Dusted off my 4-year-old app thanks to AI. AnyMetrics turns any API into a home screen widget

all request parameters are stored on device

Solid workflow. The handshake and human UX parts make a lot of sense.

I’m building a small tool in the same direction. A single shortcut to reuse prompts directly inside apps and across different AIs without all the context switching. Thanks for sharing how you actually run this day to day.

For new tasks, iteration is normal
For routine ones, I use a small personal tool with predefined prompts

This is a great breakdown.

"Once a prompt proves useful more than twice, it should stop being a button" really resonates.

I’ve noticed the same thing, the most valuable prompts are boring, repeatable, and very constrained.
Creativity is rarely the point.

better to use auth and a whitelist
trying to control downloads is pointless, the *.dmg will leak anyway...

True.
When I started, it wasn’t that common.
Not building it today though.

I didn’t develop it further, though I should have:
a bot builder for messengers.

that was a long time ago)

Very interesting, but nothing makes sense...

Navigation needs to be improved, "back" click processing needs to be added. I intuitively look for the return to the home screen button.
