There have always been a million small POC clones of popular apps. Twitter, Trello, <insert popular todo app>, etc.

Doing a subset of what a market leader is doing, but worse, with no path to scale or support, isn’t going to go anywhere.

Yesterday someone vibe coded a password manager in 20 minutes and posted it here. Should anyone use it? Absolutely not. It’s a security nightmare, won’t get support, and the architecture is complete trash, requiring the use to run a local server the background that the app and browser extension talk to. Not to mention it will likely never see an update.

Successful competitors do something new. A lazy vibe coded clone doesn’t nothing new, and they don’t even do all the basics.
