldn’t be hard.
My thought process for how I can continue to grow and expand EasyEats was to use ads but with strict rules. I hate getting annoying popups, or an over cluttered screen full of ads, so I gave myself some strict rules.
The ads will NEVER interrupt the user's flow through the app, they should all feel integrated, not a stopping point.
The Ads won’t be a burden to the rest of the user's experience. The viewing experience for a user shouldn’t be cluttered with ads, they should be sparse and smartly placed.
I want EasyEats to be the best experience for everyone, so that means listening to feedback. If you have any feelings on the ads like if they are too frequent in the carousel, or if some ads don’t look good on some views, please let me know through the feedback screen! I’m always listening to feedback!
