Heh, you're in for a rude awakening, sometime in the future :) But I won't spoil the surprise, you clearly have made up your mind about what to focus on.

Crazy, this app you've run for ~1-2 months has 10K active users already, even though there is zero info about who runs it, zero reviews, and says "Download on the App Store" on the landing page even though you then ask people to use the web app, impressive.
I don't think anyone said using AI can't produce a ton of code really quickly, and no one is finding that difficult to manage either. But most of us software engineers are trying to build long-lasting codebases with AI too, then "less === better" typically, so it's not about being able to spit out features as fast as possible, but avoid the evergrowing codebase from collapsing on top of itself, and each prompt not getting slower and slower, but as fast as on a greenfield project.
Sounds like you've found the holy grail of being able to avoid that, kudos if so. Judging by you giving zero care to how the design and architecture actually is, I kind of find that hard to believe. But, if it works for you, it works for you, not up to me or others to dictate how you build stuff, hope you enjoy it, however you build stuff :)

Already running for a decade+ in production, recently talked about my stack here: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=faangguyindia&next=4...

People in the community already know who runs it; most others don't care. You won't get 10K users without people getting results. It's a free app, so not like I am spending bucks to advertise it on social networks.
The app is completely free, doesn't upload data to any server (other than Sentrycrash reporting), doesn't ask for any email or phone number. When people get results, they share them with their friends. That's how it's growing.

On iOS, we’ve a PWA app. I am well aware of it.
