gryd.ioVibe-coded in-house link shortening tool

Josh Golosinskiy's team at gryd.io replaced Dub (link shortening) with a tool vibe-coded in-house, in one move that also dropped Apollo, Wistia, Tweek, Databox, PandaDoc, AuthoredUp, Livestorm, Typeform, MagicPost, Instantly, Zapier and Kondo, which have their own stories. They did it mainly to get features added on request, the running cost of the rebuilt tools is shared across all thirteen stories, and HubSpot and Stripe have not been replaced.
