replyOk, so do you have a counterexample?
Here's mine. It's not big or important (at all!) but I think it is a perfectly valid app that might be useful to some people. It's entirely vibe-coded including code, art and sounds. Only the idea was mine.
replyCan you give me any new (i.e. released in 2026) app that does something useful? There's just not many good app ideas left after all..
replyI wrote my own note sharing app using free Claude. It's self-hosted, allows for non-simultaneous editing by multiple users (uses locks), it has no passwords on users, it shows all notes in a list. Very simple app, over all. It's one Go file and one HTML file. I like it, it's exactly what I want for sharing notes like shopping and todo lists with my partner.
replyThe AI wouldn't have been able to do it by itself, but I wouldn't have been arsed to do it alone either.
That has some strong "Everything that can be invented has been invented" vibes.
replyIf that would be true then all these AIs are useless. Who needs them to built something that already exists?
"Everything that can be invented has been invented"
replyAh my favorite, entirely made up quote.
Apocraphyly attributed to the U.S. Patent Office Commissioner in 1899.
Just shown me a new killer app from the app store that is coded by AI and isn’t an AI app itself.
replySeems like the rest of the whole AI business, the only things going to the top are the AI tools themselves but not the things they are supposed to built.
