"easy to be good"
Software that treats you like a person, not a product.
No dark patterns. No data harvesting. Just tools that help.
Why "easy to be good"?
Modern software makes it easy to be shady. Dark patterns manipulate you into subscriptions you don't want. Surveillance capitalism rewards harvesting your data. Platforms take 30% cuts while creators do all the work. Apps optimize for "engagement" — a polite word for addiction.
The term for this is enshittification: platforms start good, extract value from users to grow, then squeeze everyone dry once they're locked in.
We think it doesn't have to be this way. Software can respect your attention, protect your privacy, and charge fair prices. It just takes choosing to build it that way.
ez2bgood — because good software should be the default, not the exception.

Mission-Lock Pledge
