Photoshop alternatives already exist and are cheap or free, like Affinity. Why create a Final Cut Pro alternative when it’s so cheap from Apple? Many existing apps can be mostly cloned by a small team over 6 months or a year, but the challenge is finding customers willing to switch. You still need to add something new and useful, then reach customers somehow. |

"Many existing apps can be mostly cloned by a small team over 6 months or a year,"
I have a vision of re-imagining stuff that is currently done across 5 apps, done within one that is far simpler and with favourable economics. Most people wont figure this kind of stuff out - it requires a lot of imagination. And if done in stealth - the incumbents will be fcked.
My belief is that we are gonna see a lot of consolidation - things that used to be done across multiple apps within one. Whilst at the same time a rise in apps that do one thing really really well - think of it as being closer to the ideal product where people current face a mismatch cost. This will remove the existence of most 'general' apps - which is a good thing imo.
