Building (or vibecoding) a markdown editor for a single user and their specific use case, for a 100 users, and for 10,000 users takes different amount of time and effort. In the pre-LLM days people with resolve to make 1-user version were likely to polish it for 100-users and somewhat likely to get it to a stable place when it can satisfy thousands of users.

Today on /r/macapps/ there’s a wave of apps that look good at the first glance but get abandoned before they achieve even a 100-users maturity level.

i mean, sure. but the point is, you yourself are often a solo user of these little productivity apps. if you're not using team-based features then a lot of these things aren't worth paying for.

I didn’t mean collaboration features. I clumsily used 10,000-users as a measure of the app completeness.

		"10k user completeness" might be full of "features" you don't want that clutter the ui and add entropy. You know how you think and know your goals so a customized, focused solution would be better than something for the general masses.
