I'm an indie iOS developer who makes an app called Happy Scale.

Charlie ChapmanExtremely excited about this: Added the ability to quickly add tap and swipe indicators over your screencaptures!
As someone who's manually built these in AE many times, this is going to be soooo nice

> Will we see a lot of software re-emerging as proprietary?
I don’t think it matters anymore. Coding agents are good enough at reverse engineering (even without tools like Hooper) if you have the binary the app is basically open source to you already.
Claude Code Opus 4.6 took 2.5mins to reverse engineer the reader app for an encrypted file format I reversed years ago and work out the full file format decryption pipeline, that took me days to work out.
All apps are basically open source now.
this is so weird. i'm envious of people who understand music and appreciate this deeper than i can

sam henri goldIntroducing WireView, a new tool for the iOS developer workflow. It’s primarily for me but you can have it, too. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wireview/id6756973128?mt=12
Kyle HughesApps are dead not because everyone will be incentivized to make their own bespoke apps. It's because the expectations of what a personal computer can do, and why, will change. Right now it's "my phone can do everything that there's an icon for, and if I want it to do something new then I have to get a new icon." Eventually (soon?) it will be "my phone can do whatever I tell it to do, within some bounds that I don't understand."
tgI've been building an RSS reader for the past year. No unread counts, no inbox to clear. Just a river that flows at its own pace.
Today it's live on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. I wrote about everything that went into it.
I suspect it won’t be long before all compiled software (apps) can be decompiled into readable source code.
There’s a large corpus of training data (open source) and there’s a tight verification loop (compile a guess at what the source is and see if it matches).
LLMs will figure out how to decompile small functions, and will gradually learn how to decompile more complex stuff.
I think within 2 years, all iOS apps will effectively be open source.
One of the best pieces I’ve read. I’ve been having that Jan/Feb 2020 feeling lately. Strongly suspecting that something big is about to happen.
