Shipping a usable Mac app in days instead of months is genuinely a big deal. What feels weird to me lately: my r/macapps and r/vibecoding feed is full of small AI utilities. Chat wrappers, writing helpers, tiny menu bar tools, that were vibe‑coded in no time, but stil

Can we make this a (-n even) better place by...

- helping developers find great NEW ideas? I don't know about you, but if i come here to see another paste-xx screenshot teleprompt fitness tracker ... i'm gonna cry. Crying is bad, hurts this wonderful place here. I expect devs to be careful with spreading ideas, some one else could make millions of bucks with, i understand and don't expect them to. But what about the rest of us coming here with app ideas - stuff th
