Oh as a platform it's certainly a different level compared to building something for a set of products (versioning etc for a start). The thing is, if you build something yourself then it's an order of magnitude or two less complex. Unless you have little / no skills in backend.
That's the market; it's shocking (to me) how little knowledge even the largest and most highly rated "Mobile Agencies" actually have with systems which have a lifetime measures in decades vs months. Silly as I've worked with these "wordpress agencies" a lot and they've always been thin/wide skill wise (devs skills which are teachable in a few months but with designers + marketing added to the mix).
Your story is inspiring, thanks for sharing. I hope that I can eventually get over my blind spot as it is a career goal to build a small/medium sized company (with annual revenue around the $1M+ mark).
