More than ambitious, I can now build things I had no time for but had the idea and architecture in place since long. A cool side project for me recently has been to allow reading more than books on my Kobo reader. I built an SDK and apps that allows e-ink apps with sandboxing and permissions model, auto-updates, shared capabilities etc. to be built for Kobo https://github.com/BandarLabs/Cobalt

this is exactly my relationship with it. "This idea is super satisfying, would essentially be ops-nirvana, but would take me literally forever to write lol. Oh well."
Very cool and creative example of using AI. I'd never think of building a Kobo app :D

Is it? And that's no shade to the OPs project, it looks awesome.
But, frankly, it blows my mind that anyone with a passing interest in software hasn't seen AI as an incredible capability enhancer. How are they not doing everything they ever wanted?
So many people just sit around and complain about it. It's impossible for me to wrap my head around.

That's super cool. Not quite the same, but I created my own version of Remote Buddy, but with only the features I need, plus some extras like low battery alert and fixing a looooong standing bug with Remote Buddy where I'd need to restart there app every other day or so.
It's pure vibes, so buyer beware https://github.com/adriel/siri-remote-control This is "my" first Mac app, before this I'd only built PHP or web based apps. Pretty surprising how quick Claude could make it. I always thought Mac apps were really hard to build.
