will take a look at this loop.

yep, agent and genius are 2 distinct pipelines we're testing.

hahahaha i love it!!

sound and video generation are very very primitive compared to image gen. definitely something we want to beef up though!

haha oh, these kinds of clones are mostly just built on basic KV stores that we store in our postgres db! there's a couple different types of KV stores we give the app generations, but it's mostly just differing auth types (global, private, shared w/ friends).

ya - i think the replication of the wechat super-app has been attempted so many times in the west at this point, but maybe agi coding solves this...?

thanks! we just use good old fashioned postgres running on azure, paired with a node server and blob storage in r2. i like how simple it is, and logs show up in places i'd expect without having to remember how to navigate some ui. queuing was something that took a bit to figure out correctly, but pg-boss ended up being the most straighfoward/easy to deploy on our infra.

i think i've seen this prompt at least 5 times today in the logs lol

yea there's a ton now that i've stopped trying to keep tabs on them. i agree that most 'vibe-coded' apps are still really, really basic, so we try to lean into that. give some cool apis that make certain things easy, and make it easy to create kinda dumb, but fun apps. the sweet spot is usually some kind of meme, or something with your friends, like https://asim.sh/@rish/s/157178/create-a-cute-gamified-app-ca...

wow I haven't heard someone bring up dreamweaver in probably a decade. brings back memories of coding on my cow colored gateway laptop :')

currently they only live inside of aSim, but we are playing around with the idea of being able to export apps. the Android APK export is definitely doable, but the iOS side is definitely more challenging, so unsure if we will commit to it.

hmm, kinda like a... y combinator?

We’re a bit different than these since our apps are instantly deployed, not deployed through expo. So right after generation, you tap on your app and it loads and is usable, kinda like a webpage.

React native definitely seems to work the best! I think the current generation LLMs have just seen so much js/ts they can just about do anything in those languages.

yep, you could describe it like that!

will be taking a note of this and putting into consideration for our next venture!

we're definitely under heavy load right now - might be hitting some rate limits. can you try again now? if it still doesn't work, hit me up at dli@asim.sh or on our discord https://www.asim.sh/discord and i'll get you sorted!

thanks for the kind words! yep, this is exactly how we're thinking about this space as well! we think as software dev costs compress, it'll become a new modality of expression, similar to how we've seen images and video platforms take off as creation costs start to really compress.

haha i think it's been a great namesake!

haha no (at least not to my knowledge)! just following in gmail's footsteps of launching on april fools

we're currently planning on adding the ability for app creators to charge users, similar to Roblox/Robux if you're familiar, and that revenue will be shared between us and the app creator

unfortunately we've already been targeted by a small scale DOS attack (or wallet attack?), and account creation on our most expensive model was the only way we could solve the problem for now :/

Thx for the feedback - didnt have a chance to implement email otps (will start that now!) and even less didn’t want to figure out sign in with google/apple

thank you! we've definitely had a blast building it, hope you enjoy it!

A bit too costly to run currently, but if there are cheaper alternatives or such, I think it could be doable in the future!

thanks!
