I don't understand your intention here. It seems like you are shitting on the guy.

He is trying to build something useful, which may take some pivots, and that is nothing to be ashamed of.

Who wants to rely on an API which will disappear in 3 months?

This is fine for a student project or an app which has a fixed planned end-of-life, but not much more.

If I learn that API and it disappears, I just wasted my time. I should have learned an API that I will be able to reuse later.

I agree with you in that I would not use this service.

The only issue I had was with shaming the developer for building something he thought people would want and soliciting feedback. If that wasn't the intention of my parent comment, I apologize and retract my statement.
