Not the whole. I vibe coded part of it. I am a software developer and previously worked as a mobile developer. My stack is just react-native and a simple nodejs backend hosted in a vps.
You didn't try them!? If you have the ChaptGPT app it's super simple and worth a try. I talk to it in French a lot. It gets tedious though, because after almost every question it tries to end the conversation with "let me know if I can do anything else to help". I really want it to pretend to be curious and continue the conversation. I've thought that this could be fixed with some better prompting, so I'm excited to try out this app.
Thanks!
I just wanted to use it myself as it's always hard to find a native speaker to speak with when learning a language. The app is partly vibe coded. I myself am a software developer and had no problem reviewing the vibe coded code. I think it took me a little more than a month give or take, as i was not consistent with my commitment. I would say the syncing part of the conversation was the challenging part, which is still not perfect to be honest. As for user data, i don't store much of user data apart from the minutes used.
The deeper issue is that your product is one of many chatGPT wrappers with no unique hook, not that users can find out you're one of many chatGPT wrappers with no unique hook.
Very curious to know where you have been in the last few years for your to regard openai.com/chat as something known only to specialists and wholesalers. To stick with the sausage-making analogy: this is like someone selling costco hotdogs in the parking lot out of the back of a van for 25% markup because they pre-squeezed the ketchup on it.
How many people in the costco parking lot do you think there are that want costco hotdogs but are unaware of the existence of costco, costco hotdogs, ketchup, and what they cost?
but users do care eventually. they just don’t yet have the vocabulary that “other sausage makers” do. dismissing these concerns implies that outcomes matter and provenance doesn’t, which may be convenient if you’re building wrappers, but it’s corrosive if you care about ecosystems, incentives, and long-term quality when the app is compared to others in the market.
that app is not the only app in the market that focuses on conversation. feedback like this is worth taking seriously rather than waving off.
Cute parable but most rely on child sweatshop labor. Users express "thoughts and prayers" level of care if pressed, but not take up a trend of sewing their shirts to spare kids they will never meet RSI.
Noting competition exists seems focused on the outcome of making money. An obligation that exists in an exploitative economy. Where's your concern for the provenance of such obligations?
Yeah. Every expression of concern is probably something like social desirability bias, appearance of concern while sticking with status quo real effort of zero change. Low effort rhetorical "care".
People express concern about global warming and drive off in their SUV. They're just parroting social script.
