Claude code, apparently.

iOpenPod is 100% slop. That’s why the “coder” updates it every 12 hours because it’s full of bugs and they constantly have to fix the spaghetti code.

I thought it was great, as do hundreds of stars on the Hub. Frankly it’s just shiny. Strawberry and Rhythmbox do the job more reliably.

there's a proprietary word processor that's prevalent where I live called Hangul (*.hwp). their public HWP format documentation is terrible and until very recently there weren't many methods to read HWP files other than using their proprietary windows/mac program. (this program is literally essential for reading government docs..)

then very recently some dev 'vibecoded' a web based equivalent in rust/wasm here and it works surprisingly well. occasionally a few documents are distorted but otherwise it's great for viewing.

does this count? it has 200 issues on github, a few contributors and 2000 stars. i do use some other tools that were built with ai but many are not widely used i guess, or most are already existing projects or open source version of closed shit.

I use PhotoCraft and LightCraft for my photo processing now which replaced two commercial apps for me. I tried using GIMP and DarkTable before, and found the UX was just too clunky for me. Neither app fully replicates the functionality, but they do enough of what I use day to day, and they feel snappy.

Personally, what I've found to be more interesting though are the custom tools I can now easily build for myself. For example, I was able to make my own news aggregator that goes through a bunch of different news sources using rss, scraping, reading youtube transcripts. It doesn't care what language the source is in, so I can get news from many different countries. Then it aggregates them to tell me what news are most widely reported, how stories evolve over time, find connections between them and give me a big picture overview. It took around a week to build, and it goes through hundreds of news sites each day to give me a briefing. Being able to make apps like this quickly that are customized to your exact workflow is something that just wasn't easily doable before.

So is the .ml admin staff just completely and utterly dominated by AI bros? Sheesh.

I would be very surprised if there is any significant piece of software recently developed (or older, but recently modified) that don't has any AI behind, wether in design coding testing or documentation.
