I've had some luck with this too. Every device you buy wants you install an app on your phone. Not if I can help it.

Wish I could release the apps I've "made", but worry about DMCA

Just release it under a pseudonym. The worst they will do is force it off GitHub! Don't redistribute the firmware files if you're really concerned. I am also sort of struggling with this idea so I get where you're coming from.

    GitHub is seemingly decent for this sort of thing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49982498

    I wish someone would Fluxer [1] GitHub for self hosting.

    It is a bit of a pain to make an anonymous GitHub account. That's literally what this whole identity is (I'm making a Nitter style frontend for a meditation app and I'd rather not take any chances). At this point just use a residential proxy like the Telegram people.

    [1] Fluxer is an excellent most promising privacy focused Discord clone.

    The UI is almost an exact copy of Discord, which, despite what people will say, is actually very good. More privacy focused alternatives should rip the UI of their competitor if it's good so that users get the benefits of more privacy while knowing exactly how the service works.

Release the transcripts from the prompting sessions you had and I think most people familiar enough with LLMs will be able to replicate your results.

That sounds interesting. What's the usual approach, install the app in some emulator or something, and ask your agent to reverse engineer it? Or is the setup for the agent to work simpler than that?

    yes pretty much, spin up a vm, run your coding agent of choice and ask it to reverse engineer whatever part of the app you need. You dont need to setup the emulation sandbox or even download the app, agent can take care of that.

Use pseudonym and when you get DMCA request, you take it down...

    Its a lot of work to actually be anonymous, use a clean browser, vpn, tor, etc... It's too easy to slip up.
