It’s crazy how much of the internet and our app stacks depend on proprietary hosted service integrations that will almost certainly disappear or break in time. Sure it’s convenient to get off the ground with but it doesn’t make sense to me to gate your functionality on a third party that can easily break or slip out from under you. It would be one thing if proprietary software was distributed in a form you could keep operating and using on your own, but even that is obviously inferior to being able to “repair your own equipment”.
