I’m an indie developer and I see the explosion in apps in my niche (creative tools for photography/videography).

They wouldn’t have taken years to ship before, but easily a couple months.

Now the moment any app with any value gets popular, the App Store gets flooded with quick vibe coded copycat clones (very recognizable AI generated icon included).

The quality is low, but the impact this flood has on the market is real.
