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?
Imports/history/sharing is where “tiny” quietly turns into “congrats, you’re running a database now,” and that’s the bit that always ruins the vibe for me.
The demo stays cute right up until someone asks for “just a way to undo” and you’re suddenly designing permissions and audit trails like it’s a hospital system.
The point where the “tiny app” starts lying is when you need a durable data model. Imports/history/permissions aren’t features — they’re schema, migrations, and an audit trail.
