Show HN: Spiteware.ai – A catalog of apps built out of spite at unfair pricing

A new site called Spiteware.ai launched as a catalog of free software clones built by developers in response to paid products charging for features they consider should be free, according to its Show HN post. The site defines "spiteware" as software written because an existing product charged money for something that should obviously be free, citing an example of a notes app that raised its price.
