lol there’s a rip off of electric zine maker on the app store that’s vibe coded with in app purchases to unlock templates… i know it shouldn’t bother me but the creator justified it being vibe coded because they are a solo dev and that’s “the only way to ship something solo”… i’m reeling at that… i made Electric Zine Maker ENTIRELY SOLO. it’s not vibe coded at all or pay to unlock… it’s free for the community… it’s also not ripping anyone off with AI use… AI was never necessary but hey 🤷

    like fine take what people like me make and act like you were the original creator that invented this type of thing… it happens all the time… but ffs don’t excuse vibe coding on being a solo dev. that’s just disrespectful to solo devs. rip me off. ok. excuse vibes coding on being solo. no! 😡😤

  • @alienmelon@mastodon.social could you link to your electric zine maker? Would be nice to promote yours instead!

  • @alienmelon@mastodon.social You rock and I second using this for self-promotion. I'd really like to see honest and competent folks self-promote their AI bullshit "competitors" into oblivion!

    @alienmelon@mastodon.social Just about everything in the app store (either platform) is some sort of rip-off, because the platform is just not made to encourage developers to give away their work. Everything there is focused on monetisation. Your app is just going to languish in obscurity if you don't pay money to promote it somehow anyway, so there's no point making one that won't pay for that.
