I don’t want to have to navigate 15 different half baked versions of calendly or debug edge cases in my calorie tracker. Theirs always gonna be a place for basic software that’s well designed, maintained and fairly priced.

I'd love to read something about what exactly that is, for consumer-facing apps people view as basic.
