... fact that your boss looked at this and went "I'll just build you a physical device" tells you everything, that's not a niche annoyance, that's a problem painful enough that someone's first instinct is hardware.

... experience, code is only one piece of the puzzle. Building Picspace involved far more than generating code: understanding users, validating that the product solves a real problem, prioritising features, shaping the UX, positioning the product, storytelling, branding, pricing, legal topics, infrastructure, deployment, analytics, marketing, talking to users, timing, and constantly iterating based on feedback.
