I decided to dive into creating FindMyCat because let's face it, 90% existing pet tracking options I came across were like asking for a gourmet meal and getting a frozen half-cooked microwaved burrito – all for the price of a five-star restaurant. Seriously, who wants to pay a small fortune for a device that's basically a pocket drain with no real features to speak of?

And don't even get me started on the high monthly subscription fees. It's like they took the concept of a leash and wrapped it around your wallet to lock you into their service.

Plus, I've got this thing for open-source projects. It's like building with Lego bricks – except everyone gets to play with them and make them better. So, FindMyCat was born, a beacon of sanity in the sea of overpriced, underwhelming pet tracking devices. No pocket draining, no subpar features – just a simple, affordable way to keep tabs on your furry friend and maybe even give your wallet a break. And we're just getting started. 😉
