Finding it a bit wild that I've been working on something somewhat similar for a few weeks now.

I had the same experience, but someone calmed me down by saying "we're all working on solving this problem."

		As the great Nas once rapped: `No idea's original, there's nothing new under the sun It's never what you do, but how it's done`

		Yeah I guess so. At least the feature sets are also fairly diverse; putting them all together would create a whole other beast.

I’ve been working on something like this for a few years. Literally.

And I’ve noticed that my hobby project went from being a niche toy to something everyone was independently building almost overnight. My guess is that AI now makes it trivial for people to get started.

In any case, I since decided it would be better to focus on building my tool for myself rather than releasing it, like I was originally planning to do.

I'm seeing a lot of this across all sorts of apps right now. We're at a sort of cambrian explosion point for software.

I too built my own equivalent of this (belfry.robgough.net). I take it as a good thing, we're all using these tools and coming to similar conclusions.

I suspect over time it'll settle down, once we've gotten comfortable with the new ways of working and found the new normal.
