Sunsetting the Pickup, Prank & Quote Deck Apps
After keeping the Pickup Deck, Prank Deck & Quote Deck apps alive for 12 years, I’m now sunsetting them to let me focus on fewer things.
I created these apps with friends many years ago, with an idea to create card-based apps.
Each app has a database with items that share a common model, to let all apps share the same app foundation. Each app lets you swipe through its items as a deck of cards, mark items as favorites, etc.
Over time, maintaining many small apps alive proved neither fun or sustainable, so I made them free and kept polishing them over time, etc.
These apps laid the foundation to other apps like Lunchrrrrr, and an open-source project called DeckKit. So while these apps say goodbye, their legacy will live on.
It’s crazy to think how these kind of apps were once a thing, and that people actually DID paid for them. 🤯
If you want to try the apps before I remove them, you can download Pickup Deck, Prank Deck, and Quote Deck from the App Store all through January.
