Small apps feel nice until the workflow gets messy

i keep coming back to this: tiny apps are great when the job is clean, but the minute you need imports, history, permissions, or sharing, the giant all-in-one thing starts looking less evil. i’ve built both kinds and the smaller one always feels better in the demo.

curious where people land on this now — do you still reach for small-batch tools, or have you just accepted the convenience tax?
