Who wants to use a mobile app for dev work anyway, AI or not?
I do. I've been in situations where I've done it to keep myself occupied, where pulling out a laptop would've been impractical and arguably not cool.
Is this a common enough occurrence that you'd pay a subscription for an app to do this? I can't think of many use cases
Oh, I don't think it needs to be a subscription. It's not common but I've had the need to do it.
I imagine people that don’t know what things like files and folders, web browsers or even “applications” are.
What business do people like that have trying to write one, then?!
I don't mean to gatekeep, but... fuck it, I do mean to gatekeep: people should have a basic level of competence -- or at least a shred of intellectual curiosity in becoming competent -- to write software!
I feel like, if they don’t have those things, whatever they write won’t wind up being software
That guy you met at a party that has a "killer app idea" Lol jk, probably not even him
Hmm, maybe coupled with speech recognition? Vibe coders are more the talking type/tech enthusiast anyway.
