Learnt a lot from this post

Started testing my app in macOS Sequoia. Found few issues but nothing major yet. Unlike FileMinutes, my new app will only support Sequoia and above. SwiftUI has too many issues in older versions. For a large app, it is not worth the effort for the small market share of the older versions

I have looked at tons of new macOS apps. Many of them are beautiful, shiny, and polished. But a lot of them still feel like websites.
Some are built with web tech, which is understandable. But even some Swift apps use web-style design, and that never feels right to me.
Native apps have a rock-solid feel. Web apps feel more like shiny paper.
I like macOS apps that feel truly native. I do not want that web-like feeling.

Finally
We’re updating our ChatGPT Pro and Plus subscriptions to better support the growing use of Codex.
We’re introducing a new $100/month Pro tier. This new tier offers 5x more Codex usage than Plus and is best for longer, high-effort Codex sessions.
In ChatGPT, this new Pro tier still offers access to all Pro features, including the exclusive Pro model and unlimited access to Instant and Thinking models.
To celebrate the launch, we’re increasing Codex usage for a limited time through May 31st so that Pro $100 subscribers get up to 10x usage of ChatGPT Plus on Codex to build your most ambitious ideas.

It is interesting how AI is changing where the real work happens in software development.
The highest-value work is moving toward the start and end of the pipeline.
At the start: requirements, architecture, and UI design.
At the end: testing and release.
The middle part, implementation, used to be my primary focus. Now more of it is being automated.

Seeing this genuinely motivates me.
I had no idea such a successful and profitable product was built by only three engineers.
As a solo dev building my next-gen AI chat app, this gives me a lot of confidence.
The Obsidian team is growing from three engineers to four engineers.

Most devs use AI the wrong way. They just use it to speed up what they were doing before AI.
The right way to use AI is to do things that were previously impossible, or things that used to take too much time or cost too much.

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):
I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

This is really cool.
I really have to revisit my approach. I thought market for small apps are gone with the AI but unique apps still win as long as you are the first mover

You all are overthinking your app ideas.
This app makes your Mac moan when you slap it -> it made $5,000 in 3 days.
Just ship it.

This is awesome. I use Linear for issue tracking. Only requirement is I should be able to use existing subscriptions
Introducing Linear Agent.
Built directly into Linear and accessible everywhere, it understands your roadmap, issues, and code.
Ask anything. Command everything.

This is so cool.

Been gone from internet for a bit! Hiii again!!
Made this while exploring ways of interacting with AI — select and control the output length through pinching
More demos coming :)

As a native app developer, sad to see no one talking about native app as a solution. Our industry needs a reset and put things where it belongs to like JS go back to its origin in the browser

Claude’s desktop app is a joke. UI, UX, performance - everything about it is bad. I don’t understand how a company with infinite money can’t hire someone, or at least allocate resources, to fix it. Compared to it, the Codex app is a masterpiece.

If you are building a product, my advice is to take the same time you would have taken before AI.
The reason is AI has lowered the barrier to entry. If you build an app in a few days, you’ll now be competing with tons of similar apps, including vibe-coded ones.
You need to go to the next level. It doesn’t mean adding more features or making the app complicated. Use the time to polish it, focus on user experience, spend time on marketing, and anything that differentiates it from others.
