There is a huge market of these kind of tools for hyperscaling IRL market startups like Uber, Lyft, Doordash, Airbnb, Ghostkitchens etc.du

They scale up and hire a shitton operations people with a small technical knack - while working with the same shitty systems that they built for the first year of the company.

Combine that with the massive blitscaling they do by just constantly opening new cities and new countries.

And you have a massive demand for quick fixes to bandaid scaling issues. Ive seen companies use shit like iMacros extensions, vimium browser extensions and also custom chrome extenstion to fix that.

Nowadays its pushing more to google appscript (gsheet scripting language) and stuff like airtable/coda, maybe in some cases advanced shit like retool (INSANE).
