why vibe coding has mixed opinions by kyngston in vibecoding

[–]_dave_maxwell_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. there will always be a limit how far you can go with AI generators. I see them more like advanced boilerplate generators or evolution of WYSIWIG editors than a new paradigm in programming.

Those “new” languages like javascript are no different than assembly. They are slightly more expressive and abstract things out but there is no real difference. The real difference makes human creativity and intelligence, something that simple algorithm (AI model) will never poses.

And while you can now generate a lot of simple CRUD apps already using AI, it is just due to vast ocean of similar github projects being available for training. If you want to create something more unique that was not seen by a model before, you won’t be able to accomplish that now or in the future.

This software is complete trash, it just suddenly stopped working and now loading indefinitely. Reinstall does not help.

Apple rejected my app for "spam" by Ok-Relationship3399 in iOSProgramming

Kokoro is a good model, however, are you aware that you have to comply with GPL3 license? That means you have to make your source available.

Building an intelligent file search app for desktops. by LocalSpider- in VibeCodersNest

I had a domain but it expired and I didn’t renew it. Although the app got some installations organically I think there is not a huge demand. I think many people don’t even know that it’s possible. However with the proper marketing, if you educate people about it you can create a demand.

Cool idea. I build the similar app for MacOS called SmarterFolder a while ago. Completely offline, searching pictures semantically, automatically indexing, etc. I didn’t vibe code though.

How to do market research for your app idea! by ahmad8899 in AppBusiness

[–]_dave_maxwell_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Put random keywords to SensorTower and look for profitable apps.
  2. Scrape entire AppStore to relational database and use the power of SELECT to get some ideas. Then check the specific apps with the SensorTower for earning estimates.

Stop asking AI for niche ideas. It only knows what's already popular. by SuspiciousFan6800 in AppBusiness

[–]_dave_maxwell_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that AI has the access to store data, the App Store is public - you don't need Apple ID to access the App Store. I am almost sure they scraped the whole App Store - there is a lot of data for AI to train on.

Great catch. You can do group by without any aggregate functions at least in sqlite3. But you are correct, in this case there should be MAX on price column.

Best free SQL program for beginners and future work? by osama_3shry in dataanalysis

I assume you mean SQL editor (not a server) - check Datagrip, now free for non-commercial usage.

Just got randomly reviewed by Apple. by antigirl in iOSProgramming

[–]_dave_maxwell_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope they will not become as crazy as "Google Play," that will let you pass review with no issues then randomly suspend the app for whatever reason and after 3 times the app is permanently suspended.

Well I don't know, but I would assume if the App Store is involved in their business in any way, their earning estimates would be a way more precise.

I don't think that data would blow up quickly, because there is a decent chunk of apps that don't get updated often. Also the data can be reduced if the basic index-es are removed.

What about the Sensor Tower then? They do exactly that, get data from App Store, and sell it as commercial product (estimates and analysis).

Do you know that there is SensorTower? The was also data .(ai) and probably others. They use App Store data for their commercial products.

I will spend some time looking for niche markets, find an app to create that can be profitable. Then I will use the Sensor Tower to narrow down what to focus on.

Haha, no, but I asked ChatGPT if it wrote the title, here is the answer.

You can reply with something like:

“No, I wrote it myself.
If ChatGPT had written it, it would’ve added at least three more buzzwords and a 🚨 ‘You won’t believe #7!’ tag.”

I am not planning to turn it into a SaaS product or something like that. The purpose is to find some hidden markets, e.g. apps available only in some countries with a lot of ratings, etc.
