<p>You do not sound very genuine. It does not say it is multi-entry fee enywhere. For tourists very few countries ask more except visa fee (and many do not require visa at all). For UK this fee is only 16GBP for 2 years and not 1200 USD:<p><a href="https://homeofficemedia.blog.gov.uk/electronic-travel-authorisation-eta-factsheet-april-2025/" rel="nofollow">https://homeofficemedia.blog.gov.uk/electronic-travel-author...</a></p>

<p>I have similar story. Recently facebook forced me to enable 2-factor auth but adding SMS did not work for me for a whole week and I just deleted the app. Later I opened facebook from mobile browser and added SMS as 2nd factor and now I have opened Facebook from mobile browser only once in more than a week and I don't miss it much. It  was the only "social" network I used besides reddit and hacker news</p>

<p>At my work we have similar issues with all big companies we have some kind of integration. Apple, Google, Facebook... Even Huawei app store decided to copy our apps without asking us first and now we have issues managing them. Too much time is spent to appease those companies and for me it starts to feel like some kind of conspiracy theory...</p>

<p>That's why we offloaded phone validation to Telegram - it is too costly to send SMS in other countries than our home market and spammers are finding ways to get phone numbers for free from different VoIP providers. We need to implement complicated SMS sending limit logic to avoid abuse</p>

<p>Verifying phone number is one of the last things which is still effective when fighting against bot registrations. Alternative is to ask money for registration.<p>Here is idea for hacker news crowd: make service which is a proxy for phone number validation: user needs to validate his phone number once in that app and any other 3rd-party service can ask this app for security code which confirms phone number ownership. We use something similar by offloading phone number confirmation via Telegram bot. Also this proxy service could optionally offload management of "bad" phone numbers used by spammers and add other protections</p>

<p>I haven't see any project which feels fast which are written in React. But most important thing for me which is broken (because it is too difficult to catch all edge cases) in all the JS frontends is the broken navigation (browser's back and forward almost never work as expected, bookmarking links are broken because state is in JS etc.)</p>

Maybe you can automate finding Western busineses still using software made in Russia and recomend alternatives. Or nudge Western IT companies to provide special deals for Ukrainian developers</p>
