In the /r/macapps subreddit, they have huge influx of new apps posts, and the "whisper dictation" is one of the most saturated category. [0]

>“Compare” - This is the most important part. Apps in the most saturated categories (whisper dictation, clipboard managers, wallpaper apps, etc.) must clearly explain their differentiation from existing solutions.

This. I posted this on my other comment, but there's a meme that "Gen Z Kids Don't Understand How File Systems Work" [0].

There seems to be a disconnect between some developers and the younger folks.

Thanks! Although, I can't claim any credit for it. I just spent a day gluing what other people have built. Huge props to the Gemma team for building an amazing model and also an inference engine that's focused for edge devices [0]

This app is cool and it showcases some use cases, but it still undersells what the E2B model can do.

I just made a real-time AI (audio/video in, voice out) on an M3 Pro with Gemma E2B. I posted it on /r/LocalLLaMA a few hours ago and it's gaining some traction [0]. Here's the repo [1]

I'm running it on a Macbook instead of an iPhone, but based on the benchmark here [2], you should be able to run the same thing on an iPhone 17 Pro.

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.
