That and the fact that most of those AI-generated web sites are clones of the thousand of applications that already exist, except that they now require an internet connection and a Google account for some reason.

His tool looks like a sticky note application with some Markdown inside. I'm pretty sure there are plugins that already can do this on Obsidian or any other text editor. It's funny to try to "vibe it" yourself but it's really useless in the long run since you'll be the one who will maintain it compared to the other projects with a good community behind.

100%. I love DIY software but I only build it if it's going to be better that what's already out there. And the "better" part has to include maintaining, extending, and deploying it. Those are the parts a non-dev won't want to do. Heck, I don't want to do it either (that's not the fun stuff), but flow coding or pair programming with an agent makes that part easier.
