I #vibecoded in 2h a simple #app to manage shared expenses for trips with friends. When I was showing it, the obvious question came up:
“But surely there’s already an app for this, no?” 🤔
And the answer is: yes, I’m 100% sure there are many. 🤷♂️
BUT… finding them, comparing them, testing them, creating an account, discovering the free version is too limited, realizing they don’t work exactly the way you want, getting annoyed, trying another one… 🥱🥱🥱 can easily take more time than building the perfect tiny solution for your own use case.
I accept this is a new variant of the #NotInventedHere syndrome. Except that this time, for a not-so-small category of simple but useful apps, it actually makes sense.
Not because we should rebuild everything. But because sometimes the fastest path is not searching for the right tool. It is creating the small tool you need.
The app itself is very simple: basically a web wrapper on top of an Excel file.

What's that? #ubuntusnaps are badly designed for desktop usage? Who knew?
Scroll my feed whydontcha.
#Flatpak, #AppImage, take your pick. Much better integration and uses standard #SELinux - instead of having to suffer #Canonical and their #NotInventedHere syndrome with #AppArmor.

Seems to me that it's a combination of #NotInventedHere and #SourGrapes that's resulting in some "charged language".

And before you block me, nobody asked you for your opinion either.

@DataDrivenMD Yes. We do so well with people from other cultures arriving in the US. 🙄 We have SUCH a tradition of welcoming new technologies from unexpected places. 🙄🤨🫤🤬 #SarcasmFont #NIMBY #NotInMyBackyard #NIH #NotInventedHere
