I tried making a Things clone yesterday.

Spent maybe 7 hours of promoting with Fable.

I wanted to get drag and drop right, and I wanted good code architecture to start with.

It’s using TinyBase for data storage.

Here’s how far I got in 7 hours: https://focuslist.app

Yes, much faster than writing all of that by hand.

But prompting quality software into existence? No way. It would take at least another full time week to finish that app with all the detail I desire.

A week is fast, no? Would it be faster by hand?

50 hours of work seems like a tiny investment.

  • Yeah, but I was reacting to idea of "frontend developer career coming to an end".

    I guess kinda - the job will change from "frontend developer" to "UI inventor"..
