good thread from a designer I respect regarding the quality of personal/ephemeral software we use, there are some interesting points re: if the average person always wants disposable software, and that this trend doesn’t need to mean the entire wheel is always being reinvented in consumer products

bearish on vibe coded consumer grade "app stores" ... and on all pieces of software/UI becoming "hyper personal" or "generated." people don't know what they want or really need, nor do they know how to clearly articulate it. 

seeing others through our unique pov and creating

I think two things can be true at the same time: software can be content/can become more ephemeral and there can also be boundaries where core functionalities aren’t always ephemeral

small example of this: something like the @jc4p mini app today is a great example of a net new, fun piece of software that was spun up because of some trending content. but taking this ephemeral software stuff to the extreme, I don’t want to re-write the entire apple mail app just because I want to change something small like its filtering

from viral cast to a brand new viral mini app in hours

software is content
