I stopped looking for apps that do exactly what I want, and started vibe-coding the missing features

Finding the perfect app that fits all our preferences is a challenge. Even the best apps have flaws, and sometimes, a single desired feature is missing. This led me to start building the features I wish my apps had, rather than searching endlessly for a perfect one.

By building apps that cater to my unique preferences, I'm no longer waiting for developers to add features I want.
