I'm a dev/creative person. I have code and I have assets and I sometimes need to be in apps to manipulate assets and increasingly I'm looking for ways to agents to take care of it. I want to use apps less and less because I've witnessed how good an agent can be when given the right prompt/tools. As a photographer, I'd be happy to simply pop an SD card into my computer and tell an agent what to do with the contents.
I might push them on GitHub but don't really expect anyone to use them or contribute. Just recently I've built a small layer on top of beets (The music library organizer) to improve some of my workflows (https://github.com/dewey/beets-importer), others might have the same use case but they might as well just generate their own tool for exactly what they need.
Yes, but also people in the HN bubble overestimate how many people would want to sit down and "prompt their own app". Just like I mostly don't want to bake my own bread and leave it to the professionals at the bakery.
I might be excited about doing my own music library management script, but probably less excited about building my own Photoshop if there's already a company in that space focusing on that as their core business.
