Not all slop is created equal.
There's a lot of AI slop out there right now. Some of it is garbage. Some of it is genuinely useful, and some of it is just fun.
We're moving past vibe coding and into conversational development. It isn't just describing an idea and hoping for the best. It's about collaboration with AI. You work to grow an idea into a real product: agreeing on the specs and what success looks like, making the decisions that matter, then building and testing until it meets the bar. Ideas come to life faster, and building good apps is open to more people than ever.
So this trough isn't for scraps. It's for small and private apps I hope you are actually happy to find.

About
I'm David McPhearson. I've spent about 20 years in IT and security, and I still tinker with something new every week.
AI is a tool, and it's the one I build these with, mostly Anthropic's Claude Opus models. It writes most of the code. I decide what gets built, plan it, write the prompts, review what comes back and test it on my own devices. Nothing goes up here until I've used it.
