I did this recently at the company I work at. Someone suggested GitBook, I 'Vibe coded' an internal docs website in under and hour. Does what we need, looks good.
Unless the app has a large community/network and is just a SaaS with some offering, it'll be very easy to replace it.
It's interesting, because a few years ago I would have put this strictly under the "not invented here" fallacy, where we'd now be stuck maintaining another project for the foreseeable future. I used to press pretty hard to avoid it.
Now I wonder if the maintenance cost for this type of internal system has gone down to a level where that is no longer an issue.
I can see it going both ways.
If knowledge work continues to roughly look the way it looks then I think maintenance is going to be an issue. Both in terms of keeping the spaghetti together but also in terms of all the bad design decisions you get from everyone bolting on their ideas.
If however knowledge work becomes just talking to LLMs and occasionally interacting with an on the fly generated UI then maintenance becomes a non issue

I think this particular issue has only been reported on Pixel phones. Since I searched for it throughout the internet (for a solution), I found a dozen of reports with similar issues as mine. I never experienced this on any other phone.
You're correct. I did it more for the reviews, so that I can charge appropriate rates later on.
I spent probably 2-3 hours for that $15 (and 3 hours more for additional $30) and then about 2 hours for that $100 (expected $50). These are all excluding messaging, just actual work.
That's absolutely unbelievable! It looks like the times of civilized conversations are over, and public shaming is the only strategy that works for companies like these... Facebook, Google, you name it - they don't care about you, but once your submission on HN gathers enough traction, your problem magically disappears. That's ridiculous.
