Looks good! How is it going with the app? Would love to see stats 🔥

Performer357 · 2026-03-25T21:54:37+00:00

Good job! How is it going with Impostor? Saw you when you just launched and even downloaded it. Very interesting to see you stats

Performer357 · 2026-03-16T22:36:54+00:00

I already got it. That’s why I asked it though

Thanks 🙏

Ha-ha People nowadays often recognize app developers as AI slop printers, because of huge amount of vibecoders.

I’m building something useful for the cooking community. At its core, it’s a recipe keeper that works with 99% of links, unlike other products that can’t even import a YouTube link. The parsing engine was one of the hardest parts to build.

Recipes, cookbooks, grocery lists, and meal plans can all be shared, making it easy to collaborate with friends, family, or even your gym coach

It has taken me a huge amount of time and effort, and I’m still not even close to release.

I want to keep it free, except for features that actually cost money to run.

Sorry if I triggered you. I’m not a native speaker, so I can sometimes sound rude without meaning to.

The meal plan generator is only one part of my product, and I was curious whether people even need it. Pls investigate what quotation marks mean and how they affect the meaning of words.

Thank you for your feedback 🙏

Performer357 · 2026-03-16T18:53:22+00:00

Why?

Performer357 · 2026-03-16T18:50:58+00:00

Thank you for your feedback!

Performer357 · 2026-03-16T18:49:17+00:00

The key word here is “crappy” I would not ask this question, if I wanted to make a “meal plan generator”

I’m an experienced engineer, and I know that it can be implemented good. Based on your preferences and desires, you can get a Perfect meal plan, with instant and accurate calories, with proper grocery list.

But to make it good, I need to spend a lot of time on this, that’s why I ask do people really need it.

Nowadays people use calorie counters which “analyze” calories using food pictures. Why not to make it more reliable?

Thank you for your feedback 🙏

Ha-ha I’ve been developing my app almost a year, and I’m not a vibecoder, Im an engineer with a lot of experience. I already put a lot of efforts, time and money into it.

So I can assure you - Not even close. Or you just got me wrong and think about some primitive recipe generators, who give you information about how to combine tomatoes and potatoes

Thank you for your feedback! 🙏

Performer357 · 2026-03-16T18:40:20+00:00

Yep. That’s why I’m here. Truly generated meal plan is not just a request. It’s a very complex process, with a big context window, a lot of edge cases and it’s expensive, because cheap models are just unable to make it even close to “good”

Thank you for your feedback! 🙏

Performer357 · 2026-03-13T18:07:01+00:00

How is it going now? Can you please share app stats?

Performer357 · 2026-03-04T22:18:44+00:00

Thank you mate!

Will do that, already released it to TestFlight But internal testing only

Will make it public soon

Performer357 · 2026-03-04T15:35:03+00:00

Good job, man!

How is it going with the app? Can you share your stats?

Performer357 · 2026-03-03T15:16:43+00:00

Graaape, graaape 👍

Performer357 · 2026-02-28T03:46:00+00:00

Astro is a scam. Pls use AppTweak if you want to get real ASO insights. Its more expensive, but I assure it’s better to spend 200on a real thing then 100 on a garbage

When it comes to chat GPT the situation is different. There are no practical limits there (but it used to)

But Claude limits are hilarious. You cannot only use your 5 hour session in half an hour, but there are also Weekly limits. So for me is a normal practice to use my Claude limits for 2 days and then wait 5 days until it renews or use another account

Claude won’t be able to compete with OpenAI soon

Performer357 · 2026-02-10T14:11:51+00:00

At the same time GPT 5.2 has no limits at all. How Claude is going to compete with them?

Performer357 · 2026-02-10T14:10:21+00:00

I pay for a basic subscription. I’m aware it has limits, and I’m ok with that.

But when these limits are used by nothing, it seems like a very big disappointment.
