I found a WinAmp clone, written in Swift and AppKit, in the App Store yesterday. It was a month old, and from the description (ex. "No Electron, no bloat." and "No telemetry, no tracking, no accounts") it was almost certainly vibe coded. All the things it was saying were things I like, but written in a very AI way.

I think this is going to finally bring about the year of the open source desktop.

I’ll happily install that if I can see the source code, read it all in a sitting, and it is not terrible.

(Note that, in this model, if I want to futz with key bindings or other UI tweaks, I can just ask an LLM to change it. No configuration UI required! Just like evilwm.)
