Acknowledgments

Our Gratitude

Building Kindest has been made possible by a rich ecosystem of developer tools, open-source libraries, and creative communities. We want to explicitly acknowledge and thank the creators, maintainers, and organizations whose work powers our apps and websites.

Apple Developer Technologies

Kindest for iOS is crafted exclusively for iPhone using modern Apple platform technologies:

• Swift & SwiftUI — for expressive, responsive native iOS interface design.
• SwiftData & CloudKit — enabling seamless, private, on-device storage and encrypted iCloud sync with zero third-party tracking.
• StoreKit 2 — providing secure, transparent in-app subscription and transaction management.

Open Source Software & Frameworks

Both our native iOS application and this website rely on remarkable open-source engineering:

• Next.js (Vercel) & React (Meta) — powering this high-performance, accessible, and SEO-optimized website.
• Tailwind CSS & Headless UI (Tailwind Labs) — utility-first styling and accessible components.
• swift-markdown-ui & NetworkImage (Guillermo Gonzalez) — delightful markdown rendering and image loading in SwiftUI.
• swift-cmark (Swift Project & John MacFarlane) — resilient CommonMark & GitHub Flavored Markdown parser.
• AIProxySwift (AIProxy) — secure client integration for privacy-respecting AI features.

Legal & Policy Templates

Our legal documents were structured and inspired by open-source policy models published by GitHub under the Creative Commons Zero (CC0-1.0) Universal Public Domain Dedication, adapted specifically to reflect LukyLab's on-device privacy architecture and Czech/EU law.

Inspiration & Community

Special thanks to our early testers, friends, and families whose daily communication rituals, feedback, and encouragement continue to shape Kindest into a mindful personal relationship companion.
