SaaS users struggle to adapt rigid apps to real workflows
People whose work does not fit a SaaS product’s built-in workflows may be forced to use awkward manual steps, or look for ways to extend the app they cannot modify. Developers also seek clearer ways to discover app integrations and compare workflow tools. The signals point to a need for better ways to find and apply customization options, though they do not establish how many people would pay for them.
For saaS users and developers adapting tools to their workflows. Mentioned from Sep 2024 to Aug 2026 on Bluesky and Hacker News.

Instead of buying a SaaS product and force fitting it to kind of solve your problem but not really and needing some half cocked manual process needed to just about fit your needs
You can't modify it, but you can extend it which imo is the next best thing
