I wrote about this on the board a few days ago, and I'm also posting it here on the dev community.
I made it as a hobby out of personal need due to mental aging.
This time, instead of just casually using Vibe for simple debugging, I built it from scratch with Vibe from the beginning.
* App name: Where Did I Put It?
* Purpose: To write down the location of items you can't remember where you put them, before you forget.
* Development period:
In calendar days it's 2 days, but less than 10 hours of pure development time excluding eating and sleeping, including store submission. Without design refinement, I think it could be cut in half or more.
* Language and Target:
Flutter / Android, iOS
* Helpers:
ChatGPT, Cursor
I mainly conversed with ChatGPT and just copy-pasted the prompts it gave into Cursor and ran them. What impressed me was how it sequentially broke down and listed the prompts I needed to input myself.
And there are almost no build errors, but even when they do occur, one line of "fix build error" fixes everything, which was awesome. Especially since build environments like Gradle used to be a real pain in the past.
And ChatGPT handled most of the UI design and app icon as well. Really, I only changed color codes and font sizes (things so simple it was too lazy to have Cursor do), built it, and uploaded to the store.
My impression after trying it is that the developer pool is indeed drying up... Only architects will survive a bit longer (though they'll probably fade too eventually).
I haven't paid for developer registration on App Store Connect yet, so I can't upload it,
and it's in internal testing on Play Store. (Since some point they require gathering 12 people and testing for 14 days to officially list it)
So, if you have time, I'd really appreciate it if you could just try installing it once.
How to install the beta test app:
1. After joining the Google Group below,

2. Install from Play Store (if you don't join the Google Group, you won't be able to access the link)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.ikryp.whereisit
If you happen to want to try it on iPhone, please let me know. I'm considering uploading to App Store around next week. ^^
