This is exactly the sort of software that was hard to prioritise before LLMs, and trivial to build with LLMs.
There's nothing interesting going on here, and I don't mean that as a criticism. There's a clear schema, no particularly clever UX needed, you can build almost all of this out of standard UI components, and the problem is well defined.
The only challenge is the actual time input for coding, and that's mostly gone today.
Apple is a multi-trillion dollar corporation. They spent billions on a doomed car project which never saw the light of day. They release unfinished software on an unsustainable schedule. Their software quality has been declining for over a decade. Their design is lacklustre now and issues go unaddressed indefinitely. They are shoving ads everywhere.
The last thing they need is more things to get distracted with. They don’t need LLMs, they need to care and focus on making good products.
They are doing fine. Things are much better since '84. The products are greater than ever. You know what, get a used Thinkpad, smell around Windows, then throw a distro on it and really find out for yourself how bad the macOS is.
I do, nostalgically, miss HyperCard once in a while, but just the idea of it. I am salty about how they dismissed Sal Soghoian and Keith Stattenfield though, those decisions baffle me. They could pay them for life to stay fellows at a cost of 100th of a mosquito bite.
