Developer says Google Play rejected app over unrelated NSFW screenshot

A developer working with a batch of old Android 6.0.1 devices describes turning to lightweight, de-googled software after finding the experience surprisingly enjoyable. When attempting to publish a text editor called Tabby on the Play Store, the app was rejected and Google attached a screenshot from an unrelated app containing explicit content as justification; an appeal was denied without explanation. The developer suspects the issue may stem from Google's automatic listing translations linking to a dubious site, and plans to distribute apps via F-Droid and itch.io instead.

Ex-accountant Ahad Ali launches AI bookkeeping tool Tabby to replace accounting software

Ahad Ali, who previously ran a 20-person accounting firm handling thousands of tax returns, has built Tabby, an AI-powered bookkeeping platform that pulls live financial data via Plaid to generate real-time profit-and-loss dashboards for small businesses. The tool aims to eliminate manual bookkeeping entirely rather than just digitize it, offering versions for both business owners and accounting firms. Fourteen months after launch, Tabby has signed up 5,500 small businesses and reached about $100,000 in annual recurring revenue with a seven-person team.
