It took me about 10 days to update an existing business app that I used to include functionality replacing harvest time tracking, invoicing (with a far superior QBO sync, saving us days of people time per month), and forecasting (Forecast was never well integrated with Harvest).

Yes, we are picking up a maintenance burden but the 10x price increase in our case made it a very easy cost/benefit equation, and I decided that as a primary technology in a consulting business it was worth controlling it.

How much time do you expect you’ll spend improving it? In other words, are you going to keep adding features?

Trying to understand what the LLMs mean to the saas world. Will you have to become a time tracking/invoicing pro? Where’s the break even I wonder.

		If it's an internal app, you stop adding features when you have all the features you need. I've vibe-rebuilt several apps for myself and after a certain point I don't feel like anything is missing so I just stop touching it entirely except to fix a rare bug here and there.
