This is the epitome of "my idea didn't get stolen, it just got tired of waiting"! Just kidding (although I did have a similar idea for an app a couple months ago but didn't end up fully commiting to it.)
Anyway this is a pretty useful idea. What made you start off creating it?
You got the gist of it. Then it just kind of took off.
The TLDR:
Where it started: me standing in front of a long aisle of dog food bags at Costco, racking my memory for which kind I was supposed to buy next for my finicky golden retriever, Kilo.
How it ended: me building Rotation List, so nobody will ever have to forget again.

With an AI assist, there was no reason to stop adding improvements as I thought of them, so I didn't.

That is the mantra of today, yes. In a similar vein, I made my initially personal C course into something I could make public-facing, with some refinements, I also kept adding features but them my "sanity"(?) kicked in and i squashed a couple to be only in dev mode. Perhaps they will return to the public version after a round of refinement.
The thing is, it's real. Or it was for the golden era of cheap tokens. When tokens get expensive, we'll see how that changes things. With AI, you can think in terms of features rather than implementation; that's a totally different way of working.
I first programmed in C on a PDP 11 many years ago. I'm curious what you mean by "public vs. dev mode"?
