There’s a lot of new apps right now, mostly vibe coded slop. It’s hard for new good apps to find their audience. My prediction, most of them will be gone in 12 months when Apple ask for another $100 to keep the app on the store. #BuildInPublic

Funny, a spreadsheet error gave the reason for austerity in the 2010s. How much of conservative thinking is based on not being able to use excel properly? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I write the code for my apps entirely by hand, no chatbots involved. There needs to be a word for it. Environmentally friendly? Are they organic?

It's now over a year since I released the first Japanese Walking app on the market. If you open the app store now and search "Japanese Walking" it's a long scroll of countless copies. I'm not convinced it was worth building those data centres for that

Why would I get left behind by not using the chatbots that don’t work properly now? I can just wait for a good one and then use that surely

October has been rough on all sales. No one is starting new diet or exercise regimes right now. Eating healthy? That sounds like a problem for 2027

Instead of scrapping the tripple lock for pensions, why not triple lock everyone’s salaries? That would ensure wage growth is enough to cover the pensions and at the same time discourage corporate price gouging

Okay so I finally looked up “what is hugging face”. It’s an open source software library. Why would you need to hack into a library? Just go in and get the book, no one stopping you

I also think ai will kill is all. Not because they have built something powerful, that’s just lies to get investment, but because the data centres are speeding up climate change

@pierrenovellie.bsky.social as someone who has built an app to play chess I can confirm it was a complete waste of time and chess.com is the only chess app. Does this app I made after a Wikipedia chess variant binge (largely while listening to budbod) qualify as an autism test? chessremix.app
