In over 3 decades of software development, every single app that I wrote which depends exclusively on a third party API or data set has eventually (and suddenly) died a horrible death when the vendor decided to (a) shut down external access (b) change their API significantly without warning, or (c - more commonly) build it within their app themselves after seeing the demand and traction my 3rd party apps were getting. I still develop optional 3rd party add ons for other vendors, but I will never ever again rely on a single vendor 'lock in' with any of my apps. |
