Hey all I built Teardown, a SDK for React Native & Expo apps.

It gives you absolute control over which app versions can run. Force updates. Block broken builds. End backward-compatibility hell.

Also we just launched on PH and would love your support.

I have never personally experienced a need for a tool like this, but I think it is a really cool idea and an elegant execution to a very real problem. Best of luck!

Is this satire?

I don't think it is and I think it is a good idea. Not every company needs this, and often, ensuring backwards compatibility is preferable. But I can see a lot of very good engineering behind this.

I can respect this comment, and partially agree.

I think for the average engineer who can just build anything. They could just implement this themselves. This product is not for this engineer.

My goal is to enable engineers/vibecoders who want to build an app fast and not have to worry about how its done and just get going.

Not satire, but maybe ask a better question into my why then I could explain.
