When I was learning the Japanese kana (hiragana and katakana), I downloaded seven or eight different apps from the App Store, and finally chose one called MARU. It's a product by an independent developer, and it's very simple and efficient. Even for a mature topic like kana, different apps have different perspectives and approaches to solving the problem. I think this is still something that AI can't replace: good product taste and aesthetics, and solutions to problems in a specific field. However, I think another problem might arise: if a product is very good, someone might easily use AI to create a similar product with a different interface and sell it at a lower price, leading to intense competition. How should developers deal with this?
