There's a stat that keeps haunting me: 61% of young adults report feeling seriously lonely. Not occasionally seriously.
I know this number isn't abstract. When I started building Murror (an AI companion app for young people battling isolation), I was living it. Working from a tiny apartment, going days without a real conversation, completely absorbed in a product designed to solve the very problem I was drowning in. The irony wasn't lost on me.
I got to the point when I need to hear your inspirational stories. Trying to force myself into coding. Are there existing such cases that you love only front-end/back-end more?
Every day, the PH feed is packed with shiny new SaaS tools most of them browser-based, many of them AI-infused. It s exciting, no doubt. But compared to a time not so long ago, something seems missing: local desktop apps.
They re rare now, and it makes me wonder are native apps still worth building, or have they quietly slipped into the realm of nostalgia?
After all, web apps offer clear benefits for both users and makers or investors. Users don t have to install anything, updates are seamless, and their data is accessible from any device with a browser. For investors, the advantages are just as compelling: a single tech stack, easier user onboarding, lock-in effects, and plenty of levers for driving growth and virality.
In yesterday's discussion by @aaronoleary, there were a few thoughts about using robots at home.
In this context, several questions occurred to me.
For example, what will happen to the future of humans if we delegate most of the manual and mental work to machines? How will we handle our free time? How will people be rewarded?
