We're pretty much still building the tools to build the software renaissance.
It's here already, but not at a global scale.
You can pick any application you pay for, but only use 10% of the features of, and create a bespoke version that only has that 10% in it. It'll take you a day to get an MVP and maybe a week or two for it to be "good enough".
I thought about doing that with Todoist.. and then just decided I'd rather pay the $4-5/mo or whatever to not have to use unpolished apps and sync server
That's funny, I felt the exact opposite and found it fun to research how to make things sync properly and architect the solution for my LLM to then build. Currently I'm using Loro for the syncing.
Why would you do that though if 10% of the other software is better?
Maybe it's not better. Maybe your vibe coded solution is much better for your specific use case. For example I recently wanted something that could track my watch history for shows I have locally and sync them to all devices, sort of like Jellyfin, and I couldn't find something that did what I needed so I had to make my own.
