My heart has just sank into the pit of my stomach.

I am coding a very similar app, right this second.

I'm going to stop and have a scotch.

I wouldn't worry about it being similar. Put a twist on it - make it generate fake versions of the terribly boring magazines that lie around bathrooms forever. Or something similar - it'll still be interesting.
Take it as a very good sign that you're not the only app trying to do this! That means there is a market & customer demand for the product you have under development. Move fast and make things!

In fairness, "right this second" you were actually browsing Hacker News :)

Oooops! :/
Begrudgingly; congratulations. It was my bit of fun app after a serious start-up. The scotch will have to do.
Thanks :)
