Totally agree. There are significantly more new apps being released. I've been visiting the /r/macapps subreddit and they're having trouble filtering new submissions. I generally like the direction that they're taking https://www.reddit.com/r/macapps/comments/1ryaeex/rmacapps_m...
Even though it's more troublesome to submit apps to App Store, it's one signal that the app is not a malware.
Wow, this subreddit looks like the apocalypse of vibe coded projects/apps. Kind of similar to what happened to "show HN". Too many ideas, not enough problems to solve, and likely bad implementations. The result is that nobody uses any of the apps.
In AI conversations, people often forget that at the end of a day, an actual human needs to use your stuff.
