About - Pop!

The Story

Pop!, a passion project.

I'm Aimeric Krol LinkedIn . If you're looking for a Silicon Valley startup with dozens of employees and overpriced MacBook Pros, you're in the wrong place.

Basically, I'm just a student and apprentice at Siemens. My daily job? Nothing to do with mobile app development.

Being passionate about tech and interface design, the idea for Pop! came to me after stumbling upon a video by Basti UI , whose work spoke to me immediately. His way of thinking about design really struck me and played a big role in the creative spark behind Pop!.
In this video, the design imagined by freelance Romy clearly gave me the urge to push the project further and release Pop! for real.

This app is the result of my evenings, weekends and a lot of coffee. It's an app developed with heart, coded on my free time, with the desire to create something useful.

Let's talk money (no taboo)

"If it's free, you're the product". We know the saying. Except here.

Pop! costs money to run. I have to pay for servers, database, Apple and Google developer licenses... and my coffee.

I had two choices:

Sell your data to advertisers (Out of the question).
Offer an optional Premium mode.

I chose option 2. The app is 100% functional for free. Premium is a bonus.

When you subscribe, you're not just buying features. You're financing the independence of a developer who refuses to play the Big Tech game.

And now?

Pop! is just the beginning. I have tons of ideas to offer you.

But for now, my priority is that it works, that it's fluid, and that it's useful to you.

See you soon on Pop!,

Aimeric.
