Apps have always been made by strangers. Until now. Make one for your people, or just for you.

Apps have always been made by strangers. Until now. Playful is a place to make apps for your unique life. Recreate Grandma’s recipes, start a fitness challenge with a friend, or make something for your neighborhood. No coding required. We call it homemade software. What will you make? Playful.app

Who's "we"? Everyone on here really buying coffee every morning? These "trends" not catching on is largely due to the influence of companies who would lose money if your needs aren't continually outsourced to them. I think we're smarter than that now.

Having fun is a super power. Remember to play more. Work as play, play as work. Once you start having fun doing something - you’re unstoppable.

Techcrunch gets it. There is so much unfulfilled demand for personal software that people can finally start to satisfy for themselves. Making it easier to create an app than it is to make a spreadsheet is the key. techcrunch.com/2026/01/16/th…

A new era of app creation is here. It's fun, it's fast, and it's fleeting.

"We’re entering an era of personal, disposable software." This is fantastic for most people but what happens to software engineers when people can make their own software? @codestirring argues engineers become more valuable, not less. chrisgregori.dev/opinion/cod…
Code Is Cheap Now. Software Isn’t.

Code Is Cheap Now. Software Isn’t.

The barrier to entry for building software has collapsed. The barrier to building something that matters hasn’t moved an inch.

We're at a similar inflection point to the one that early C compilers brought. Assembly language programmers were right that hand-coded was better. Then compilers got more sophisticated; CPUs more complex. Soon compilers were producing superior machine code than 99% of humans.

I love @outofdesk's take on personal software, "perfect software". It's perfect because it's made for your need. No more, no less. It serves no agenda other than your own. At some point it will be mundane but at the beginning it's liberating, exciting! outofdesk.netlify.app/blog/p…
