Re:The Disposable Software Era by jonathanhar on Monday April 21, 2025 @11:01AM (#43752741)
I'm experimenting with a concept I call "disposable software": apps that are built instantly, serve a short-term purpose, and disappear.

Think: group trip planner, one-off microsite, weekend chore tracker.

I wrote about why I think this is inevitable (like disposable media), how AI is making it happen, and what this could mean for creativity and computing.

Curious to hear what HN folks think: Is there room in the stack for throwaway apps?
