If you wouldn't mind sharing more about this in the future I'd love to read about it.
I've been thinking about doing something like that myself because I'm one of those people who have tried countless apps but there's always a couple deal breakers that cause me to drop the app.
I figured trying to agentically develop a planner app with the exact feature set I need would be an interesting and fun experiment.
In 5 min you are one shotting smaller changes to the larger code base right? Not the entire 80k likes which was the other comments point afaict.
Both can be true. I have personally experienced both.
Some problems AI surprised me immensely with fast, elegant efficient solutions and problem solving. I've also experienced AI doing totally absurd things that ended up taking multiple times longer than if I did it manually. Sometimes in the same project.
