Keep Zite, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Zite you would be making a tool that builds and hosts other apps. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $240 a year.
What you could make
- Forms: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A tool that builds and hosts other apps.
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Databases with views, filters and links between them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Zite’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
