About

Designer and PM who builds tools for AI coding workflows. Right now that's SlimSnap, a Mac app that turns a screenshot into structured JSON your terminal agent can read instead of guessing at pixels. More interested in fixing the input than chasing the model.

Any coding agent gives you a working version of a feature in minutes. Ask again and you get another one, also working, slightly different. Working stopped being the filter.

My rule is simple: I ship the version with the fewest moving parts, because I'm the one debugging it at 2am. Speed of writing means nothing against speed of fixing.

What's your filter? Curious if anyone has a better rule than simplest one wins

A lot of people shipping apps in 2026 don't call themselves developers. Curious what the real split looks like here. Upvote whichever comment fits, I'll share the results in a few days.

No judgment, genuinely curious. How many of us asked ChatGPT for app ideas at some point, then ended up building one of them, or half-building it? The line between "my idea" and "the model's idea" got blurry this year. Where did your current project actually come from?
