4 of these are TUIs. I built Codiff specifically because TUI review became overwhelming to me. One of them is a web view, I prefer a native app window (it’s JS either way, ofc).

Also, I never wasted time building todo apps. Now I can build apps that help me do my job that I wouldn’t have had the time for without AI.

Kids these days. Calling JS "native" makes my stomach ache, but apparently this is normal.
1. I’m older than you. 2. I said native app window, comparing it to a tool with a browser web ui.
1. Why are you saying that ? Looking at your LinkedIn I'd say you're in your 40s, so effectively younger, lucky you !

2. Still, JS in the app window is not what I call native, but I won't fight over this

1. I am not in my 40s, but I take it that I was wrong ;)
