These small utilities are great, now so quick and easy to create. I made a TUI version and then grew tired of it and ported it to Electron, took less than an hour for each. For those complaining about YAML format, you can create your own in less than an hour using whatever format you want.
The potentially disheartening thing about the ability to create apps like this, they are just low effort are they even worth sharing anymore? I have personal clones of Postman, Teux Deux, Goodreads and a few other utilities. Previously I would clean them up, document, and share out, but now I don't bother with most of it. Just not worth it, when people can make their own customized to their whims.
Being able to make apps like these so quickly with AI now has actually let me learn more than anything. I agree that most are not worth sharing, but as primarily C# developer, I've been making it a point to try out different languages that I would have otherwise never have touched like Rust and Go. That being said, I think with enough polish and a little bit of passion like this Slumber app, they do become worth sharing.
Yea I don't bother trying to share my personal tools anymore. Many are just quickly slopped out by Claude and work well for me but they're not passion projects or polished to be consumable by others.
