How many apps do you really need that are not already done - perhaps even better?

I've vibe coded all sorts of apps for my macbook.

A better replacement to iStat Menus.

A local-only voice to text whisper.cpp transcriber I can globally use while holding ctrl-semicolon.

A menubar app that manages blocky and can easily turn it off or change dns.

A tool like hammerspoon but I configure it via nix-darwin and it has no cruft.

All of these are apps that use 30MB memory and are better than the apps they replace, and I can make changes any time I want. That's far better than using someone else's software and giving it privileged access to my machine.

Also, perhaps the best point is that so much software is junk that is obsoleted by someone with better UX intuitions even if they are vibe-coding it. Being written by hand by an engineer means basically nothing when it comes to "is this a good app?" Which is why product-minded people are the biggest winners in the new AI era.

I can think of at least 1 major improvement to so many of the apps I use day to day.

Desktop software is nowhere near good enough to consider random usecases "already done". Not that glaze looks particularly special, but there's so many improvements the desktop experience begs for.

An easy to use cross-platform GUI builder for one. Even something as basic as a calendar app doesn't have a clear obvious winner today.

The problem that software suffers from is that every app/program tries to cover as many bases and use cases as possible in a single package. Obviously it's what you want to do if you want to maximize reach/customers.

Vibe apps are different. They do exactly what you want, exactly the way you want it done. No more downloading an app that is mysteriously 180MB and requires watching a youtube video to learn how to make it change your background every 5 minutes to different dog pictures.

Literally hundreds.

In the DOS days, I would have whipped them up in BASIC. This was standard practice for PC users who were not "software engineers" by trade.

The complication of PCs over the past 30+ years have robbed regular users of this ability.

Tools like this close the gap, and that's awesome.

how many problems do you have unsolved?
