You're right on a few points. This post is absolutely intended to bring attention to the situation, and the app itself is not technically complex, it's a polished GUI for System Information, and that's the point.

My primary goal with this post is to get the perspective of HN, this comment included. I think is genuinely relevant to this community. The fact that a simple, validated utility can be cloned five times in two weeks, with some even plagiarizing the marketing copy, feels like a significant new dynamic for indie developers.

The conversation I was hoping to have is about "how do we, as developers, build in an era where any successful idea can be replicated and shipped by others in a matter of days?"

That's the core of the issue I find fascinating and a little scary.

The main concern for me, why this post is not flagged yet.

As for your question. This issue exists forever. If you can build something in a few hours, somebody else can too. If your idea is unique, maybe spend a bit more time to actually ship a product, not MVP.
