You use a coding agent to make and app? Straight to jail. Language server? Jail. Syntax highlighting? Believe it or not, jail.

Im reading the comments here and most of them are regarding what AI did, what AI didnt and not much about the apps functionality, which is lameeee

That's because - given the flashy page and branding and all - it's irrelevant.

The thing is not about code or solving a problem, and we also shouldn't be pretending that it is, because that is what slop, grifters and businesspeople bank on.

Also, you can be sure that the features that do exist are half-baked at best, given that any person with eyes can see that the priorities lie elsewhere.

Yes, that is what I meant.

Go use echo to write your code, otherwise you're not a real coder.

I think this sentiment deserves its own serious discussion. It probably won't happen for another few years when the emotions and defensiveness settle, but there's a separate problem happening from quality. Quantity is its own problem. Whether or not any of these hourly new product announcements are any good, nobody can possibly try 24 different pieces of software a day, let alone switch to actually using them. So all we get are superficial heuristic analyses basically amounting to either "cool, this looks vaguely similar to something I might want" or "AI;DR."

Agentic coding will do for indie software what dating apps did for human relationships. Animal brains are not equipped to deal with having this much choice.

Tbf, in this case, it flags based on something we had before AI as well.

Open<Brand> + SEO on Steroids webpage is usually misaligned with the user. That didn't really change. The only thing that did change is that producing this slop has gotten much much cheaper.

What is true though is that eventually, even the most gullible person will have been exposed to this so much, even they will finally manage to stop their hijacked justice reflex from twitching and defending garbage against their own best interest.

So that's a positive.
