> most people are just speedrunning notetaking apps in JavaScript frameworks.
I feel seen. But seriously, my app, with my preferences, written by a semi-trustworthy entity that isn’t trying to shove ads down my throat. That’s really great.

i mean, i made myself a dvd player for my steam machine. i don't see how that makes anthropic money at real token costs.
when lyft line was heavily subsidized in SF by VC money, i used it almost daily to commute to work because it cost $2.50 each way. Now that it's $20, I don't use it.

Psst.... that's called "dumping".

Yup.
Methinks (hopes) we're entering the era of mass customization.
I've built easily a dozen personal apps in the last few months that I have no plans on releasing or sharing, run locally, and solve very specific productivity (or one-off) issues for me.
I would never have spent the time building these apps in the pre-LLM days because the effort wouldn't have been worth the gains.
But now? Sure Claude, build me a MacOS app in Swift that does this exact thing I need. Less than an hour later, it's done.
